Paul Kerr, who was at the show and writing for this month's Maverick Magazine, said that Furnace Mountain was "Superb — a breath of fresh mountain air." We also landed a slot on BBC Two Scotland's Festival Highlights show. Check out the excellent BBC video of us at the Old Fruitmarket. Later, when we joined Roseanne Cash and Laura Cantrell for a live BBC Radio 3 broadcast from the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Ms. Kennedy told her listeners we were, in her opinion, "one of the hottest acts" on the circuit.
