La Nef
La Nef has pared down Dowland's complex accompaniments, aiming for a Celtic, folky feel. Dowland-lite it may be, but the recital is beautifully performed.

About
Dowland dedicated his song From Silent Night “To my loving countryman, Mr. John Forster the younger, merchant of Dublin, in Ireland”, revealing his possible Irish origins. Working closely with the American tenor Michael Slattery, La Nef gives Dowland’s Ayres a simple celtic flavour. “…a talented and serious artist.” Gramophone.
