An entrancing play...mystical and enchanting... bound by heavenly strands of music. It's beautiful."
  — Santa Rosa Press Democrat

The Fine Beauty of the Island is a new solo musical theater piece written and performed by Patrick Ball, considered one of the world's premier Celtic harpist & storytellers. With a single instrument, a brass-strung harp, Ball draws on ancient traditions and his own dexterous skill to summon the harmonies of a magical world, as he tells the story of his journey in search of the origin and meaning of a strange, enchanting tune which led him back not only to a community and culture "whose like will not be seen again," but to a long-neglected corner of his own past.
