MCGOWAN'S KINGDOM Radio stations across the the U.S.A & Canada have been picking up on his unique sound which blends haunting instrumental melodies and harmonies together beautifully using lush orchestral strings, piano, guitar and the subtle use of traditional Celtic instruments such as uilleann pipes and bodhran.

More and more radio station broadcasters and programmers in the states are expressing their favorable opinion of his music and are adding tracks from all of his CDs to their play lists.

Pete Havey, broadcaster of Mystic Soundscapes Radio Station commented: "I spent the morning listening to (and thoroughly enjoying) the new "Kingdom" release. All I can say is, "Amazing!" In my (humble) opinion, this is one of Tim's best releases to date. "Kingdom" has an adventurous feel to it - I imagined myself traveling through distant lands and taking in the sights and sounds. An awesome experience! It's obvious he took a lot of time and put his heart and soul into this project, and I thank him for sharing his talent and his music with us! Congratulations to Tim on an outstanding piece of work, the wait was definitely worthwhile."
