MILES TO GO A collection of thirteen acoustic instrumentals written, produced and performed by multi-instrumentalist David Hyams, along with many fine Australian musicians on a world spanning array of instruments that includes mandolin, uillean and highland bagpipes, cello, celtic harp, wood flute, concertina, french horn and percussion Miles To Go blends celtic, country-blues and other folk influences, taking inspiration from journeys in the West Australian outback and through the celtic lands. The album attracted considerable radio airplay across Australia after it was the featured album on national ABC Radio programme "The Planet" in September 1999. Live performances were quick to gain similar recognition, with the 8 piece Miles To Go Band soon becoming a festival favourite. Miles To Go has also attracted a string of great reviews worldwide, including a thumbs up in the prestigious UK-based Froots magazine, a rare accolade for an Australian recording. It has been included in Community Aid Abroad's catalogue of world music and pieces from the album have featured in the inflight music program for Qantas, Vietnam Airlines and Malaysian Airlines. "Watching the Wheels" one of the album's tracks, was included on the "Dirt Music" compilation album, released to coincide with the book of that name from Australian author Tim Winton.
