A lively mix of tunes, rowdy songs and ballads..." - Tom Knapp, Rambles Magazine "...such strong Celtic imagery that you'd think the song was based on a centuries-old folk legend." - Brian Aberback, The Bergen Record "We heard jigs and aires and more jigs and ballads - all presented with an infectious enthusiasm." - Mitch Kaplan, Suburban News
