"........ is a very impressive debut by a talented group of musicians"
Edward W Reid NINNAU

"The players distinctly classical approach suits this particular combination and is evident as much in their phrasing as in the blending of instrumental timbres....the tune arrangements are never less than inventive"
David Kidman TRADITIONAL MUSIC MAKER

"The album will please fans of several instrumental folk and classical traditions, particularly those with a love of the baroque, and the less raucous Celtic ensembles".
