"... every note is in place, every word is clear, every touch is totally professional ... a class act from start to finish ..."

alex monaghan (living tradition)


"... an eclectic hybrid of styles, rooted in traditional folk but also drawing on bluegrass, blues, jazz and cajun ... an impressive instrumental combination." ()

kenny mathieson (the scotsman)


"... their sound reveals a fluency across [a] range of styles, and a dab dual hand at knitting them all together, all propelled by a punchy drive ... an alchemic blend of superb musicianship and empathy, adding up to a fiery new force." ()

sue wilson (the sunday herald)
