DIRTY LINEN (USA), March / April, 2009
"A dream quartet - the sweetest and most exciting music to emerge from the British Isles
for a long time. Matching virtuosity with sheer good taste, this album of traditional and
original music pours joyfully from the speakers... amazing, majestic, delightful"
BRAVOS Award!!!
TRAD MAGAZINE (France) January 2009
“Attention, chef d'œuvre! Bref, ce qui se fait de mieux avec les cordes en
Irlande aujourd'hui! 14 sets... tous aussi sublimes les uns que les autres! Le morceau
d'ouverture,“Wild good chase”, va très certainement devenir un classique...”

THE IRISH TIMES 10 October, 2008
"A tightrope walk into uncommon worlds... This is traditional music at its very best: crossing
boundaries, tapping our own tunes alongside bluegrass and ragtime borrowings.
Many lifetimes' worth of music."

IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE, November 2008
“Wonderfully diverse... World-class guitar-playing.. Low sensuous singing... Hummable,
captivating, infectious, masterly... A top drawer album from one of the best independent
labels in Celtic music.”
THE LIVING TRADITION
“Two of the mightiest pairings in current folk, McGlynn-Casey and Newman-Ni Chathasaigh
combine to give a tour-de-force of breathtaking order. Classic.”
