HotPress, Oliver P. Sweeney
“... a duo which reminds me from the off of the casual but drumtight interplay between Paddy Keenan and Tommy Peoples in the early lineup of The Bothy Band. ... The brothers' trademark as players is a wildness that infuses even the slowest, most measured tunes with passion ...”

Greenman Review, Pat Simmonds
“... Comparisons are inevitable: some things are Lunasaesque in manner, others are very Liam O'Flynn with orchestra. Other young pipes and fiddle oriented bands (Calico, for example) get the nod as do old warhorses like The Bothy Band ...”
