"Never has the blend of accordion, guitar and bodhrán sounded so complete and unfettered." (fRoots, England)

"One could imagine, from hearing their outstanding CD, that they are a huge success at festivals." (Le Canovel, Belgium)

"Still all in their teens, they play with a maturity well beyond their years, displaying good musicianship and excellent arrangements of some well known Irish tunes." (The Living Tradition, UK)

"Each of these three young apprentices are excellent technicians of their respective instruments." (Vejle Amts Folkeblad, Denmark)

"The three lads are impressive not only for technical fluency, but also for an interpretation that gets inside the tunes. If you didn’t know in advance, you’d be totally justified in thinking they were to the pure drop, born into a hurling parish west of the Dodder." (Irish Music Magazine)

Our debut CD, "Reel Irish," can be bought from www.folkshop.dk and www.gofolk.dk)
