Here's what some people have said about the band...
a maelstrom of beautiful Pagan-Folk creativity
melodic, well-arranged and frankly damn catchy!
a unique edge and breath of modern air while still retaining the familiarity of traditional sounds
they should be touring the world playing at the international folk festival circuit, it is a crime that they are not!
the rhythm section are tighter than my landlord
intelligent, witty and above all down to Earth people...friends rather than just performers
Spiral Dance exude a confidence and classy maturity
it rattles your ancestors
you’re taken on a mystical, wistful journey to the heart of Celtic folk music
a class act both live and recorded
as powerful as any equinox, as reinvigorating as any inspired ritual
music of mystery and intrigue, a joyful celebration of life
mature, melodic and powerful
