"I have worked with Brian for many years now, and believe that this album is his finest work to date - every song on An t-Allt is a real gem..." (Sandy Brechin)
"Gaelic song is currently looking for a future male star. Brian Ó hEadhra is that future star... His voice is sweet and warm, and he's an accomplished musician. But what makes him stand out is the sensuality in his voice..." (fRoots Magazine)
