"a delightful shimmering collection of traditional and Gaelic music, given a modern twist and funky undercurrent". (The Times)

"Earthy Celtic funk echoing ancient yet vibrant Gaelic dynamics. In Karen Matheson we have an angel who can stir the emotion of any devil. Their music is cool, modern, slicked back and constantly evolving" (City Life Magazine)
