The duo are previous winners of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards 2008 and The Scots Trad Awards Up And Coming Artist Of The Year 2008. They were also nominated for the BBC Folk Awards 'Horizon' award in 2009.

"From the moment that I first heard them I knew that Siobhan and Jeana were the pure drop, the real thing. Their voices are rich and resonant, their understanding of and feel for the music profound. Added to that they are damn fine musicians and can hoof it a bit too!" (Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2)
