"One of the greatest flute players in the world" - BBC Music.

"McGoldrick is a rare pearl. He can pull off the impossible" - Ouest-France.

"Michael is in a class of his own - it's always a joy to share a stage or a studio (or a beer) with him" (Mark Knopfler).

"Mike McGoldrick is one of those rare musicians who never fails to serve the song and the moment in ways that cut through any blocks or filters. If pyrotechnics and passion are called for, he is there, delivering music that burns and soars. If a medium-tempo groove is needed to draw dancers to the floor, he is there with as strong a sense of timing and as infectious a sense of melody as exists anywhere on the globe. If an emotional slow air or a fluid ballad part is what completes an evening, or an album, then Mike brings forth that energy with a soulful tenderness all his own. In short, he is without doubt a musician's musician. . . but he is much more than that. It is hard to imagine anyone in the world not responding to the music that flows from him so naturally and beautifully, timed, always, to the rhythm of the heart." (Dirk Powell).

"All my albums have been a progression over the last 20-odd years, but this time I was really trying to use all those experiences to do something a bit different – different from how I've written and recorded before, and also from what anyone else is doing." Michael McGoldrick.
