‘The melody constantly demands your attention, and its raw intensity can be quite overpowering … On this evidence, old style Irish music is alive and well on both shores of the Atlantic, at least in the hands of Gannon and Smith.’ – Irish Music Magazine
‘Ó Gráda’s fast, rhythmically precise flute-playing has an earthy raucous tone reminiscent of the saxophone and is driven by a spirit from the true heart of traditional music.’
