“Niall and Cillian Vallely, siblings and scions of the Armagh family that seems capable of populating virtually every traditional outfit this side of the Bothy Band, deliver a gorgeous herringboned collection of original and ancient tunes. Niall (ex-Nomos) tiptoes his concertina in between the air pockets of Lúnasa-member Cillian's pipes with enviable agility.” -- Siobhán Long, The Irish Times
“[Niall and Cillian Valley’s] tight unified duet work on uilleann pipes and concertina is the order of the day. The brothers know each other’s individual moves but when playing together the twin strands combine like tightly meshed high tension wire. The reels and jigs explode with kinetic energy.” – John O’Regan, Irish Music Magazine
“John Doyle [has] developed a style all his own and is now inspiring a new generation of guitarists.” -- Helene Northway, RootsWorld
“Whether playing in a band (Solas)… as an accompanist (Liz Carroll)… or as a solo performer, [John Doyle] has a magical touch, always providing exactly what is needed: the right progression, a nimble melody, a delicate harmony line - a dream guitarist.” - Irish Edition
