"Very fresh and original, able to tackle all kinds of music with a fearless approach - exciting from the word go. Their
vocal harmonies were very good. As for the playing of guitar with clarinet or sax - who would have thought to try it.
The beautiful soaring weaving of the clarinet and alto sax were quite magical while complimenting bravura singing.
Capable of tackling anything with their enthusiasm and skills, a great eclectic choice of music - definitely feel good
music."
