  • “The drones of Scottish smallpipes and the playing of a string quartet interweaving, coalescing, departing and reuniting.” — The Quietus
  • “A completely wonderful meeting of contemporary chamber music with both Irish and Scottish traditional music, and an exploration of the idea of home.” — Unclassified, BBC3
