Clancy’s Irish Music Radio, December
2000, Austin Kenny
“A soundpost is part of a fiddle and
a bridle is part of an uilleann pipes. An apt title then for
the debut album ... The playing is stunningly accomplished,
exuberant and dynamic and the two brothers play together with
the empathy and instrumental equivalent of the glorious sibling
vocals of the Everlys or the McGarrigles. There are slow airs
and they are beautifully executed but it’s the high
energy jigs and reels that dazzle. Flaithrí’s
piping is amazing but the real killer punch is Eoghan’s
fiddle playing. He plays with a syncopated attack and his
phrasing and bending of notes, like rock/blues guitar, add
incredible drive and power to the dance tunes. This is a
mightily impressive debut album...”
