Musical style

Robert McMillen, profiling the band for The Irish News after the release of their third album, wrote that "their signature sound is a rich tapestry of acoustic layers and textures, mixing outstanding musicianship with captivating original songs". [2]

Billy Rough, reviewing their second album for Folk Radio UK , wrote, "Characterised by a tight, cool mood, superbly balanced instrumental harmonies and some rather fetching melodies, the boys have captured a sound dipped in honey." [3]
