about

“[Songs for Dead Sailors is] a work that combines improvisational flair with strong, haunting melodies, offering an appeal that transcends traditional categories.” Barry O’Sullivan, 2MBS.

“A thrilling ride with some unexpected detours... Everything Must Go was recorded in a day. With a quartet this good, who needs longer?” Courier-Mail.

“Timeless and unaffected... sweet, bluesy and inscrutable...” Courier-Mail.

“A full ringing tone and suppleness of melodic invention.” Limelight Magazine.
