Press reveiws

"...what truly sets them apart is a real adventurous spirit ..." Rock ‘n’ Reel.

"Approaching everything they do with vigour and boundless energy, the superb production job on 'Dusk Till Dawn', their latest album, really does them credit and allows the band's instrumental prowess to shine." - Rock 'n' Reel.

"Well... A band where 'eclectic' does not mean it collects tunes from the corners of Europe but that it tips its hat to 1970's jazz fusion, picks up the odd classical reference, drifts into a dream sequence or two but one where the returns to folk tunes still do work." - Martin Kiff - Webfeet.


Yang the cat

The cat featured on both the front and back cover of the CD is ‘Yang’ and lives with Alison and Brian Heywood. Yang is the model for the band’s logo.
