"What a joyful experience it was to listen to this cracking CD. The young performers play not only with the technical accomplishment that has come to be expected from the North East of England, but also with a seemingly effortless understanding of their musical tradition. The material is very well chosen to show the band in the best possible light. From Colin Bradford's beautiful and seemingly tailor-made melodies to the long established favourites, and including new classics absorbed into the tradition from further afield, the music is always arranged with sensitivity and played with a wonderful sense of fun."
