“… Lovers of traditional music will certainly welcome this disc and enjoy the playing and singing. However, others should also investigate it as it sheds light on an aspect of musical history which for obvious reasons is not often part of concerts and recordings. One can only appreciate the efforts of Anna Besson to bring this music to the attention of a wider circle than lovers of 'folk music'. Whether the performers do any justice to this repertoire is impossible to say if one does not know anything about this kind of repertoire and about Irish culture. However, there can be no doubt about the quality of music making here. Reinoud Van Mechelen is impressive in his account of the songs. The energetic and lively playing on the various instruments is also very enjoyable.”
