Hugely entertaining and characterful...a brilliant portrayal of episodes from Don Quixote. Brilliantly executed with flair and panache. - Fanfare

Enormous rhythmic zest...poetic and elegant. - The Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the very opening, I was enthralled - there is a sort of communal ease about the band, a sense of humour and genuine enjoyment. - Early Music Review
