"12 unhurried tracks that shine with an easy grace...the songs honesty and winning tunefulness allied to the subtle playing and production make this a debut album of note"     Joe Breen, IRISH TIMES

"Instantly appealing...gorgeously yearning melodies and poignant vocals. It goes without saying that the guitar playing is deft and sumptuous. Listen up"                                        Colm O'Hare **** HOT PRESS

"This debut reminds listeners that he is a master of mellow, whose gloriously understated vocals are accompanied by a neat mix of acoustic and electric guitars"
