"...Colcannon
used their rich vocal harmonies to show why they are three times
winners of the SA Music Industry Folk Award..."
(The Advertiser, Adelaide, October )
"I've never made a solo recording before although
I've participated in over 50 of other people's. It's a personality
thing I guess. I prefer to be in background and that's why
I love playing as Eric Bogle’s accompanist and being
a member of Colcannon. I can hide to some extent in those
situations to be honest. When Ian Green (Greentrax) suggested
this project I thought it was just those off the cuff comments,
but he mentioned it several more times in slightly more forceful
ways until I was left wirh the impression that I’d better
get my head down and get on with it."

"Dear Colcannon,
Only thing I can say is, the new album is absolutely brilliant,
superb, fantastic and not bad at all! Honestly, I do believe
this is your best work to date."
Cheers.
