"..Although not present at the actual "birth" of Colcannon ( thank God, I have a weak stomach!), I have known the group from it's early infancy so to speak, and have watched them grow from a home-grown Adelaide good-time band to polished and accomplished international performers. There's been a few changes of personnel along the way, although surprisingly few given the years that Colcannon have been in existence, but no matter what the line-up, they have always given a stage performance that is never less than musically lively and involving and expertly and professionally presented. Although they already have more strings to their collective bows than a tribe of Commanche Indians ( vocally, instrumentally, harmonically etc. etc.), over the last five years or so they have added a strong collection of very good original songs to their repertoire, which to my mind helps set them apart from the majority of other groups. Mind you, it helps a lot that they do them bloody well............"
