Some press cuttings:

"They present French dance tunes in a mood enhancing way, which fit well alongside old tunes from Renaissance times reworked with their own arrangements. The rules of performing old folk tunes are thrown away and replaced with a slower, more thoughtful performance. I am still playing this CD on the way to work."

"While Wood and Cutting are undoubtedly very good at the music they play, Mark and Clive are as good, if not better, at the style of music they play. A selection of French waltzes and mazurkas, English songs and hymn tunes played in a relaxed yet very tight style with harmonies and rhythms interwoven and explored to create haunting melodies that though your inner emotions."
