"Wonderful gig at the Opera House last night. The interplay between Niamh, Liam, Ciarán and John makes for a quietly thrilling experience. Each of the characters is so well defined, so comfortable in their own skin and so attuned to the others that the show very quickly moves beyond being merely a concert into something almost theatrical. Brilliant." Senan O'Reilly, National Opera House
