...the audience who cheered and clapped the group to the low rafters and joined energetically in the singalongs with two choruses.... Stornoway Gazette

Her singing left me goose-pimpled all over – a sure sign of a gutsy, emotional delivery laced with meaning and pathos.

Album Reviews

“Crystal-clear production values let each instrument breathe clear, so that their eclectic mix of fiddle, flute, box, guitar and clarsach step in and out of the limelight with an agility that leaves ego outside the door.” Siobhan Long – The Irish Times 2007

“Subtlety and unexpected nuances arrest…”
John O’Regan, Froots December 2007

"This is a superb debut album from a precociously talented group of musicians where the singing and playing is of the highest standards and the overall mood one of joyous exuberance."
Maverick Magazine, July 2007

There's no sense of formula to the arrangements, and no hard-and-fast role delineation with regard to allocation of melody or front-line, and this makes for some enchanting and sprightly interplay and swopping-round of parts. David Kidman, August 2007

Having heard them perform live and been mightily impressed, I'm pleased to say The Outside Track has produced their eponymous first CD. This band is a fine example of how young musicians can take 'traditional' acoustic folk music, ensure it continues to evolve and yet remain true to its roots. The minute you listen to them you just know they're going a long way. Tom Carroll, Folkwords

A fresh and spirited collection of mostly upbeat songs and tunes. Tom Nelligan, Dirty Linen

"A guitarist who's skilled in both lead/melody and rhythm work" Tom Carroll, Folkwords
