"The co-joining of Uilleann piper Jarlath Henderson and Scottish piper Ross Ainslie provides the listener with one of those rare moments that requires a good malt to sit and relax with. None more so than on the tracks “Jenna Drever Of Kirkwall” segueing into “Absynthe Makes The Heart Grow Fonder”. Both of these melodies utilise low whistles and the melancholy feel generated by the neat key changes alternating from major to minor will, I’m sure, be heard at many a good session. As expected, the duo are also capable of cranking the speeds up with some flashy displays of harmonic sparring including the grand opening track “Old Bush/Jolly Tinker/Richard Dwyer’s”. With youth very much on their side Ross and Jarlath have plenty of time to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with....Reviewd by Pete Fyfe"
