"Once in a while a recording pulls you up short. The realisation hits you; a whole area of tradition has been clarified. This album does exactly that. My first impulse was to ask why no one had done it before, but the question's irrelevant; it has been done now and brilliantly.
This is an important landmark in music from the Scottish Borders. You can enjoy it for that, but I'd just like you to enjoy it for even more important reasons - because it's intricate, joyous and wonderful."
Brian McNeill, Head of Scottish Music, Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama
"One of Scotland's rich musical traditions is awoken from its slumbers by the vibrancy of youth. The Borders Young Fiddles play traditional and self-penned tunes with great thought and skill. This debut CD oozes musicality from start to finish and belies the fiddlers' tender years."
Catriona McDonald, Fiddle Genius from Shetland
