Here are a few comments from people who have bought the GFT album:

'Very nice set of tunes on guitars, mandolin and banjo, plus assorted pig and cat friends. The duo switch from fast bluegrass picking to gentle Irish airs, with the virtuosity element strongly to the fore, but not overwhelming the tunes. Bet they're blinding live.'
FRoots Magazine, December 2006

"Many thanks for the CD. It is filled with beautiful music! I really like it. Not only is the musicianship stunning, the tunes are memorable (my daughter is humming Don't Touch My Pig), and the sound is excellent. It looks great in terms of the artwork etc.. The video clip works on my mac with no problems, and you look like a couple of very professional and passionate musicians. It is the mix of stunning musicianship, artistry and great tunes; this is really rare. . ."

"I have had two listens from beginning to end and it has proved no effort at all. It seems to work best when I have a book to read, which puts you up there with J.S. Bach. The production quality is tip-top and gives the impression of live performance. I have not been a big fan of traditional music in the past and I do prefer the stuff the two of you compose and play to everything I have heard in the past. The sequence of the pieces and the dynamic of the disk is splendid. All in all it is a rather lovely thing. . ."
