PRESSEN SIGER:
“John McQuaid er noget af det bedste der er hændt dansk folkemusik. Også rockmusikere kan lære af ham. Denne dansk-irer har det bare i sig: Entusiasme, nærvær og en magisk evne til a gøre det flotte enkelt.... Man imponeres over helheden, over variationerne og over enkelhederne.” Jyllands-Posten
“Der er Lennon-McCartney’ske toner over McQuaids fabulerende historie om det varme fugle-menneske, den desillusionerede diskoteksdanser Kristi Sparkle og hesten med det ejegode gemyt. De bløde sangbare melodier bæres også af en harmonisering, som peger mod træk fra den trekvart-akustiske musik i 60ernes slutning.” Information
