PRESSEN SKREV
“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
“Stilfærdig og smukt. Pågående og kraftfuld. Tekst og musik fungerer flot sammen, og i det hele taget er musikken meget afvekslende... En oplevelse af en karakter, som vi ikke er forvænt med herhjemme.”
Jydsk Tidende
“Der er Lennon-McCartney’ske toner over McQuaids fabulerende historie om den 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
“Denne poetiske lækkerbid – som et musikalsk svar på konditoriets bløde og marcipan-
omkrænsedenapoleonskage – er bundet sammen med en lige så silkeblød og afdæmpet musik.” Byens Fri Bla
