Notable songs include Manus Lunny's Grace and Pride which was used on the million selling Celtic Moods album, and Tobermory, a powerful driving rhythm backing Karen's dramatic Gaelic chant.
"Afro percussion, dancefloor synth zaps, funky soulful organ, and shaftular wah-wah, reeling fiddles and whistles overlaid with the poised and elegant voice of Karen Matheson" (Q Mag)
"Few woman fronting any kind of British band possess a voice to touch Karen Matheson's, remarkable in English but breathtaking when she draws on Hebridean roots to sing in Gaelic" (Daily Telegraph)
