Treoir - Dublin, Ireland
"On the debut solo
album by Patty Furlong, the life and fluidity of her button accordion
playing are both distinctive and impressive. Her choice of tunes is
unerring, and the musicians, and in one instance, the dancer, who
perform with her expertly complement her playing. It's a solo recording
to cherish, a cause for celebration, from one of New York's finest
Irish musicians." Earl Hitchner
Claddagh Records - Dublin Ireland
"Excellent music on accordion from a New York musician, much better
than some of what comes out of Ireland ". Finbarr Dwyer
Irish Voice
"This recording is music for dancing or for listening, both antique and
recently composed tunes, all played with technical brilliance,
infectious good humour and impeccable traditional taste." Don Meade
Celtic Beat Magazine
"Patty's
playing is both clean and precise, while demonstrating mastery of
phrasing and dynamics; makes me want to listen to the CD over and
over." Ryan Thompson,
Irtrad
"Patty has the old style D box down pat - she's a combination of
Charlie Mulvihill, Joe Cooley and Gene Kelly ( may they all rest in
peace) all wrapped in one - a great player if there ever was one." Jim

recommended concert." Pareles

"Their music is full-bodied and drives you to every movement. The band
which is a fantastic dance band, was acknowledged before we continued
- rousing applause welcomed the musicians back." John Shields
