At once stately and buoyant, the pair embark on their odyssey with equal measures of grace and danger.' The Irish Times
"Kelly’s fiddle strikes a tone as old as the hills, richly evocative of Patrick O’Keeffe on the air Stór Mo Chroí. Power’s piping reaches deep into the core of the tunes. His Ace and Deuce of Piping variation lends this majestic tune a renewed elegance, beautifully punctuated by his richly rhythmical pacing and wide-open tone." The Irish Times
"There’s a magic to “Apples in Winter” that will resonate with people who love and admire traditional Irish music played with a stately air and a gentlemanly touch. Power and Kelly obviously prefer to put the music’s elegance first, but there is a vigor in their playing that completes the package and brings energy to the tunes they’ve selected." The Irish Echo
