“The Tannahill Weavers play acoustic instruments, but the atmosphere at their shows is electric. The quartet is as tight and as versatile as any band in the Celtic music revival. They can summon rock ‘n’ roll intensity or haunting introspection.” -The Boston Globe, Boston MA
“An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new.” – New York Times
