“This was an ensemble ready musically to take centre stage but also to morph seamlessly into their mock military mode or gentle, intimate, mandolin-like accompaniment as required, always conveying a sense of the music building sensitively under the commanding direction of [Fitzpatrick].” - John Dunston, Daily Info, May 2023
