"The album begins with a guitar intro, solid chords and tunes that build the tension of the flute to bring the melody of The Forgotten Jig, an Erwan Menguy composition. It's evident, from the opening notes , that the flute playing is extraordinary, with fluttering breath tremors and passing nyah moments, the track kicks off on “John Kelly” and ends on jazzy “Adenza's Storm”, reminiscent of Brian Finnegan and Mike McGoldrick, modern masters; Erwan Menguy can hold his own with either one.
De Mina breathes oriental music, a pure flute solo, the call of a minaret, when the guitar arrives we are transported to the Balkans; It is the longest piece, the most complex which develops over more than 7 minutes. They return home to Brittany with “A Greiz Galon” opening on small guitar guitar solo notes before the usual hypnotic Breton dance takes us on a round of Fest noz.
The album closes with a slow Irish track “Cailin Na Griaige Baine”, an emotional ending to a very good album indeed. If you're a flute player, this is a record for your collection, it will challenge you on so many (good) levels." Sean Laffey, Irish Music Mag
"Also a bombarde and biniou player, it is as a flautist that Erwan Menguy appears here, and what a flautist! A very warm and fast, twirling wooden transverse flute, and an Iow whistle of the same ilk. Composer of the very beautiful titular track, he masterfully interprets some unexpected pieces like “Geamparalele”, with very expressive improvisations.
Erwan Bérenguer, on the acoustic guitar, became known in the group Spontus and is as comfortable in varied and effective accompaniments as in the melodies. Both already have a great experience in concert and in fest-noz, and this mixture of Irish, Breton and other tunes, composed or traditional, is a real treat. Marc Bauduin, Le Canard Folk
"Menguy - Bérenguer. The two Erwans in their thirties today are part of this generation that amazed us very early on. The first, at the biniou alongside Daniel Féon. The second as guitarist of Spontus. Since then, the two artists have musical adventures.
Here they are reunited for an Irish getaway. Menguy here plays the wooden crossbar, an instrument he discovered as a teenager and on which he developed a very personal style inspired by the musicians of Roscommon, the county from which the famous Malt Molloy comes. Particular sign: combines virtuosity and sensitivity. Qualities that he totally shares with Erwan Bérenguer, expert in the art of weaving sonorous lace with his strings." Ouest France
