WHAT THE CRITICS HAD TO SAY ABOUT STOCKTON'S WING

Joe Sasfy, Washington Post

Mike Van Niekerk, The West Australian

"Stockton's Wing hit the target, melody lines darted this way and that, imparting a lilting, carefree sweep, before kicking into overdrive."
Jim Sullivan, Boston Globe

Philip Nolan, Evening Press

"Stockton's Wing had the crowds crying and smiling to syncopated solos of flute, banjo and fiddle."
Andrew Brock, The Age

"As folk musicians, the band has virtuosity to spare - particularly fiddler Maurice Lennon and flautist Paul Roche."
Jon Pareles, New York Times.

"The accomplished five-man group, Stockton's Wing, provided compelling music old and new. Its instrumentals were as lyricism itself, while its songs were as lusty and likable as the performers themselves."
Samala Harris, The Adelaide Herald

"The great thing about Stockton's Wing is that they are never the same; one year there will be a rock edge, another jazz yet again some acoustic divergence."
Laurie Devine. Dirty Linen

Ken Ferguson, The West Australian
