"Stockton's Wing rendered he hoariest
of western folk traditions with an urgency and vitality every bit
as strong as another Irish band, U2."
Joe Sasfy, Washington Post
"Versatility is the watchword of Stockton's
Wing. They are equally adept at crafting stirring traditional tunes
as they are with more sensitive vocal melodies. They transform regional
roots into a vehicle for universal communication."
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
"They're always great value for money and provide
an infectiously lively night out. Don't miss 'em - you don't get
the chance to see them too often."
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
"Then came Stockton's Wing, concentrating on
what they do best, blistering sets of tunes and stunning musicianship.
Their songs and arrangements had very effective dynamic and tonal
variety so that when they really let go they took the roof off."
Ken Ferguson, The West Australian
"Stockton's Wing displayed all the fire, drive
and technical virtuosity that are fast winning them new friends."
Sue Wilson, The Scotsman
"They were eclectic, electric, passionate,
personal, innovative and powerful."
Ronnie Lundy, The Louisville Times "Letting
Go opens a vivid new chapter in the long running sucess story of
Stockton's Wing, an outfit widely regarded as the academy Of Excellence
of Irish music. Many of Ireland's finest musicians have graced the
rank's of Stockton's Wing contributing to an impressive body of
work which has consistently pushed back the boundaries of traditional
Irish Music"
