Reviews:
Irish Times – Nuala O’Connor
"Niall Vallely’s technical mastery and genius for improvisation are matched by apparently inexhaustible creative reserves. The bending and reshaping is fresh and original, ever mindful of the tune’s delicate melodic structure."

Dirty Linen – Dan Willging
"Vallely is one of Ireland’s newest musical treasures…He articulates his craft elegantly and precisely, leaving no style or mood untouched."

Evening Echo – Paul Dromey
"This album is a snapshot recording of a virtuoso musician at the peak of his musical and imaginative power…His playing has the quality of quicksilver, his fingers flashing across the keys as he cajoles original nuances and snatches of artistic magic from timeless old tunes or conjures up ingenious new compositions…"
