"The arrangements on Optimists Jig held my interest throughout... where Daniel Lanois uses a barage of synths and effects, Haines & Leighton weave their cloth from more natural fibres... This album will sustain your interest through repeated listenings."

"Optimists Jig has a versality and diversity that comes from years of experience... the energy goes both ways."

Land O' Lakes, The Sun

".... an excellent CD"
