"Whisht! traditional singing group provided excellent tremelous vocals on Macquarie Harbour which is spooky and atomspheric ... Currach features excellent vocals from Helen Kirwan, with the male vocals equally strong. It is an intimate, genuinely moving performance, with hushed playing [from the Irish Chamber Orchestra] during which you could see a sudden tremor of life in the conductor's [Fergus Sheil's] hand as he went about his work ... The Harbour was written by Irish poet, Winifred Letts, and speaks of the Wexford coastline. It was an ideal finish to the musical event, including all of the choirs, with a paroxysm of emotion provided by Paddy Berry of Whisht!" (David Looby, The Echo)

"Currach, by Tony Curtis, was sung by Paddy Berry, Helen Kirwan, Paul O'Reilly and Niall Wall with delicate monochromes, and a vocal beauty at once as fleeting as wild tulips" (Tom Mooney, The Echo)
