that a trio demands adjectives like “orchestral”
and “cinematic” to describe the scale and power

refreshing for it. Go on, impress your friends and yourselves

"Bachue ... sheer musical expression. A fusion of folk
and jazz ... a new musical entity is created by the complete
blending of two musical forms. The players take chances ...
smiling at each other as they pull off another audacious run,
stretching a phrase until it is about to break and then getting
back at the last possible, exquisitely-timed instant." THE

"Refracted harmonics, delicately articulated phrasing and
a rhythmic swing ... her vocals crossed Jeannie Robertson
with Billie Holiday, pitched perfectly. Both players' backgrounds
in jazz are unobtrusively apparent in many of the tunes, adding
fresh twists and colours to traditional material ... notable
for the sense of space they create. Simply delivered, artfully
austere" SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY

"There
is a less-is-more approach, an economy of arrangement and
interpretation that is the more expressive for it's subtlety.
In the tune sets, Hewat's supple, rippling delivery, enlivened
and enriched by constant tricksy jazzy twists of rhythm and
melody, is beautifully grounded by Milligan's expansive piano
style, a seamless rolling blend of pop, jazz, funk and honky-tonk
strands. Accompaniment in the songs was throttled right back,
boldly foregrounding Hewat's dark, velvety, yet raw-edged
voice and her quietly compelling way with words." THE SCOTSMAN

"Imagine an encounter
between Savourna Stevenson and Micheal O'Suilleabhean and
you have the starting point for the jazzily-inflected music."
