  Reviewers responses to Relentless and Burn

Sheer quality playing, imagination and variety...What sets them ahead of most other bands in the field is that all their tunes are original...The beauty of these tunes is that they're absolutely in the idiom...Though they must be one hell of a band for ceilidhs, their imagination sustains repeated listening with ease. The best new dance band I've heard in at least a decade.

Ian Anderson, fRoots

 

If, as has been widely predicted, English dance music is readying itself for a second coming, this lot will be waving the standard. An eight-piece band who can spot a great tune at a million paces and they know exactly what to do with it too...A passionate march of sax, cittern and melodeon.

Colin Irwin, Mojo

 

A lively and varied collection of new tunes with some interesting and amusing arrangements. I found I was smiling constantly.

Chris Bartram, Shreds And Patches

 

A great album to listen to, as the band push out the boundaries of dance music for the ceilidh scene.

Colin Andrews

 

Fantastic and fresh arrangements...a breathtaking sound...It's the clever juxtaposition and melding of the different elements that make for such a great sound. The final verdict: it's mint and successfully captures the essence of their live performances. It can't get much better than that.

Cait Leach, Shreds And Patches

 

Well played and, most importantly, very danceable. I am impressed by their tight performances...a fresh, exciting sound. A good buy!

Norman Bearon

 

Innovative and genuinely cosmopolitan arrangements... beauteous listenability...Expert and unwaveringly tight playing, clever juxtapositions that really work. This is one of those rare dance band albums that just won't let you go.

David Kidman, Stirrings

 

Long time since we could experience a cd full of instrumental English dance music, rooted in tradition, Thank you chief! They mix some klezma or polka through their english danses , are not averse to a touch of New Orleans and have clearly one aim : to get the joint to dance. An hour long, spellbinding with only orighinal instumentals, not given to many. Whapweasel succeeded wonderfully without having to play even one cover.
Morris on my goodness (or some such expression), this is a jolly record.
