“Absolutely superb” Bob Harris, BBC Radio2. Take a lead singer of Liberian griot lineage with a throat full of reggae and gospel, a Hebridean guitarist with a background in folk fingerpicking and 60s psychedelia, a Parisian percussionist who had travelled and drummed extensively in the world’s Latin quarters, an Aberdonian bassist with a fixation on finding the groove that would link Peter Gabriel’s world fusion and The Who, a Paisley-born jazz-inflected drummer who studied in Berklee, Boston, a Ugandan singer with a soul voice and an obsession with melancholic 70s singer-songwriters, and a Ghanaian dancer with one foot in the R’nB bag and the other dragging it away to African Gospel harmony choir recitals… stick them together in the back of a transit van for six years or so, lock them in a sandwich factory for a while and then entomb them in a smoke-filled recording studio and you have this album.
“ a stunning piece or work! … simply mind-blowing!”***** Peter J Brown.
“Allez! is the most stunning mix of western and African music since Paul Simon's Graceland”**** John Dingwall, Daily Record.
“clever arrangements carry the imagination from Africa to Scotland, making other surprising stops along the way” ToxicPete
