'One Night Stands.' 'Having a little boogie! Not gonna lie, I was having a little boogie listening to this track. It’s jumpy and
fun, and the lyrics are corny as hell...I like it! I always wonder what inspires you to write like this? It’s amazing! Keep on
rocking mate, the music is awesome!' Josie Jackson London UK (11/10/2017)
Shoulda Known. 'It's a treat to hear a new sound in Country. Not a hard luck song, but an accolade to faithful love. So
refreshing to hear a new instrumental style with alternative instruments.' Electric Spice Selkie. UK, WALES (21/9/2017)

'Tonight almost a moon after a blurry night in Clonakilty, I find this lovely, haunting music in my possession. "Dreamcraft"... I
detect influences... The Waterboys... Scullion... Kate Bush, and the undeniable flavour of West Kerry...Ballyvourney... and so
on. Enchanted.' (Dec. 2004)(Collette Olney)
'Dreamcraft is great for a sense of heart that rides all the way from the most humorous to the most pensive of musical moods.
If you like your folk music unexpectedly diversified yet intertwined intimately with the tradition, shuffle on over to their Web
site and order this CD.' (May 2004)(Green man Review)
'Last night we heard Dreamcraft, a Dutch girl and an Australian man, play jigs and reels and sing sad, ancient airs; and they
were magic.' (18/8/2003)(Damien Enright - Irish Examiner)

(Green man review)

session for our very own Hollywood star, Russell Crowe.' (2001)(Mt. Buller Festival Brochure)
'Dreamcraft, with some of the most original material to come out of the Irish folk scene in the last few years, continue to
amaze as they tour with their exquisite blend of poetic, self penned songs, contemporary folk songs and fiddle tunes.' (2001)
(Manning River Times)
'With it’s emphasis on Gar’s originals and the band’s creative and tasteful arrangements, "Echoes of Ancient Songs" is
undeniably Dreamcraft's best recording yet.” (2000)(Dutch Music Journal)

The discerning listener will recognize the power of Dreamcraft’s original songs' (1999)(Medicine Music)
