Quotes
“I am very impressed by The Carrivick Sisters, one of the best young duos I’ve heard.
The girls sing and play as one and their work is characterised by great musicality.
They are not only very talented instrumentalists and singers but they write really good songs as well.”
- Ralph McTell
“A superbly talented pair o’ lasses”
- Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
“ …their already formidable multi-instrumental skills and songwriting maturing at such a steep curve they’ll soon be orbiting
far beyond anyone else.”
- Q Magazine ****
”Carrivick Sisters are pick of the crop.”
- The Telegraph
“Somewhere in Kentucky, there’s a duo singing folk songs in a Devon accent. It’s part of a celestial vocal exchange program,
as that would be the only logical reason that The Carrivick Sisters keep turning in album after album of bluegrass blood harmonies to
die for.”
- FATEA Magazine
“They are at their best singing together, but the way they play all of the bluegrass instruments is almost frightening.
Their fiddle, mandolin and vocal work on their song ‘Now I know’ is almost too hot for comfort.
So young, so much talent”
- John Atkin, Froots Nov 2011
“Demonstrating rare instrumental and vocal superiority that puts their colleagues to shame… this is one duo which is going places.”
- Maverick Magazine *****
“Is there anything these young ladies can't do?”
- Folk & Acoustic Music
