Kim Burton (thanks Kim)

some quotes;
I still do not believe that their from Australia. The vocals are just to authentic and the musicians seem to know what their doing. The best Balkan cd from outside the Balkan I can think of! Eelco Schilder

" I heard some of your music on triple j a while back, and I think I need it to live." Tim

"I like your interpretation of Romani song Ushti, Ushti Baba and I am happy to inform you that I have putted your song like example under the link Songs and Lyrics at my website www.galbeno.co.yu . To be honest it is very rare , almost never, when I can say it's good interpretation of Romani music if non-Roma band are playing that I mean if band out of Romani "ghetto" playing that." Dusan Ristic
thanks Tim & Dusan
