"Instrumentally, the band packs
quite a powerful punch...Further more in Sandy Brechin, the
Jimi Hendrix of the box, they have a leader with star quality.
They clearly have the capacity to follow Wolfstone and Capercaillie
into concert halls."
Inverness Courier

Their unusual and imaginative fusion
of electric Scottish ceilidh, pop and modern dance rhythms
is extremely effective-played with skill and brio, it's good
to listen to and great bopping music to boot. Deeper is that
"difficult" third album, and probably their best
yet.
Folk Roots

"Burach are among the groups in the forefront of an extraordinary
revival in the folk music of the British Isles, fuelled by
a combination of deep knowledge and appreciation of tradition
and a youthful rock and roll sensibility.That
accordion virtuoso and frontman Sandy Brechin also plays with
The Sensational Jim Shandrix Experience gives a good indication
of the musical territory the group occupies.
The evening's only vocal cover tune was a version of Richard
Thomson's 'Vincent Black Lightning 1952' on which the band
put its own highly individual stamp.
The empathy between the accordion and fiddle was complete.
Brechin and Borland played with and off each other with a
tightness that can only be achieved by years of live performance
experience. The music was faithful to tradition but extended
it rather than focusing on the slavish recreation of old arrangements
as they might once have been played. The message is that this
is modern music - it just happens to have been around for
a while."
