From audiences:

* "The music is great, just wonderful. We've been sitting back here listening all night. It took me back to my younger days (in Scotland)." - Nostalic patron, Vauxhall, AB.

* "We couldn't sit still with the lively, uplifting, toe-tapping, spirit-lifting music. It seemed the energy in the room ascended to a level of gaiety that lasted the entire night. Thanks for such a fun time and great atmosphere." - Karla Millar-Nixon.

* "Listening to Glencoulee is a social event, like one of those great house parties where you end up singing and dancing in the living room - except with these guys the music is way better because they're real musicians." - Julie Deimert

* "These three talented musicians serve up succulent Celtic fare to satisfy every musical palate, from the silly to the sublime. First-rate fun!" - Rita Peterson.

* " The music is upbeat, lively, toe tapping." - Gwen Hastings.

* "Whenever I listen to Glencoulee's music, especially live, it brings a smile to my face because I know how much they enjoy what they do and they do it so well. I especially love Danny Boy. Put that one on your next CD." - Nancy B.

* "Glencoulee is a very entertaining, enthusiastic, talented group of musicians whose enjoyment of Celtic music is as obvious as that displayed by the foot-tapping, hand-clapping, singing-along, appreciative audience." - Debra Montgomery.

* I listen to the Glencoulee band every chance I can on my way to (work) and back - just AWESOME!" - Marian Kuhl.

* "Finally, a fun musical sound that isn't dominated by a heavy rock beat - for us upper middle-agers." - Veryl T.

* "I have had the pleasure of listening to Glencoulee on a number of occasions. They possess a unique upbeat sound that transports the listener into the heart of their songs through their mastery of voice, and their expertise on a range of musical instruments. Of equal appeal to me is the harmonious and authentic camaraderie shared by the musicians themselves. It is, at once, abundantly clear that they enjoy what they are doing, and it translates into a dynamic quality that talent alone could not accomplish. Having witnessed the rousing applause from a room of enthusiastic listeners, I clearly am not alone in this perception of the Glencoulee band. They are a visual and audio delight from beginning to end. These boys are good and worth every effort it would take to witness their performance. Lethbridge should be proud to count these musicians among their own." - Carolyn Sutton.
