    I went to the Sibelius Hall concert with positive, cheerful expectations. I came out completely amazed!. - And I had with me my mother and my auntie, both ladies in their seventies, both as overwhelmingly satisfied. Ukulele-Finlandia is something one does not hear very often. You certainly took this audience. Thank you, boys and girls!

    The comedy of this performance is undermined by the quality of it. The harmonies are too awesome for the satire to come through.
