Reviews :
“This is a fascinating musical concept, based on actual people and events that occurred in our colonial history. You won’t believe your ears – or the incredible stories contained herein. Rogues, rebels and folk heroes, and a truly valuable exercise, bringing all this history together in music”, NZ Musician Magazine Musically,
“Chris has written some beautiful melodies and he has a wonderful, simple, direct singing style. He has surrounded himself with some of Auckland’s finest players.The end result is the most entertaining New Zealand history lesson you’re likely to encounter this (or any) year”, Marty Duda, The 13th Floor
