‘Anglo-Swedes with a lust for life, incapable of putting a foot - or finger - wrong. Great musicians, great entertainers and full of passion, inspiration, inventiveness and intimacy too. There’s no other band like them and there’s no CD like Du Da. Go get it!’ Fiona Talkington SONGLINES Nov/Dec’05
‘The whole zany, playful, energetic, instrumentally brilliant and, vocally, ever so slightly otherworldy adventure should be sampled at full length and full strength’ Rob Adams THE HERALD 27.8.05
‘infectious … try to catch them if you can’ Dave Beeby THE LIVING TRADITION Sept/Oct’05
'In Du Da, four musicians contribute equally and with intuitive communication in the exquisite balance that makes a band special and after the UK release of its recommended predecessor Mosquito Hunter, it shows signs of being the turning point at which this band's true stature is generally realised.' Andrew Cronshaw fROOTS Nov’05
