“Rig the Jig is one of the most exciting new bands I have heard in my nearly 15 years as a Celtic music radio programmer. All of its members are exceptional players, and with three singers capable of being soloists with any other band, Rig the Jig is to the forefront of the current new wave of Irish musical groups. Here you have one of the most entertaining groups on the planet. Considering their impeccable choice of both instrumental and vocal pieces, you can put Rig the Jig in a class by itself."
