"A basketfull of stars to the composers and players for the colossal concert they all turned out at Wednesday night’s Plug Festival event.  The composers’ inspiration was exactly matched by performance from the five wizards of Pure Brass ensemble... Michael Tumelty – The Herald 2010"

"This quintet is beyond doubt the most thoughtful brass group to have emerged from the academy in recent years. Their concerts are an education, with informed but informal introductions to each piece, and they have a fascinatingly eclectic repertoire, including fine original arrangements by trumpeter Tom Poulson. Seith and his cohorts are certainly ones to watch... Keith Bruce – The Herald 2010"
