'What's not to like about Trio Threlfall's treatment of English traditional song? It's not a museum piece in their hands but something which lives and is relevant today. Long may they prosper; they are treasures.'
Wooden Horse Folk Club

'Trio Threlfall opened the (Friday) evening with an exquisite set, their faultless harmonies showing why they are such welcome and frequent visitors to the festival. (Sunday) Sisters Jane and Amanda Threlfall with Roger Edwards again demonstrated their glorious vocal harmonies and flawless musicianship for the fourth time of the weekend. While many of their firmly traditional English songs tell sad and melancholy stories, they are such warm and engaging performers that the overall sensation is simply uplifting, typified by an achingly beautiful rendition of The Blacksmith.'
Cheltenham Folk Festival

'What Trio Threlfall brought was the kind of magic that comes when connections are made. It came from the way Amanda spoke between songs, with wit and spontaneity. It came too from the interaction of the three - between songs as well as during, and also from the banter between performers and audience. It came from many directions and in the songs it all came together, as something both tangible and magical.
This was a night about commonality - betrayal, loss, madness, grief, venereal disease, love gone wrong, women done wrong by men - the stuff of folk songs, of course, but the stuff of Jeremy Kyle also. It was all there.'

		CD.Reviews Sweet Nightingale Revisited Gown of Green Morning Tempest Gown of Green WBCD 002 (now deleted) Absolutely terrific! I loved their last album . . . English folk performers who've got something else to give their music . . . kicking it along. I think it's great! Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2 (CD launch and interview with Jane & Amanda from Sidmouth Festival) Sisters Jane and Amanda communicate so very well their love of and respect for the English folk tradition in which they are steeped. The excellent recording allows for full appreciation of the sisters' vibrant sibling harmonies, which admirably complement their solid unison work, and brings out every nuance of the well-considered instrumental accompaniments. Absolutely top-class, make no mistake, and an essential acquisition. David Kidman, The Living Tradition The warmth of their harmonies and their delicate accompaniments make (these songs) entirely their own. Their voices throughout are uncluttered and spot on. There's quite a few pastoral idylls here, but it's to everyone's credit that these never come anywhere near being cloying. English traditional songs, sung and played by people who really know how to treat them right. What more could you ask? Nick Beale, fROOTS Sweet Nightingale Revisited Gown of Green Morning Tempest
