CD review from the Scotsman newspaper Gaelic column of 15th October 2005:

Bliadhna as déidh dhaibh tighinn còmhla tha còmhlan ùr Gàidhlig á Dùn Éideann, Sgorrabreac, air a' chiad chlàr aca a thoirt a-mach. Tha dusan òran Gàidhlig ri chluinntinn air Eadar Muir is Tìr bho air feadh na Gaidhealtachd. Tha Michel Byrne 'na eòlaiche air bàrdachd Deòrsa mhic Iain Deòrsa, agus seo cothrom dha aonan dhiubh a sheinn, gu sèimh, réidh.

Se Mairead NicNeacail ás an Eilean Sgitheanach a tha gabhail a' mhórchuid de na h-òrain. Tha e soilleir g'eil e a' còrdadh rithe a bhith seinn... Tha an dithist aca math fhéin a' gabhail Mòrag Bheag - òran beag aotram mu Mhòrag Bheag aotram. Agus tha Orna Gilchrist 's a stoidhle fìdhlearachd ghlan Éireannach a' cur crìoch air an lorg le port sunndach a tha a h-uile biod cho aotram ris an òran (Catriona Black of the Scotsman)
