"Den aarhusiansk baserede trio Tradish har gennem 10 år draget omkring med deres afbalancerede blanding af irsk vokal- og instrumentalmusik og er nu på markedet med denne deres tredje cd ... Besætningen er engelske John Pilkington (sang, guitar, bouzouki, harmonium), Louise Vangsgaard (violin, bratsch, sang) og Brian Woetmann (bodhrán, percussion, mandolin, sang) ... Den instrumentale bredde tillader de nødvendige arrangementsmæssige variationer, som trioen på udmærket vis har anvendt i sin musikalske indpakning. Repertoiret veksler mellem traditionelle og selvkomponerede sange og instrumentalstykker. Der er ikke tale om en revolutionerende fornyelse af den irske musik, men om en velspillet og velsunget videreførelse af velkendte former ... 'Handmade Tales' er et udmærket udspil, som fortjener at blive hørt".

"Based in Denmark but with roots in traditional Irish music, Manchesterborn John Pilkington (...), with Danes Louise Ring Vangsgaard (...) and Brian Woetmann (...) celebrate ten years as a trio (they'd all previously been involved with Danish roots group Moving Cloud) with only their third release. Confident and enjoyable, if less than thrilling, Handmade Tales finds them also embracing music from Greenland with their version of 'Nuilersup Qilaap Seequinersuata', which has become a feature of their concert repertoire. They also based the tune 'Teasing Kelvin' on the step-dancing of Gunilla Odsbøll, a winner of the European Irish Stepdance Championship whose percussive dancing has added a bracing new element to the live Tradish sound in the three years since their Roots and Shoots collection".
