"Of course, the two banjos are the main focus throughout, but the addition of a high-end band, some singing and cracking guest appearances really adds to the sound and makes Banjophonics something special. A hugely satisfying experience, this music has energy, emotion and a huge heart and is a rich and rewarding piece of work that is very difficult not to love".

"It's high octane stuff. With their first album Banjophony, they set up the partnership, felt their way, and established a communication. On Banjophonics, the empathy is telepathic and the sparks fly ... Can't wait for the next album to make up a banjo trilogy - the music is sure to be just as spectacular but just wondering what they're going to call it ...".

"This delightfully bold 13-track collection builds on the growing connectivity [these two] musicians have found, brilliantly fusing their Irish tenor banjo and five-string bluegrass banjo styles alongside guests including mandolin star Sierra Hull, double bassist Barry Bales and percussionist Jay Bellerose from the US. A guest from considerably closer to O'Kane's home is Kate Rusby on, yes, 'backing' vocals, as this isn't totally a tunes album, offering two songs where O'Kane and Block showcase their contrasting voices".
