PRESS Quotes
 ‘Such is Beirne’s skill that she sings these pop favourites as though she were singing Gershwin, Porter or Berlin’ 
Jazz Journal (Derek Ansell)

‘Beirne has a talent for recognizing within these songs the seeds of jazz…the phrasing's and rhythms that can bring out the swing that might not be obvious to many…Engaging, sophisticated… ‘It’s pure jazz.’ 
All About Jazz 4 ****review (Bruce Lindsay)

‘The textures and colours of her voice really shine through giving the album a truthful connection to these former pop songs’ 
London Jazz News (Sarah Chaplin)

 ‘Beirne scats and soars, stretching syllables over slinky sax lines… her vocals are subline’
Jazz in Europe (George Cole)

 ‘Beirne’s vocals often sound like the phrasing of a tenor saxophone. She knows how to hit those notes and get in between the cracks of them like a virtuoso instrumentalist…' 
LA Jazzscene (Doc Wendell)

 ‘A jazz album so different than anything that has been done before’
Grammy Winning Jason Miles
 ‘It’s raw, energetic and her vocal is both sassy and commanding.’Limahl

 ‘I love the jazz version of Noize…Fab Singer!’ Noddy Holder “Slade”

 'I was absolutely thrilled by the way Beirne handles her voice, swinging in a masterly fashion and even in soft passages the voice is perfectly placed. Beirne displaces the beat with finesse, using her voice like an instrument.
