“Seeing Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig transported me right back to moments from the time of making the album, in a way I had not expected. Teac Damsa’s interpretation of our work brings to life all the joy, fun, sadness and divilment of what was an an extraordinary adventure for us as a band, and I thoroughly recommend going to see it.”- Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill

” Those lucky enough to witness Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig will have permanent, blissful memories of fluid movement that is intense, stylish, eloquent, unpredictable, athletic and skilfully choreographed. This is transcendental dancing to a masterful and transformational soundtrack, amounting to a combination that is sublime”. Diarmaid Ferriter

“I was so taken by this show when I had the good fortune to see a preview in West Kerry, I wrote a poem to Michael Keegan-Dolan and company the minute I came home. I was simply moved. The thought of the remote spot, this amalgamation of creative spirit and choreography, descended on an old factory space I would have passed so many times, now brimming with something fresh and inspiring. This is the craft of movement and memory, bodies and minds, energy and the sublime. An excellent show. ‘ Dairena Ní Chinnéide
(Dairena Ní Chinnéide is one of Ireland’s greatest Irish language poets)
