"Their songs describe the extremes of nature: the harshness of winter, the snows, the power of the sea, and man's hardship: the fisherman, the miner, the railway worker. I particularly liked the compelling tunes and the frequent repetitions and choruses which characterized most of their songs. All delivered in a strong, driving, upbeat style and sung with conviction, from the heart. A great night's entertainment! I'm sure they'll be back!" --Jane Cross, Cramlington Folk Club, Cramlington, U.K. ". . . the new season kicked off with Steve and Kristi Nebel.
