Notes & Reviews:

In 1999 Chandos released an album featuring 'Music from the Novels of Louis de Bernieres' to great acclaim, and it launched the ingenious partnership of the mandolin player Alison Stephens and guitarist Craig Ogden. They have been performing together nationally and internationally ever since and this new disc celebrates their decade-long musical partnership.

BBC Music Magazine
The mandolin's plectrum-crisp metallic honey topping blends surprisingly smoothly with the fruitier, creamier, liquid sound of nails-and-flesh guitar nylon and wound metal. Especially when played with such poise, vitality, and seamless understanding by two brilliant performers.

Gramophone Magazine
Souvenirs is a seriously fun disc: fun because of the festive nature of much of the music and of the obvious musical chemistry between Ogden and Stephens; serious because of the outstanding artistry and technical proficiency displayed by the two artists.
