"What we get to hear is something of the current state of Irish traditional flute playing, in its international context, from widely recorded commercial virtuosos, to talented enthusiasts, many of whom were invited to record specifically for Wooden Flute Obsession, and may or may not ever record again.

The era of the 78-rpm disc captured a brief moment in the history of Irish traditional music utilising the cutting edge technology of its time. The Wooden Flute Obsession series opens a similar window for us almost 100 years later." - Hammy Hamilton, 2004 (flute maker, player, & ethnomusicologist)
