Press commentary:

"Fine playing, good strong songs and superb arrangements: Nua is a new group to be reckoned with, and I hope their music will travel far and wide."
- Alex Monaghan, Irish Music Magazine

There is an honesty and integrity to the latest musical offering from Nua. These precious tunes and songs are approached with a sensitivity and understanding of the tradition, while laced with fiery arrangements and an obvious passion. The band has arrived at its own unique sound, something all musicians strive to achieve. Head full of Dreams should be a part of every music lover's collection.
- Niamh Dunne (Beoga)

Press commentary:

"For a debut album there is a freshness and maturity that captures the imagination. Both Sides reveals all sides of the talent exhibited and Nua certainly deliver." - Irish Music Magazine

"Irish music has an amazing energy and feeling to it, for both the players and listener. You don't need to be very musical to know what I'm talking about. You hear it straight away. And this is sometimes very hard to capture in a studio. But from the songs to each and every single tune, this recording has that feeling right true. There are four great musicians on this record that compliment each other so well. This is what makes a great band. Nua give off this amazing spark that we all love to hear in irish music. Enjoy this record, because I certainly have." - Alan Doherty (Gráda)
