Irish Music Magazine writes "In Beoga, the Irish music world found another prodigy... madcap genius, master craftsmen." Their distinctive sound is described by New York's Irish Echo as "a heady, virtually head-spinning sonic blend, stamping Beoga as perhaps the most audacious Irish band rooted in trad today." The Irish American News lauds the "energy, drive, intelligent creativity, wit and real musicianship" declaring, "this is the freshest take on the tradition," and the Boston Globe ranks Beoga "as innovative as Celtic music mavericks Solas and Lunasa," There 2009 album ‘The Incident' was shortlisted for a GRAMMY award nomination for 2010 in the Best Contemporary World Music Album category.
