flax in bloom played two concerts at Skagen Festival, June 2002. Lars Nilsson of greenmanreview.com saw the band on both occasions and wrote:
 
"Then came my really big discovery og the weekend, Flax in Bloom, Four rather young (to me anyway, but I´m soon leaving my 40s) musicians from Copenhagen. They play pure Irish music, with no rock intentions at all, just plain folk music as it has been performed for centuries. But they do it ever so well. Their two front instrumentalists, Tim Goddard (flute and whistle) and Ditte Fromseier Mortensen (fiddle), produce slip jigs, reels and mazurkas quite effortlessly, backed by very talented guitarist Rasmus Zeeberg and Sussie B Nielsen on bodhran -- and they sing as well. Goddard is the soloist on a few songs, but though he does it very well, it was the voice of Nielsen that melted my heart. Her renditions of "I Wish" and various Gaelic songs were quite breathtaking; she had a voice to fall in love with. According to their web page there is talk of an album somewhere in the not too distant future, something to wait for in anticipation."
 
"In the afternoon we went out to the Meeting Place once more to check my impression of Flax in Bloom. I was convinced it was right. They are a lovely outfit. And second time around I realised how crucial the guitar is to their sound."
