“He is a man for whom the notion of borders means very little, a genius whose music is without frontiers, and whose originality makes him one of the most innovative artists in the varied musical genres of today.” - Oliver Sweeney, Hot Press

“The categories of “World” and “New Age” music did not exist when O'Breskey began his trailblazing journey yet he was the first to combine Flamenco, Basque, Arabic, Latin and Irish elements, his virtuoso jazz-styled piano uniting these traditions in remarkably original compositions.” – Fiona Ritchie, The Curious Listener’s Guide to Celtic Music, National Public Radio USA

“Breskey's unique approach [...] the playing is superb and his style successfully combines Irish traditional and blues styles” – Harry Long, The Walton’s Guide to Irish Music
