About Me

''Makes Leonard Cohen sound positively convivial and has distant echoes of Jacques Brel at his bleakest. Don't let that put you off though, JBJ can do the business as a writer and the voice is ideally suited to his terrifyingly dystopian images, as in 'Cradle with Baby Decaying' or 'The Songstress of the Brothel'.''
City Life
"not only is it surprising the Mancunian is unsigned for the depth of his Old Testament tales,but because he sings like a grizzled folkie who's been in the business since Sam Phillips.Unusual,too,to hear someone with such a rich, spiteful knowledge of life." Planet Sound.
''Stand-out track is Florence Holland; a modern folk song that, I predict, you will hear being sung around the clubs in years to come.''
Manchester Online
