"The Pitts, (Tom Pitts) proved to be far from it. Banging on his guitar as if it were a drum kit, and encouraging the crowd into a stamping/shouting along routine, his lyrics of sweaty genitalia brought smiles and cheers from the crowd. His brand of genre defying, self depreciating musicianship was a breath of fresh air."
Melanie Banks, falmusic.co.uk

"It's hard not to take the bait in Tom Pitts' opening statement – "Hello, I'm The Pitts" - especially when his first number sounds like a male Kate Nash with terminal screaming PMT, followed by an appalling cover of Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?", which, like the rest of his set, attempts to be ramshackle and twee, but just comes off as unadulterated tosh."
Laura Snapes

"St Ives based virtuoso Tom Pitts, aka 'The Pitts' is one of the most astounding musicians in cornwall right now. Fusing his percussive Flamenco style with whimsical lyrics and an innocent charm, The Pitts' songs are interesting, exciting and pioneering in equal measures. Like a Spanish Newton Faulkner busking Jamie T songs, Pitts' modern sound and incredible dexterity and musical ability give us a local star to shout about throughout 2008."
