"Having caught Donna's gig at Brighton Live, I was very impressed by the compelling performance and her unassuming persona. The band were superb too."

"Donna Fullman at her quietist is Martha Wainwright without balls, owing to her higher sense of lyricism. Her simple yet eloquent melodies swoop low over steel-strung chords in an unpretentious manner affecting those around her to stop and listen. So stop and listen."
Bed Springs Music Promotions

"When Fullman dons her blues coat for 'The Brave Favours The Sea' you can hear that there is something further down in her soul, crying to get out, much like Jim Morrison would have been before breaking into his less temperamental and more r&b type tracks from L.A. Woman. That's a road Fullman probably wont take - but with an alto voice that might be ready for it, we can only cross our fingers and hope...."
