"Darren's songs are heartfelt with poignant lyrics, and a beautiful sensitive touch. We really enjoy it when he appears on the same stage as us." - Andy Powell, Wishbone Ash
"On this, a rare visit to Leeds, it is easy to see why he is acknowledged as one of the best in the business by fellow musicians and fans alike. With a stage presence that puts you at ease, to the point where you feel Darren has been your best mate for years, this was a gig you didn..t want to finish ... With songs that explore and analyse all aspects of human life and behaviour, Darren is in a class of his own and Leeds can only hope for a very quick return." - Paul Abraham, Yorkshire Music Promotions
"I am very impressed by his approach to music ... all his words are brilliant as far as I'm concerned ... what an unusual delivery and how effective. Excellent!" - Frank Hennessy, Celtic Heartbeat, BBC Radio Wales
"Where Darren Poyzer appears, unusual things happen and people enjoy themselves ... natural acoustic sound with trademark warmth, firmness and tenderness from his guitar and seemingly effortless projection of the distinctive voice that shares those same qualities ... Darren Poyzer had once again produced an evening that mattered" - John Hepworth, Leeds Music Scene
"... a truly uplifting set that managed to reduce the wall-to-wall, packed out Green Room to an almost religious silence ... his brutally honest, yet delicately delivered narrative transfixed even the most macho of grown men in the room ... equally though, Poyzer possesses a fighting spirit rarely found and his punky edge, combined with a sharp sense of humour, had the audience clapping along to the more upbeat songs. With backing from the very talented Kirk McElhinney, Darren Poyzer captivated the diverse audience that had piled into the venue and left everyone shouting out for more. Many of the crowd had probably never heard of Darren Poyzer before tonights gig. Now they would never forget him." - Vicky Andrews, St Helens Star
"Darren Poyzer - we think he's great" - House Of Harper, Nick Harper Fan Club
