"Absolutely brilliant...the most exquisite voice". BBC Radio Oxford
"Great, great tunes". Johnny Coppin, BBC Radio Gloucester
"A really rather lovely record". Bristol Uncovered, BBC Radio Bristol
"An audacious little debut this, from an audacious little frontwoman. 4 Stars" Venue Magazine
"I received this CD a couple of weeks ago and since then it has not left the player. The reason for this I think is originality. I haven't heard anything like this before. Unusual time signatures, amazing vocals, skilful playing and highly original songs. For musical competence and originality this get a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED award". bristolrocks.co.uk
