Solo Reviews:
The lead vocal has a beauty and plaintiveness, which is very rare. The music has a fragile timelessness that soars to the point of excitement.
(Geoff Davies).
.... .unusual......amazing.....like a mantra. (BBC Radio Merseyside)
....the warm and intense voice floats smoothly over the exquisite song writing, giving an independent and unique character to modern folk....
