"Your music was just right for the occasion” the late Rt Hon. Tony Benn, BBC Publications party, The Reform Club
"Thanks for your beautiful music” Dr Veronica Sekules, author and academic, book launch at Castle Acre, Nofolk
“What fun it was! We heard a succession of gentle love songs, comic and bawdy ballads, courtly and folksy dances oh! so deftly woven together. Quite masterly: what preparation must have gone on to put all these elements together in such a satisfying way? They are more than skilled and certainly multi-skilled musicians, able to move with never a hitch, from instrument to instrument, sometimes even from voice to instrument and back again in just one short piece.” Boston Concert Club
