Music Therapy / Special Needs, March 2008
" ... children are first and foremost children, so by nature they will pick something up with a passion, and with equal passion walk away, dismiss it and in some cases destroy it ... you are after all providing music as a support service to a life-plan directed by health care and welfare professionals, so they will, you hope, ultimately see positive results in your work."

Acto Guitar September 2005
"It’s through live performance, helped by a good dose of confidence and desire, that I now share some of my most personal experiences with my audiences as a songwriter. Not all; there are some things I remain very uncomfortable with, and I need to keep those to myself, at least for the time being."

Bang Fanzine (Haigh Hall Music Festival special edition) June 2003
"If anything, it's a song that has changed the perception of those who have seen me play over the years. I am now seen as a political songwriter, even a "militant" as one writer in a Manchester magazine suggested. How someone expressing anti-war sentiments can be described as a militant is beyond me, but it shows how the opinions of the fashion police have been allowed to suppress human emotion and compassion, without so much as a "what the f*ck?" from people reading it.

Designer Magazine 2000
"Taking original songs into dog-rough jukebox drinking dens and coming out with real respect from real people is cutting edge success in my book ... There's a stigma attached to poetic lyrics and intricate musicianship that needs to be challenged"
