| 30 July 02 | "An amazing songwriter fighting for the cause against the karaoke, the tribute acts, the DJs, the bile of Saturday night 'fun' acts. He is the anti-pop, the working class hero, the great pretender, an amazing talent. Nothing more can be said. Buy this album and see the light." - Bang Yer 'Ead 'Ere Fanzine, August 2002 ... read the FULL REVIEW > here < |

review of recent Ring'o'Bells Widnes gig with Jamie Parkes on violin
- "the forceful demand for an encore brought Jamie and his fiddle
back to join him in 'From The Beaches of Ibiza to the Shores of Vietnam'

dedicated to that event, but his was by far the best" |

| 21 September | Reviews (full review @ www.acoustica.tv) | "For
the second time during the evening the audience called for an encore.
After the sonic intensity of "Brand New Rock'n'Roll", we were treated
to the emotional intensity of '11.9.01' (prov title); a new song written
in the wake of the New York atrocities and, in my option, destined to
be seen as one of Mr Poyzer's finest songwriting moments" |

Darren at Independence Festival of Disabled People in Leeds... he was
stunning, sang so sweetly.. spent most of his set with my jaw on the
ground!" - AGICRIP, Manchester (posted to dp
