'Hi Sophie,

Sam Sweeney here, from Kerfuffle. I am just writing to you to say thank you so much for the review on Spiral Earth. Some reviews are nice, but sometimes you get the distinct impression that the writer doesn't have much clue about the material they are reviewing! Yours, on the other hand, is by far the best written review we have had thus far and I would just like to thank you for actually taking time to listen to the CD and write such a great piece on it. I also see you play the fiddle - if our paths cross at any time, we must have a tune or three!
Thanks once again - your work is much appreciated! If you ever want to come and see us, do make yourself known!

Best wishes,
Sam Sweeney'

''I really love the article! You've been very nice about me for one thing, but also I think your style of writing is really refreshing for a piece about a folky, kinda to the point but still painting a picture. So many folk writers seem to try to stamp who they are onto each piece of writing to the extent that it always becomes about the folk scene as a whole, but yours is really neat but still descriptive.' - Bella Hardy

'Sophie does regular magic with violins for Air Cav and words for High Voltage. If one or the other of these things ceased, Manchester music would be considerably worse off. That won't happen though - we wouldn't let it' - High Voltage

'Brilliant, well written.. reviews.. how refreshing! - Tom Rose, Navigator Records
