"A precise, poetic lyricist with real depth, tremendous sense of place and a strong hint of darkness; a singer with a unique voice which sounds full of conviction and absolutely convincing."   Tom Morton

"His writing sits confidently in a contemporary roots-pop vein . . . Strong melodies and memorable choruses . . . unafraid to tackle big subjects."  Sue Wilson, The Scotsman
