quotes

"some of the finest acoustic music England has produced in years" (Venue Magazine)

"exceptionally talented singer/ songwriter who has a brilliant stage presentation and a wonderful way of presenting his often offbeat material." (Venue Magazine)

"music at the cutting edge with incisive lyrics and generous proportions of good vibe" (Bath Chronicle)

"One of the best new names the city has to offer" (The Big Issue)

"probably the most distinctive duo on the Bristol roots scene at the moment… high energy fun songs, packed with passion, power and politics" (Synergy Magazine - on Steve Hughes and Liz Tedbury).

"…some of the region's best talent" (Gig of the week, Bristol Evening Post - on Steve Hughes and Liz Tedbury)

"A highly original act from one of the most entertaining performers the region has to offer" (Venue Magazine)

"Steve….is very much his own man and should go on to gain recognition as one of the great young British songwriters" (Venue Magazine)

"Steve Hughes surely has to be one of the brightest roots musicians currently working in the UK. A songwriter who finds beauty, mystery and romance in everyday situations and works these themes into powerful songs of love and political fervour. These are songs to lift people, empower, inspire and enrich, high in energy, hard hitting. Highly recommended, especially for anarchists with rulebooks, pacifists at war with politicians and dreamers dealing with reality. This is world roots music from a performer with a difference, an impassioned player of the heart, soul, body and mind. A menagerie of influences shows hints of Billy Bragg and Rory McLeod, the rhythms of Brazil and Spain and the poetry of Woody Guthrie." (The Prom Music Guide)
