"You could talk about Jane in terms of the Star she has been, the Stars she has collaborated with (Peter Gabriel, KD Lang, Joe Jackson, Brian Eno - the list is endless), or the stars underneath which she walks. For me the most important thing is that in a world increasingly dominated by the X Factor, the mundane, the instant, Jane has always been and continues to be a committed Artist. She experiments, she runs sideways, she abandons, she recreates, she dies and is reborn, she is enigmatic, she is inspired, she is impossible to pin down, she is infuriating, she is suprising, she is uncompromising, she takes magnificent risks, she changes her name, she is spiritual, she is physical, she is dangerous, she is intimidating, she is hilarious, she writes the most awesomely beautiful songs, she has a voice that can sing the angels, she is tranporting . . . . . . she reminds us of how it is to be an Artist (and not a celebrity!). If you do nothing else this year, get yourself along to this intimate salon Concert. If you're a Songwriter, do yourself a favour and get to her afternoon Workshop. Chances like this don't come along every day"

"To go to a Pindrop concert is to set out on an adventure through an ever-changing acoustic landscape of eccentric instruments and songs. This 9-piece Bristol collective cut their own cloth, write their own songs and, more unusually, make many of their own instruments. Expect to hear the “Tinklele” (tin ukulele), “Tinvolin” (tin violin), tin guitar, bizarre percussion, Celtic harp, string bass, dobro, slide guitar, accordion, autoharp and tin whistle, as well as beautiful multilayered harmonies. These are serious musicians, but they never fail to send their audiences home with a smile on their faces and a skip in their step."
