*****
“Gilchrist rejects the declamatory style of delivery currently fashionable...adopting instead a more subtle, understated and - in the long run - more moving approach...he makes a believably vulnerable journeyman...Tilbrook again proves an inspired, imaginative collaborator and the Potton Hall recording is superb.”
January 2012
“Gilchrist and Tilbrook deliver some of the more expansive songs very well...Gilchrist's voice is admirably suited to gentle, lyrical singing.”
