This is a very strong set of original and varied performances and features some of Jo’s most accomplished work so far.

Another fab release from Jo that throws in a few surprises, as always great lyrics, fine vocals and musicianship and, for me, her finest album yet.

A real mix of excellent work and, put simply, her best work yet’.

Jo Ash accompanied by Mike Wheatley are a natural combination. Jo’s songs, musical accompaniment and outstanding vocal are a joy to listen to. She is a prolific songwriter and her choice of subject are both varied and highly entertaining. When you add the counterpoint of Mike’s guitar work you have a winning combination.

A superb evening of compelling and mesmeric music from this very talented performer.
Singer-songwriter Jo Ash’s debut demands that we take notice. Jo’s balladry is unapologetically dramatic with swooping vocals perfectly suited to her gothic tales.

Jo Ash was just wonderful … playing amazing songs with charm, passion and verve….
I was simply mesmerised.
