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’.
Michael Pipe (Music Promoter) on album ‘One Way Mirror’, 2026
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.
Bill Tarran, The Acoustic Club, Bishop's Stortford, 2024
An excellent collection, full of light, shade, musical commitment and strong song-writing.
Cambridge Music Reviews on ‘Growing, Flying, Falling’, 2023
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.
The Musician, Musician’s Union, on ‘Constellations’, 2019
Jo Ash was just wonderful … playing amazing songs with charm, passion and verve….
I was simply mesmerised.
