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.​

An excellent collection, full of light, shade, musical commitment and strong song-writing.

A superb evening of compelling and mesmeric music from this very talented performer.
A very clever and well thought out set of 2 EPs.

An absolute stunner from start to finish.
Andrew Lock, 'Sounds and Visions', on EP ‘Here, Then & Somewhere Else’, 2021
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.
