"combining folk sentiments with punk and blues. ali blends the sensitivity of ben harper with the legendary quality of johnny cash. his voice is one you'll love and your mum will love; it'll make you itch, glaze over with stupidity, and draw you to tears like they are attached to every guitar string. His songs resonate of pleasure and pain, a heartache that’s warming and a smile from one to another on the street. They are simply soulful full of male drama and climax. The simplicity of lo-fi guitar and vocals is like watching a man on his struggle to touch the most beautiful light in the world that just keeps slipping from reach, captivating and eloquent."

"...unique blend of somnambulist folk, guttural blues and comedic ramblings. with an unpredictable voice that lies somewhere between tom waits and mickey mouse, funny beautiful and quirky music."

Ali, just wanted to say thank you for your EP...i'm back in France and am listening to it from the desk of a deserted reception with rain pattering gently outside; it all fits very well. Was fun meeting you in Nottingham and maybe see you back there for more gigs sometime soon! Jess.
hello there. I was just going to message you. It was wonderful meeting you, I felt like I was saying goodbye to an old old friend after the tennis shennanigens. We will definitely be back in Nottingham some time soon. Until then keep on piping....xxx Martha
I have no clue what you are referring to, the only use of the word "Qualude" on my page is from a reviewer who used that as a reference to style and sound of Modest Mouse.
Thanks for dropping in, as odd as it happened to be.
