"One of the nicest, sexiest and downright talented singer/songwriters to have come out of the West Country in years. A unique voice and unique writing combine into an intriguing package of enchantment."

From the first note the audience was mesmerised. Stand out songs were Unexpected Stranger, which should come with a health warning for being so catchy, and Radio Free South West listeners' favourite Magpies Wish. Siobhan demonstrated her mastery of songcraft with echos of such greats as Joni Mitchell and Laura Nyro.
Radio RFSW
''...beautiful and powerful vocals crying out folk in the classic tradition of bards immemorial. Whether a historical tragedy, a recent broken heart, or lovers' anticipated embrace, the emotion flows, inundates, and recedes like a tempestuous river whose irresistible force carries you along for the ride leaving you breathless and travelled at the fertile conclusion.''
