    "Utilising an assortment of instruments, from ukeleles to clarinets to glockenspiels, The Cedar are a quaint, intelligible group with a beautiful ear for melody. " .. Scott Johnson, www.egigs.co.uk, The Thekla, Bristol, 29th January, 2007.. ‘Ambidextrous arrangements, great dynamic swoops, familial banter and a veritable Womad of instruments,, the lasting impression is one of a quite wonderful and sumptuous performance.’ The Fly Magazine .. "Twinkling beauty, like the happy resolution of gently opening a music box...A band blossoming into something rather special". Venue Magazine Bandstand Stage Glastonbury 2008 .. " ... an involving experience, but then we have come to expect nothing less from The Cedar." .. Keith Clark Evening Post 3rd July 2006 Keynsham Music Festival... "The Cedar's gangly charismatic frontman had a winning way with the audience and hit another high note with a stripped down duet with the keyboardist, Eleanor Murphy. Nice Ukelele" .. Venue Magazine Ashton Court Festival 22nd July 2006..
