“Pop from a parallel dimension- the one where all the dark matter went- great melodies and sardonic asides from that Hitchcock of the chewed biro, Mr Lawrie Duckworth, and one of the most adept set of musicians in the west. Quality written through the middle like Brighton rock.”

“Lawrie Duckworth has made a great name for himself with his band and as a solo performer. His songs have a great balance of heartfelt beauty and bleak humour. If Bill Hicks wrote songs then they might sound like this…”

“Lovely contradiction of sing-a-long songs and inventive instrumentation”
