quotes
A selection of quotes from various reviews which have been and can be used for promotional material.
“...shades of Jacques Brel and David Bowie in his
early glorious prime... Philip Jeays is a real find,
just the sort of discovery you're always hoping to
make and rarely do.“
DAILY TELEGRAPH
“...only once in a decade do you see a songwriter with
such a unique jaundiced line.“
GUARDIAN
“...a singer songwriter whose darkly comic songs, with
Sondheimesque tongue-twisting lyrics, have projected
him to semi-cult status.“
LONDON EVENING STANDARD
“Songs delivered with a sometimes frightening
intensity and an often gleeful amount of bile.“
FINANCIAL TIMES
“Quite simply, 'October' is the sort of album which
will be rediscovered in ten years time and treated
with the same respect as the likes of Nick Drake.“
GOLDMINE (USA)
“A fresh fearless young singer songwriter whose
artistic potential is scary...vulnerable, vitriolic
and cruelly observant... Jeays in full, unforgiving
flight is some sight.“
HERALD (GLASGOW)
“...superbly crafted songs, written with a poetic
sensibility that is imbued with bitter irony and
mordant wit... Jeays is unique on the contemporary
British music scene.“
MORNING STAR
“...tightly constructed songs which are by turn funny,
touching, bitter and sad... Jeays doesn't just sing
his songs - he acts them out.“
TATLER
“He is, without doubt, the best songwriter in the
country.“
NEWBURY WEEKLY NEWS
“The finest new songwriter I’ve heard for 10 years.“
