Mike Mendoza Show, TalkSport Radio, (26/1/06). Strange Folk's song, "Candles", was reviewed by Mike Mendoza and David Courtney: "...well structured... , ...good dynamics... , ...well thought-out rhythm..., ...haunting...".

Dave Chislett, reviewer, publicist & music journalist:"...if I had a voice like Annalise Spurr, I would also insist on bringing back the style [Folk Rock]. Man this girl has got a pair of lungs! This is a powerful song [Hidden]... Stirring stuff. The band sounds tight..."

Central Somerset Gazette: "Strange Folk produced one of the stand-out performances. The lead singer had the best voice of any of the heats so far, and the musicianship was flawless. Their Fleetwood Mac style sound looks set for big things."

Lemonrock review (Jan 07): "Starting off like a world famous Fairport Convention hit, or an early 1970s Renaissance masterpiece, this vibrant song reveals feelings of a personal discovery, carried along with confidence by a clean acoustic rhythmic groove and oodles of excellent vocal harmony. It's not unfair to compare Annalise's voice and phrasing to that of Renaissance's own Annie Haslam... lovely."

Various member reviews from Lemon Rock:

"Strange Folk - what can I say? A fantastic band to watch and listen too. Very original and in a class of their own! A must see!"

"Another top quality night from Strange Folk! These guys (and girl) rock!"

"I was advised to go and see Strange Folk, and it was the best piece of advice I've had for some time.
Let It Burn': what a number that is. Original, powerful and truely emotive.
Their stage presence is strong. Talented and confident. They must crack it. The CDs were purchased and played all the way home. I want more."

"Another top notch performance from this talented band."

"A night of marvellous musical melodica. Always entertaining, always get your feet tapping, always leave you humming one of their tunes on the way home. Awesome."

"They blew the other bands away tonight - They are in a different league! They gotta get signed."
