Other Press Comments:
Balances
a quintessential Englishness with blues and gospel

Mark’s
great strength as a songwriter is his wonderful ability to describe a scene
in such a way that you can easily feel yourself there in the pub with him and
his mates
Dave
Emery - The Folk Mag
When it comes to updating the history of the English folk revival, the chapter on Mark T will make interesting reading. He must be regarded as a key figure in its development.
Keith Hudson – TAPLAS
Mark T lays claim to an unusual eclectic pedigree but, whether because of or
in spite of, emerges
as an original voice.
Tony Rose – The Guardian
I think that the word I need is eclectic. But then again, it could be electric.
Or even eccentric. Tell you what, perm any two from three and you could fit
them comfortably around a description of what is, on the surface, a folk record
of lifting beauty but which, once under the skin, scratches spots which you
never knew existed. Enthralling; that was it!
Ricky Kildare – Sounds
Give him an Oscar or better still give him a listen!
