BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson has described Tinderbox’s music as “Gorgeous”. R2 Magazine’s Dai Jeffries branded the music “Outstanding…refreshingly natural” and Folkwords columnist Tim Carroll commended the “…highly accomplished musicianship; with a deliciously pure voice and a lush embroidery of strings”.
Tinderbox’s latest album All Grown Up has received stunning reviews across the UK with Maverick Magazine lauding it “…a strong candidate for album of the year” and FolkWords hailing it “…a five-star album. No question”.
