Comments about Tinkerscuss:

“…It’s like having a story book sung to you just before being tucked up on a dark winter’s night.”

“…stepping between worlds within their songs; Tinkerscuss take you along with them on their magical journey”

“Honeyed Venom”

“..both comforting and disturbing in turn, beautifully sweet melodies delivering sometimes chilling tales”

Album reviews:

“ Of Darkwoods and Bright Fires is sheer delight...The perfect album to listen to in a cottage amid a dark wood, cosied up to a bright fire. ”

“Delicate, powerful beauty. ‘Mythago’; from Tinkerscuss is a rare, rich treasure of story and myth delivered with refined atmosphere and edge. Mythago encompasses depth, power and force delicately applied. Just a touch is all that's needed to reach out and enthral the listener. There is within this album a mix of love, fear, darkness and light that carries a dreadful beauty. An album of passionate music.”
