Some audience reviews:
“Bandersnatch encapsulated quite simply the very best of all the
ingredients that promote this kind of music. Their performance was
professionally entertaining yet wonderfully warm.”
(Peter Hardman, review in Folk North West)
“They turned in a wonderful performance of songs old and new… we'll be
having these guys back.”
(Anthony John Clarke)
“The arrangements were great and the singing was fantastic; they all
seem to have voices strong enough to take lead vocals and the harmonies
were spot on.”
(Gavin
Robertson, Bacup Folk Club)
“A repertory that's rich in diversity; this is a band at its creative
peak. Loved 'em. Quite simply, they hit the spot.” (Clive Pownceby, The Bothy Folk Club)
