“…there’s some wonderful imagery and narrative in these songs, it’s refreshing to read lyrics that are more poetry than dear diary.”

“ She’s a deep well – she writes her own songs, she runs her own festival and when she sings 'Me & Bobby McGee' you might as well be in the truck with the windscreen wipers clapping time.’
Martin Flanagan, Journalist & Author.

J.D. Souther (USA).

“Ange is 1 part English Rose, 1 part Tasmanian Devil and 1 part gin-soaked Southern Belle”
