"Never in my life have I seen a guitar used in such a way. Mark holds a whole new torch to the singer songwriter genre."
Manchester Evening News
"Displaying lightning fingers, the use of his acoustic guitar as a multi-faceted percussion instrument would have been merely impressive; considering the simultaneous, blisteringly quick fretwork, it was astounding."
High Voltage
"He does literally seem to become one with his instrument and the result is a veritable storm of frantic blues and incessant beats. When this guy plays it's like he possessed, there's nothing else quite like himout there."

Troy Faid - www.myspace.com/troyfaid
"bristling with leashed passionate blues and folk from a young cat on fire with a slightly understated vocal and instrumental ferocity that loses nothing for its refinements, whether tempered or momentarily pyrotechnic... streetwise, philosophical, bittersweet in tone and content"
- AcousticMusic.com
"Stunning guitarist and songwriter"
- Tom Robinson - BBC 6Music
"Anyone with an ear for earthy, passionately executed singer-songwriter folk & acoustic blues, ranging from Drake to Jansch, Benjamin Wetherill to Charlie Parr should cock an ear towards this prodigious young talent!"
- NormanRecords.com
"On the cinema stage his introverted presence changes dramatically once his guitar begins to ring out around the room, and through every intricately detailed song his mannerisms became more relaxed. It's rare to enjoy somebody's performance as equally as the songs they play, but it's also rare to see somebody play so intently merely because they enjoy doing it so much"
