"Rosie has a most engaging stage presence and her assured vocal style has had reviewers swooning: “pure yet sultry... smooth and evocative” (Artree); “mellifluous” (The Arts Desk); “mesmerising” (Newbury Festival) ...she has an eclectic mix of songs from the traditional repertoire to which she brings a refreshingly contemporary sensibility. As a composer she has those essential hallmarks of originality: the ability to surprise with inventive turns of phrase and finely nuanced melodies, as evidenced in her warmly praised debut EP, Somewhere North." – Stuart Reed, Brighton Acoustic Club
