"...audible magic woven with voice, fiddle & guitar... Rise Aurora  is an impressive debut album by this young songwriter who has risen through the folk circuit to become a BBC Young Folk Awards finalist. This album shows startling originality... smooth & infectious fiddle lines, forcing the listeners to tap their feet... a perfect balance between delicate singing and driving fiddle playing... An entertaining and thoroughly engaging release, Rise Aurora is definitely a successful first album for Rosie..."

"Her material is timeless, though often personal... there is an unforced simplicity to this album with gently plucked guitar and fiddle that is sometimes light, sometimes a deep bass growl... a calm and serene offering of modern-day folk."
"...an intimate collection of heartfelt songs..." – Bright Young Folk
"Rise Aurora is an absolute gem of an album and I will probably not be the first reviewer to say you will want to listen to it over and over again... There is a very long and bright future dawning." – folking.com

"...beautiful, inventive songs overlaid with delicate harmonies..." – Lewes Folk Club
"Rosie & Rowan are at the forefront of the modern folk scene individually; together they form a powerful partnership that will surely accelerate their rise to the top. Songs crafted of the highest quality, sensitively delivered with haunting harmonies and a cheeky smile!" – Heard And Seen
"...we were treated to both traditional and original material presented in the highest quality. If you have yet to see Rosie then be advised, you are missing a real treat!" – Watford Folk Club
"What a sheer pleasure this was to listen to... great singing and some truly great song writing - as for the two part harmony, absolutely stunning! Cant stop playing it!" – Dave Webber
"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
