As part of my work for Popsiculture, I've reviewed the album, interviewed Jennie and produced gig reports from her live appearances at Didsbury's The Sanctuary bar.
Jennie says...
"Bob is very wonderful with words.
"But as a singer/pianist and artist I can tell you that he is not only this.
"When someone chooses to write about a creative artist in any genre it is very important that they feel understood.
"Bob is very aware of this and is, indeed, so empathetic that he is almost able to reach inside a person's head, organise their thoughts and construct them something near poetry on a page. Many times I have read his articles on my music and thought, 'Yes, that's exactly how I feel!'
"I have been the lucky recipient/subject of many musical reviews by Bob and I know that many people who read them have not managed to make my actual performances. However, he conveys the atmosphere and emotion of my gigs with such enthusiasm, vibrancy and personal detail that they might almost have been there themselves.
"I believe it is because of the care with which he writes, and also the passion, that I have sold many albums retrospectively.
"Thank you Bob!"
