"I think I’m in love… It was said about Fred and Ginger: 'she gave him sex and he gave her class'". Well, Kate Dimbleby has both already, and it's a killer combination." - The Scotsman

"Exhilarating new entertainment, a cocktail of blues, jazz, country, singer-songwriter pop and the sort of earthy, post-feminist humour that makes the Desperate Housewives look like members of the Salvation Army. Dimbleby is an assured and charismatic vocalist who can make the leap from a full-decibel tribute to Bessie Smith to an intimate confessional from the Dory Previn songbook.” - The Times
