Quotes about Julie:

• "Fans of anyone from Bert Jansch to Joni Mitchell will find shades of what they like here. The swift, tight finger picking that entwines with the dark tones and emotional edge of her voice invite comparisons like these, but it seems unfair when you think what other special, and highly individual, qualities are at work here.”

• "Don't tell anyone, but I put your CD on, was reading the sleeve notes and the second track started - and from the first few notes, I was crying like a child. It's playing again now as I write - same effect. Wow. That's a killer of a song.”
