The QP Festival and CD Reviews 2009:

R2 CD review " This is a joyous, life-affirming album. The QP could go far... a terrific debut record that most folk fans would thoroughly enjoy. "

fRoots CD review "Lots of good ideas here, heaps of rhythmic trickery, bags of oomph and crossing of ethnic styles. You can see the potential, go for it..."

The Living Tradition CD review " ... the sheer verve, energy and commitment that leaps out of the band members in performance, and their tremendous sense of presence comes across even on CD."

SpiralEarth festival review "The QP: A stunning blend of folk, jazz, funk, rock and blues" SpiralEarth CD review " ...the jubilant sound captured here on their debut album: It's folk without a safety net and it suits them."

Maverick festival review "... are an extremely talented young group who could soon be festival headliners." Maverick CD review " Great young folk group who are destined for the top. "

Moving Tone festival review "The QP were a great discovery"

The QP Quotes:

“The QP are a young but very professional outfit, I have booked them for Warwick twice and they went down a storm. This could be their year, so book them while they are still available." Dick Dixon, Warwick Folk Festival

"Forget the “X-Factor”, try the “QP-Factor”. This band rocks!" Keith Donnelly

"The QP gave a fantastic performance. For many in the audience, seeing these talented young musicians in action was a new experience and by the end of the set the QP had them in the palms of their hands. While the English summer rain pounded down outside the marquee, we were enjoying a fantastic party of lively folk-rock and klezmer and some beautiful singing. Definitely a must-see, must-hear band." Pete Willow, Organiser Godiva Festival Folk Concert 2008

"I was very impressed by your music. You have a fantastic commitment and attitude to it. It was quite infectious. You have a great raw talent and I am SO looking forward to having you on the big stage at Spratton." Mark Osbourne, Spratton Folk Festival

"There were hundreds of them - they filled the studio wall to wall and made a damn good noise. I’d book them before they get famous." Genevieve Tudor, BBC Radio Shropshire

"Talented! Young! Good Looking! Bastards!!" Harvey Andrews

"There’s a real buzz about this lot. An English Folk/Rock/Jazz/Funk band with the balls to match any. They played a packed house at Warwick last year. Book them but be careful who you follow them with!" Andrew Sharpe, Steamchicken

"This is a most impressive debut album and I'm sure the band is stunning on stage. They have great energy and an innovative approach to their arrangements." Bruce Cameron 'Come All Ye', community radio 2MCE-FM in Bathurst, NSW, Australia. Presenter of Australia’s longest running folk / acoustic / roots program.
