'The one and only Skinner & T'witch...a pair of comic geniuses'. David Chamberlain, Acoustic Routes, Dapper FM/Blues and Roots Radio

‘This is a highly amusing and entertaining CD. Variously comic, satirical or observational, the 11 tracks are well sung with great timing, diction and clarity. Each has a distinctive, strong voice...Skinner & T’witch have been described as “a pair of comic geniuses” and I would not disagree - they are unique: there is nobody to compare them with. The arrangements...are all brilliantly executed...Unlike many self-published CDs these days, this is a well-engineered, well-balanced and well-mastered offering. I would recommend this CD to everybody who wants to be entertained, especially with humorous and incisive observations on the trials and peculiarities of modern life!’ Tom Brown, The Living Tradition

Skinner & T'witch...'are world experts at writing comedy songs'. Brian Player, Acoustic Cafe, Wey Valley Radio and Blues and Roots Radio

'A gem of a release'. Stevie Connor, Blues and Roots Radio

'It's a fantastic album, and I love it!' Tony Haynes, FAB Folk & Blues and Midweek Midnight Mayhem, Tempo FM

‘A cracking new album...I haven’t just listened to it once a day this week, I’ve listened to it twice. Entertainment throughout’. Neil Vessey, The Folk Pilot, Deal Radio

‘Recreates the magic of a night at the music hall - Skinner and T’witch have given me a good chuckle with this album. T’witch’s vocals are particularly good.’ James Fagan, Thank Goodness It’s Folk, Sheffield Live

'Very funny, very clever songs'. Larry Hoyt, Common Threads, WAER-FM (88.3 Syracuse)

‘Their latest cracker of satire, comedy, and incisive observation...very enjoyable’. Len Holton, From Albion and Beyond, KUAR

'Everyone's Grotty is an album full of humorous & satirical songs about the celebrity lifestyle, the banking crisis, undertakers & fast food.. plus lots more. Every track cleverly written and sung as only Skinner & T'witch can...The hardest job for me is choosing which songs to play on this month’s shows!!' Daz in the Hat, The Afternoon Stretch, and Hat Tracks, Mixcloud

‘Absolutely wonderful...They're always tongue in cheek, but with a message...one of my favourites.’ Jock Hossack, Jock’s Celtic Calamity, Blues and Roots Radio

‘Everybody’s Grotty...an album full of hilarious songs’. Steve Yarwood, The Invisible Folk Club

‘There’s something for everyone in Skinner & T’witch’s new album...we love to support their music’. Russell Hill, Country Music Show, Express FM

'It's a tongue in cheek album. It puts a smile on your face'. Steve Luff, Thursdays Jukebox Black Cat Radio

'An album that takes a pleasingly playful poke at politics, pomposity and personal peccadillos.' Mike Davies, Fatea Magazine.
