'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

‘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.
