‘ Honest, dry and charmingly musical… Succeeds in evocatively crafting a whole village. ’
‘ An accomplished Fringe debut…illuminating and enjoyable. There’s a pleasing bite behind the melodies… Blacker, with guitar on his knee, is a natural raconteur. ’
‘ A relaxed, amusing hour, and a tribute to the silences, solitudes and self-preoccupations of rural life… Blacker’s songs confirm him as a man for tricksy rhymes and a pleasingly mournful middle-aged scepticism (think Jacques Brel meets Tom Lehrer). ’

Reviews of SOMETIMES YOUR FACE DON’T FIT ‘ There’s the witty and sporadically vulgar views of Jake Thackray, the comedic commentary of Richard Digance and now ‘Sometimes Your Face Don’t Fit’ from Terence Blacker … you’re going to love it. ’
‘ Hilariously entertaining. ’
‘ A great night. Our audience loved your songs. ’
