“Local artist and talented violin player Maizy Coombes … has been a fixture in local folk bands with her violin since a teenager and now has branched out as a solo performer. Let me say that what Maizy achieved on stage was stunning: plucking her violin. Whispers are added; melodies, harmony and backing vocals are on the money and within five minutes this orchestra of melody and countermelody had me. Wonderful songs.and she is incredibly talented. ” - Edwin Garland
“"Maizy ... boasts stunning violin and sweet, countrified vocals in the vein of Emmy-Lou Harris or Iris DeMent. [She] certainly has the songs for a sublime long-player."” - Edwin Garland
