“Etherial…if you get a chance to play Davy Cartwright’s album ‘Brittle’ you might feel a spiritual spaceform around you. There is something in his music that speaks more than it says” (Xan Phillips, Showcaseuk.tv)

“Brittle is now one of my favourite albums” (Paddy Noonan, Founder, Radio Free USA)

"some [of the songs] are very good indeed"   'Taplas' Magazine (Folk in Wales & the Borders)

"bedsitty"  'Buzz' Magazine

"...an earnest acoustic record with a distinctive vocal and a classic feel. It's a late sixties record at heart, but it stays listenable thanks to some good twists and turns" (www.the-mag.me.uk)


"Really love it....." Angela & Matt Whittaker (www.hippymotors.co.uk)


"Mainly laid back folk, with a blues element....” 'The Ledge', Friends of Fairport.
