Testimonials

  • “It was a beautiful meeting of East and West.” “I am speechless right now. It made me feel so happy and emotional. The audience were mesmerised. Epic!”

    Soundbath, audience member

  • “I think it's absolutely beautiful! I love the pastoral beauty of the arrangements and the honest lyrics. It reminded me of Everything But The Girl/Goldfrapp.”

    Possibilities, Rumer

  • “It's a very CLASSIC album, crafted. A massively accomplished, beautiful record. You’ve also given it heart.”

    Possibilities, Mike Embley, BBC news presenter

  • “I love your voice, it touched me. The whole album touches me and goes right into me. You have the music in your soul, like the soul of a poet. I hear albums all the time and this one is spectacular.”

    Possibilities, Stephen J. Kalinich, Beach Boys lyricist and poet

  • “A truly brilliant and uplifting song. I only heard it once, and I’m still singing it in my head every day, weeks after the Albert Hall.”

  • “Please share with Laura how impressive this is! We've spent the weekend listening to her recordings and they are absolutely brilliant. I bow down to her talent and energy for the students! Massive thanks."

  • "With a mix of fine tunes, comically underwhelming asides and light oddness, this was light and still very clever radio. We could do with more half-hour programmes that don't rush to tidy closure, and leave us only with a handful of entertaining tatters."

  • “Wow...I cannot begin to tell you how amazing the show is – probably for all sorts of different reasons – I sat and I cannot tell you the emotions that flowed through me – listening to both Dad and Mum – a pleasure that not everybody gets after the passing of parents – but equally it’s immensely emotional...thank you for putting such a lovely and emotionally sensitive programme together.”

  • “Robbie [Williams] could easily have presented himself as a deranged pop star with too much time and money on his hands, slowly unravelling among fellow sci-fi freaks in the desert, but he doesn’t. He answers Ronson’s gently-put-but-aimed-at-the-heart-of-the-matter questions with trademark humour and a surprising depth of integrity and intelligence.”

  • “Everything was put beautifully in its proper perspective, even to the programme's wonderful conclusion, with those haunting, ascending notes on the guitar.”

  • “I thought that the programme on Rodrigo was radio at its absolute best.”

  • "I was aware that I was meant to feel somehow blessed to hear this, but I didn't. With my headphones heavy with prejudice I sat back and listened, only to be startled out of complacent disdain by the electrifying brilliance of this recording. It's no grovelling paean to Presley, and Bono's surprisingly sharp appraisal of the man's life is made truly remarkable by producer/sound engineer Chris O'Shaughnessy's inspired layering of effects, clips and archive recordings."

  • "Ronson is brilliant at exposing the slippery closeness of normality and lunacy in his subjects. And thus in us all."

    Jon Ronson On... (Radio 4), Miranda Sawyer, The Guardian

  • “Radio has a way of slipping you into someone else's skin. It's why people stay in their cars on driveways, waiting for plays to end. It's why something we hear in a documentary can suddenly make us comprehend how it is to live another life. Life With Henry and Freddie was one of those programmes…. Laura Druce who produced this documentary made Henry and Freddie's story an extraordinary testimony to the power of human love and hope, the very things we tend to forget as the daily news rains down on us.”

    Life With Henry and Freddie (Radio 4), Gillian Reynolds, The Daily Telegraph

  • “This programme puts Glastonbury's mud problems into perspective. At the start of this fascinating documentary on a new music festival in Bangalore called NH7 Weekender, the presenter and DJ Bobby Friction appears to be shouting over white noise. A mistuned microphone on stage perhaps? No. He is standing in 'what I think is a monsoon or is this a hurricane even?' Friction interviews the irrepressible Vijay Nair who founded the festival, and to who to raise the finances 'mortgaged my house. And when I say my house, I mean my father's house.'”

    Bangalore's New Beat (World Service), Catherine Nixey, The Times

  • “The previous two episodes in this terrific documentary series were about the famous almost setting out to destroy their fame; this one, the tale of Suede's 1994 second album Dog Man Star, is sadly the other way around. Butler's regret at throwing away their lightning-strike creative chemistry for want of a proper man-to-man chat about personal issues is palpable.”
