Below are a selection of published quotes for Sue Hedges from well known news papers, magazines and journalists who have had the pleasure of hearing her.
Not many new acts of UK origin have been able to grab my attention in such a manner as Liverpool’s Susan Hedges….who not only posses a set of warm spirited vocals but also writes with neatly fashioned shows of heartfelt emotions that are simultaneously entertaining.

She is an artist blessed with considerable talent….Hedges echoes the traditions of British Folk legends Fairport Convention and current American Country Rock stars….Potential rarely sounds so clear.

Susan is equally at home with ballads & upbeat songs
Classic Rock Society Magazine
A huge talent, both as a singer & musician, but also as an extremely strong songwriter. The talent has increased & her brand new CD is full of amazing performances, mostly in what you might call pop, blues or soul idioms.
BCMA Bulletin
The production is great throughout, …. she nails each song & style. Diversity, range & ability will ensure a lot of fans, plenty of work & thrilling gigs & albums like this one
Soundchecks Magazine
‘Given Hedges’ ability to create songs so rich in a sense of time & place, it’s no wonder that her work has been acclaimed by American folk balladeer Tom Russell & that Nanci Griffiths has been heard playing Hedges’s CD on her tour bus. She has been invited to sing with both singers and the experience of working with Nanci was a particularly good one
Excerpt from a 3 page feature in Keyboard Magazine
What this girl has can’t be taught. She is natural and deserves to make it, big style
Rock n’ Reel
The remarkable Susan Hedges is one of Britain’s most promising songwriters….where her strength lies is in the songs. Everone a cracking tune, all displaying a lyrical maturity and understanding of presentational dynamics…a more than promising debut.
Traditional Music Maker
Susan Hedges surely has one of the most distinctive voices on Merseyside. That voice, one that can soar as high as an angel with a helium addiction or as deep and powerful as if able to hold its own in a bar brawl and come out as the last one standing in a cage fight, unbloodied, unbowed and unrepentant, is one of the reasons that Ms. Hedges is always in demand and quite rightly so…. To turn down a chance to see Ms. Hedges perform in her home town you would have to be mad.
