“An impressive local duo featuring the highly talented vocalist Elly Hoyt and the beautiful guitarist Jamie Clark.”
– The Australian

“From the moment I first heard Elly sing, I knew she had that classic, indefinable thing that makes one a jazz singer. It’s not just a sound, or a choice of notes but a way of ap-proaching a song that lets the listener know – this is the real thing.”
– James Morrison
