"Ange Takats has some interesting stories to tell but the hook is that soulful voice she tells them with. There's real grit and passion there" - The Courier Mail

  "Takats' exceptional voice is fine, smooth and almost effortless as it slips from her lips... her storytelling is laced with honesty and grace" - Tsunami Magazine
