Till the Grass O’ergrew the Corn

“Ms Armstrong… sings… with such vitality and feeling that her audience is swept along in the sheer pleasure she seems to find in her songs.”

“Few singers have worked as intensely on ballads as has Frankie . . . Her devotion to these songs is matched by her interpretative abilities and laser-beam voice. Outstanding.”

“Take 12 murders, 11 unwanted pregnancies, 5 ghosts, 4 incestuous relationships, a miscarriage and a couple of Kings. Stir well with a couple of talking birds, a talking horse, some torn yellow hair, a little pen knife and a bottomless boat. Serve in a powerful voice whose owner clearly feels deeply about every twist and turn. YES… Frankie Armstrong… Child ballads… Epic stuff… she paints a series of pictures which, if any one were done with half the effect by a film maker would bring in a string of Oscars.”
