"Ms Lawrence has the potential to be a fresh breeze sweeping through a stale form." Julian Owen, Bristol Venue Magazine
“Very special... an organic songstress able to grab an unsuspecting crowd in the palm of her hand with only an acoustic guitar as her accomplice. Highly proficient on the guitar, she was able to strum out laid-back acoustics as well quickening the pace and delivering songs packed with punches. Liz Lawrence is a fountain of potential. In a generation of sameness and tribute acts, she could truly illuminate the folk genre. Look out for this one." Paul O'Donnell, The White Board Project.
