"I've
just experienced my first Mundy-Turner house concert as a host. What
does that mean? The energy, the vibe & the joy; it was captivating
beyond words. You get to embrace the magic between this very devoted,
very humble couple, the songs they write together, the story behind the
songs, the joy in performing their music together. It just takes
your breath away. This is a musical journey that everyone has the
opportunity to share with others in their very own home. Would I
do it again? Yes! Like Tomorrow!"
Bev
Anti, House Concert Host, Samsonvale, Australia
"I
love your song Unfinished Business becasue it's about when the government
didn't pay the people and it is a really fabulous song. I love the
chorus a lot and I always sing it. It was a really excellent evening
- I got to stay up late and I had a reason to stay up late. It was
a superior night because the music was fantastic. I love Mundy-Turner!!!!!"
Scarlett
Parkes, Aged 8, House Concert Audience member, Australia
"How
rapt was I to see your names on the Port Fairy program this year?!
I first came across you guys at Port Fairy a few years ago and was totally
knocked for a six. I will never forget the shivers down my spine
as Cath told the Little Birds story in that huge white tent. You
could have heard a pin drop.... I have been wearing out my Mundy-Turner
cds ever since. Can't wait - I'll be the adoring fan in the front
row."
Fan,
Port Fairy Folk Festival, Australia
"I've
taken my mum to see three gigs this year - Queen, Status Quo & Mundy-Turner."

"Anyone
who saw Mundy-Turner perform at Cropredy Festival in the summer will be
aware of how powerful they have become. If they are still touring by the
time you read this, don't miss them."
Folk
On Tap Magazine, UK: Mundy-Turner at Cropredy Festival, 2002
"Just
a note to say that we thought you did a great job compering Cropredy this
year. I loved hearing you both sing between acts. Jay - we
listening to all of 'The Garway Years' on our journey home, we were blown
away by it and I relished the chance to get re-acquainted with some of
the songs I remember from all those years ago! They are truly inspiring
albums and I shall be plugging them relentlessly to all and sundry."
Fan,
Cropredy Festival, UK, 2004
"Mundy
-Turner use infectious humour, adept playing & wit to spread a wecoming
feeling...indeed, Mundy-Turner are what live music is all about.
They soothe the soul & massage our singing muscles with colourful imagery
of faraway people & places"

NewsLeader, Vancouver Is., Canada,2003
"Mundy-Turner
is a duo that's not afraid to mix emotion and topicality and present folk
music in a manner that can reach beyond the folk scene to any audience."

"Keep
up the great gigs; timeless music, inspirational words and the voice of
an angel!"

"We
had the pleasure of first seeing and hearing you at Port Fairy Folk Festival
& were blown away with your music. We picked up program for the
Brunswick Music Festival at Port Fairy to discover that you were again
appearing there. What a different venue and a much more intimate
experience, a most enjoyable evening. What fantastic talents you
both are and please continue to make beautiful music for a long time."
Fans,
Brunswick Music Festival, Australia, 2006
"Their
quality and levels were so full, one may have otherwise thought that there
was more than just these two making their sound...superbly achieved."
Rave
Magazine, Brisbane: Mundy-Turner supporting The Corrs at Brisbane Entertainment
Centre, 1997
"Mesmerising
sensitivity, voices to die for. Powerful, yet unpretentious - Mundy-Turner's
headline concert supporting Rolf Harris was nothing short of brilliant..."
Sue
Torres, Director, Stroud Festival of Performing Arts, 1999
"Mundy-Turner
breezed in like a breath of fresh air and took the Jersey audiences by
storm. We only book one act from each year's line-up to return for
the next festival. Mundy-Turner were the popular and obvious choice."
Gerry
Jackson, Director, Jersey Festival of World Music, 1998
"What
a cracking evening at the Bluebell. Thank you so very much for all
the pleasure you give people with your consummate professionalism, beautiful
lyrics (we both had lumps in our throats and tears in our eyes during The
Quivering, Little Birds & My Grandfather's Eyes), wonderfully soaring
melodies, the dynamics of which leaves one totally lost in admiration."
Fans,
UK, 2005
"Mundy-Turner
mesmerised the crowd... Their music is clearly from the soul - moving,
romantic, uplifting and playful."
Linda
Crossley, Owner, Village Hearth and Terrace, Calgary, Canada, 2001
"Mundy-Turner
were an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT!!!
Their
contagious lyrics and hum-along melodies, impeccable instrumentation and
vocals were as refreshing as a tall glass of ice tea on a hot summer day.
In over a decade of concert promotion, we have not witnessed performers
who have captivated their audience so quickly and so completely - the Mundy-Turner
"buzz" still echoes through our concert series many months (and performers)
later....we can't wait to see them again in Canada!!!"
The
Moaning Summit Concert Series, Calgary, Canada, 2001
"A
real *gem* of a show. Mundy-Turner are something special. Inventive
arrangements, close harmony, and a good variety of tempii and styles...
The music is refreshingly different - some numbers are dark, others uptempo;
some romantic, others overtly political; and many are underscored with
an infectious pop sensibilty. If you get a chance to see them play,
grab it!!!
Netrhythms,
UK, 2001
"Thank
you for making some of the most uplifting music I've ever encountered."

Letter
"...With
Jay Turner on guitars and Catherine Mundy on violin and piano, you're looking
to see who else is helping to make such a beautiful noise..."

"Wow!
What a fantastic concert we had last night. Our audience loved Cath
& Jay...they are both consummate performers and musicians and combine
together so well in tone, dynamics, and textural quality. One minute
they were hard-hitting and powerful, the next - soft and sweet like honey..."
