09.06.20 'Stepping Up' single review - 'Its rhythmic amble alone is pure manipulation, Thomas’ vocals quickly revealing the same thick temptation with their frisky dexterity. Loaded with sneaky hooks and flirtatious melodies, Stepping Up continued to direct body and imagination being most physically persuasive in a chorus of pure musical virulence.'

06.09.19 'Well Well' album review - Rock at Night - ' Beneath the layer of the music, which is both uplifting and pleasing to the ear, lies the lyrics, which take on political undertones and criticism of today’s self-absorbed “millennial” world. But like most of Thomas’ works, the meaning of each song lies in the listener’s personal  interpretation, as each stirs emotion and deeper thought.'

04.04.19 Live review supporting Mark Morris (The Bluetones) - The Mild Mannered Army -  '...they are passionate and honest songs that are delivered with a certain little charm, a twinkle in the eye and a fire in the heart.  Songs from the latest of nights on the most maudlin of streets for sure but thanks to his passion and talent Thomas never allows them to become bleak.'
