Sarah Strick Reviews;
"The eight stories are highly entertaining, easy and fun to read." Cornishman March 2008

JAN STONE Reviews;
"Randle Hurley's CD is a must for all Newlyn Buccas... The portrait of his hero, which Randle ... draws in sound, voices and music, is as affectionate as it is amusing. All in all, a proper job" Cornishman, 15th September 2005
"A charming, professionally produced, set of two CDs containing some of the legendary moments of Jan Stone's life...The accents are authentic and the dialect is delivered correctly." Western Morning News, June 2005

"Bliss" Steve Hall, Golowan Festival Director, Penzance, June 2005
