“a pearler of an album. Clancy has a strong voice and a musical style
that sits across the divide between alt-country and pop… Looks like
there’s a new Sweetheart of the Rodeo in town.” - Steven Shaw,
www.spareroom.co.nz

“she's just as impressive brooding elegantly through another break-up
or shouting the house down” - Russell Baillie, NZ Herald

“Concert Of The Year” and “New Zealand's answer to Martha Wainwright.
She is destined to go places." - Steve Scott, Waikato Times.

“A rare talent that will knock your socks off Live!!” - Roger Marbeck,
Ode Records.

Ron Sexsmith + Miriam Clancy, Transmission Room
"AN IMPRESSIVE OFFERING FROM TWO FINELY MATCHED SINGER-SONGWRITERS
...really is something special, so is Miriam Clancy, the Auckland-based
singer-songwriter getting some deserved attention for her independent
debut Lucky One who opened the night with an impressive acoustic set
which nicely dialled back the rockier numbers from the album and simply
enchanted on the bittersweet ballads." - Russell Baillie, NZ Herald

"beautifully beguiling, bares to the bones... An album to lose and find
yourself in" ***** Mike Alexander, Sunday Star Times
