Reviews
“Funny, profound, educational, our children have talked about everything from gravity to grieving thanks to Nick Cope’s songs. Our family’s favourite singer-songwriter.”
Lucy Porter
“... In the pantheon of British songwriters he’s become the Ray Davies for the pre-teen generation…If you’re going to trust your child’s musical education to anyone, make it Nick Cope.”
Steve Lamacq BBC Radio 6 Music
“Nick Cope is the indie-surrealist kids' entertainer Robyn Hitchcock and Syd Barrett, foolishly distracted by cult status, never were.”
Stewart Lee
“Charming musical fun for children and parents alike from a musician with real song writing pedigree.”
