"Josienne Clarke and Ben Walker were ably supported by Bernard Hoskin, top quality singer/songwriter. Bernard treated us to a selection of his classic folksongs. All were delivered with consummate ease yet also with an unwavering passion and resolve as if it were their first public unveiling. His finger picking happily reminded me of some favourite guitarists who were playing in those crowded smoky clubs in the early 70s. His personal style of guitar work coupled with his friendly stage presence and lyrically engaging songs all made for an absorbing start to the evening. Winter coat was a memorable, simple yet moving song - expertly sung; I also particularly enjoyed the song about 21 Swans at Wicken Fen – which was atmospheric and evocative."
Dave Bartlett, Milkmaid Folk Club, 7 June 2013

"The lingering taste & perhaps the last thing to strike the listener is the sheer quality of the songs which, like the album as a whole, are memorable, highly accomplished & carefully crafted yet achieve an effortless feel."
NETRHYTHMS, review of Notes in the Margin

"Notes In The Margin follows his fine tradition of crafting accessible, mellow acoustic folk with occasionally well-placed African pop flavours. It's reminiscent of the work of Ralph McTell, Paul Heaton, Johnny Clegg and the later work of Paul Simon."
ROCK n REEL, 2007

"a popular troubadour with an accomplished and individual guitar style, well constructed songs, good stage presence and ambition"
MARDLES MAGAZINE

"Bernard Hoskin once again proved what an accomplished singer songwriter he is. His  performance was so relaxed and classy. I think a lot of folk clubs should be interested in Bernard performing at their clubs. "
MILKMAID FOLK CLUB, Bury St Edmunds

"The key point here is that Bernard Hoskin does nothing that you could call crowd pleasing, he does what pleases him and he does it well. By doing it well he ultimately makes an album that's very satisfying and probably pleases far more people. Now that's smart."
