"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."
