Review of Folk Pixie Album: "The thing that struck me in reviewing this album is that Eade is not afraid
to challenge herself with unconventional rhythms and lyric delivery. It's as if
her voice is confidently going where she wants it to go, unrestrained by
convention and the mood of the song rises and falls... This is a terrific album.",
FATEA, 2020.
Review of Folk Pixie Album, 3 stars: "That's one hell of a voice that leaps
off this CD at you. Rosie Eade looks young and sweet but looks can be deceptive.
She combines the lyricism of singer-songwriterdom with the attitude of rock'n'roll
on Folk Pixie"
Rock-n-Reel Magasine, rock-n-reel.co.uk, 2020.
Review of Folk Pixie Album: "“Folk Pixie” is something of a back to basics album with little more than a
guitar and good intentions to keep Rosie Eade’s voice company. That said, her
voice lacks neither the conviction nor the authority to make such an album work
with each of these twelve songs delivered with a directness and – I shall say it
again – honesty that makes the simplicity and sentimentality of all that you
hear seem all the more appealing. In a time where the truth is worth less than
a small bag of sugar, Rosie
Eade manages, with her disarming charm and gloriously unaffected voice, to make
the world seem like a valley where you would want to stroll with her in search
of some romantic adventure",
BLUESBUNNY, 2020.
Review of Folk Pixie Album 4 stars: "Une voix, une guitare, c’est tout ce que nous aurons au menu de ce "Folk pixie"
mais Rosie Eade va nous montrer qu’on peut occuper un énorme espace sonore avec
peu de moyens. Lorsque la guitare est nettement affirmée et que la voix l’est
tout autant, on peut jeter aux orties les batteries, basses électriques,
tambourins, glockenspiel, trombones, fifrelins ou autres pianos et Mellotron.
Rosie Eade revient ici à la pureté la plus totale dans la composition de
chansons et elle s’impose simplement et durablement sur ces très belles
compositions originales.",

Review of No Greater Love (off Folk Pixie album): "Rosie Eade shines brightly
with her effervescent acoustic approach"

"An appealing touch of English folk influences ... clear and sonorous",
BLUESBUNNY, 2018.
"Sonically superb"
BUNKFEST, Main Stage 2016.
Review The Fire (off Battlestorm album): "Singer-songwriter Rosie Eade
demonstrates a confident and punchy acoustic rock presence on 'The Fire', a fine
taster for her album Battlestorm."
Rock-n-Reel Magasine, rock-n-reel.co.uk, 2016.
Review of Battlestorm: "The melodies have a more subtle allure, the lyrics deeper meaning, the folk-rock edge
honed and somewhat softened ... the result is an album of substantial depth and equally considerable appeal.
The distinctive Rosie Eade voice remains - recognisable timbre, intriguing phrasing and ability to softly
entice or ‘rock it out’. The band is tight as you like and obviously feeding off each other in arrangement and delivery."
Tim Carroll,
folkwords.com, 2016.
Review of Battlestorm 5 stars: "La maîtrise technique, la pertinence des
compositions, l’art consommé de la création d’ambiances prenantes et la voix
d’exception de sa chanteuse font du Rosie Eade Band un petit joyau de la scène
folk anglaise contemporaine. A découvrir sans modération.",

Review of Village Pump Festival 2015 (White Horse Stage):
"First up were The Rosie Eade band, a group I had not really heard much of prior to the festival
but their set was well received and I will be investigating further on the basis of their performance.
One plus point for me was the inclusion of one of my favourite Who songs, Behind Blue Eyes."

"Our favourite folk pixie returns to the club. Rosie is a talented singer/ songwriter, confidently performing either as a solo artist or with her band."
Bradford on Avon Folk Club, 2015.
"The Rosie Eade Band opens up [Wimborne Folk Festival] on Saturday morning, offering a classic blend
of Folk Rock. It seems a shame that they are to open, as they are one of the more
professional acts to take to the stage ... Happily Rosie and co do also close
the stage, with the last set on Sunday evening. Definitely worth a watch",
Yack Magasine, 2014.

"now I have 'The Fire' playing in my head! I really like your music, it reminds
me of when I was 17 and had started going to festivals and such meaningful folk
music was the soundtrack to my free-spirited festival summers!"
Waterfront, Exeter, 2014.
"Sprightly and pleasing blend of contemporary singer-songwriter and folk stylings."
Rock-n-Reel, 2013.
"She is one of the loveliest new voices on the folk and acoustic music scene
with a wealth of life inspired original material as well as carefully chosen
traditional songs accompanied by her own tight guitar arrangements. We’ve loved
her when she first performed a short open mic spot at The Pump, having travelled
up here from her Devon home, and we booked her on the strength of that performance.
Her subsequent guest spot at the club did not disappoint and we are delighted to
welcome her back again.",

Review No Fairytale: "quite heavy 'rock-folk' instrumentation from an impressive line-up of guest musicians. For the most part
the accompaniments, though not always sympathetic, do add interest and quite dramatic atmosphere to the songs."
Colin Andrews, What's Afoot, No. 102, 2013.
"‘No Fairytale’ from Rosie Eade - multiple facets of folk rock (June 27, 2012)"
"If the debut album ‘No Fairytale’ from Rosie Eade doesn’t find a place in folk
rock fame then something is sadly wrong. There is enough presence and power in
this album to raise the dead."
Tim Carroll,
folkwords.com, 2012.
"No Fairytale is ROSIE EADE's solo debut and it lives up to its title.
Rosie has a strong characterful voice and mixes her own songs with traditional material.
She's been around with Cambridgeshire band Hedgepig for a while and her experience tells.
She deserves to be better known.",
Rock-n-Reel, 2012..
REVIEW IMAGE
"She has a fantastic voice, great range and inflection. Couple that with some
lovely nylon strung guitar parts which you realise cover a lot of moods/genres
quickly and you realise Rosie is no one-trick pony. The opening track Seagull
Eye View (also available as a single) is one of the highlights along with Tiddy
Mun, Cinderella Sticks the Knife In (!) and Venice"
Guitars and Life blog, 2012.
"A wonderful counterpoint to Rosie, they [Rosie Eade and Davey Malone] combine their performances to great effect."
Bradninch Folk Club, 2012.
"Next up was Rosie who was highly impressive again. I like her voice a lot,
great power in it not just in terms of physical singing power but also in terms
of the emotion she conjures. Rosie's set ranges from traditional folk through
her own material and some unexpected covers but last night was a concentration
on her own stuff. She also is able to conjure a number of different tones from
her nylon strung six string. At one point almost punky thrashing was the order of the day."
Guitars and Life blog, 2012.
"Rosie has a characteristic and beautiful voice appreciated by many in
Bradninch and elsewhere in the many festivals and other places she
performs."
Mid Devon Star, 2012.
"So to the find of the day... Rosie Eade who describes herself as a Folk Pixie.
She was brilliant, despite being on an open stage in a increasingly damp and drizzly conditions
... she was stunning. Beautiful voice, great songs with a wide range of influences
including even a Who cover towards the back of her set...
So impressed was I that Mrs F and I are planning to see her again in June when she next returns to Medway"
Guitars and Life blog, 2012.
"A huge favourite of ours, Rosie mixes powerful trad covers with her own evocative
songs; she's punchy, lively and touching ... playing tracks from her brilliant
new album, No Fairytale",
Burnham-On-Sea Folk Festival, 2012.
"a young lady who is definitely going places, ROSIE EADE.",
Village Pump Folk Club (Newsletter), 2012,
"Rosie Eade is one of the loveliest new voices on the folk and acoustic music
scene ... We loved her when she first performed a short open mic spot at The Pump,
having travelled up here from her Devon home, and we know you will too.",

"L'ajout de la belle voix feminine de Rosie Eade participe de cette richesse
instrumentale, depouillee certes, mais bien reelle, ainsi qu'en temoignent
Rapunzel ou Once upon a time", (Grimm, by Paul Roland)

"thanx so much for the CD I really like"
Sonke - Sound man from the Bimble Inn, Beautiful Days 2011.
"Rosie Eade, one of the finest new voices on the acoustic scene",
Burnham-On-Sea Folk Festival, 2010.
"Exeter-based pixie Rosie was trained in classical and jazz but now deals in trad folk and her own fine songs. Her strong, beautiful voice reminds us of Celia Humphris from Trees. Yes, she's that good."
Burnham-On-Sea Folk Festival, 2009.
“Rosie and her trusty nylon strung guitar have been ... attracting quite the following". "Her voice, that of a young Kate Bush tempered with the measured tones of Stevie Nicks". "Rosie's own songs, ... alongside traditional folk song favourites, are infused with a sense of urgency. A balance of powerful yearning and personal reflection.”
Scrumpy 'n' Western, Nov. '08, review of Rosie’s gig at The White Lion, Bradninch, Devon.
