“Everywhere you look people have got smiles on their faces…”. Jules Bellerby, Jonathan Cowap Show, BBC Radio York.
“In a world crammed with recycled hype, fad and trivia, a snap on the snare, a swooning roll from Seb is surely more of a real moment than Gaga’s gold teeth or Robbie’s stage fright. If it does just come down to appearance, Seb, his hair a map of a distant solar system, is far more of an otherworldly pop star than anything cultivated by Cowell and co.” Paul Morley, Observer.
