“I enjoyed it tremendously. The purity and honesty of it shone through” – JOOLS HOLLAND

“ Nigel Waite’s new CD is a parcel of sensitive and thought-provoking songs. ‘Once in a While’ will become a folk club standard.

“The album is excellent. I’ve got one, and if I didn’t, I’d want one! ” – VIN GARBUTT

“ Only once in a while does a fantastic CD like this come along, and this is the while”- MARTYN WYNDHAM-READ
