David you are the most inspirational singer songwriter that has ever emerged from the reality TV genre. You have the most touching lyrics and almost heaven like face that a person would ask for. Love ya! Liv

I wish I was able to communicate to David just how powerful his raw voice is, I'm sure it is what won him FA but then his label didn't know how to handle a truly emotional singer, who had 'it' without needing all the technical wizardry of the studio.  Helen

I much much prefer David acoustic. On his B sides and at the Colne gig - the music flowed perfectly there with David’s singing leading the music. David’s vocals were the most perfect and clear and Harry’s guitar was rhythmic and light, perfectly matching David’s songs. David’s voice should be heard clearly and not drowned over with studio effects. Not many singers are so talented they can carry their vocals acoustically, and they require the backing band or the studio to enhance their vocals. David has a very expressive and distinctive emotional voice. For me that’s his biggest strength. I want to hear the edge, the ‘specialness’ and beauty of his voice clearly.  When I first heard No More Words my reaction was ' bloody brilliant!'

The two aspects that make me sit up and take voice of David in the first place - the songwriting and the voice – were fully in evidence at the Oran Mor.
David’s voice sounded wonderful, really full and strong. It all felt so relaxed, he produced all these beautiful high, low and held notes with apparent ease. It was a joy to hear it.

David has talent He definitely knows were he’s from and he’s
  getting there, where he wants to be. Bla.Bla.Bla promoting its the
  industry big chiefs that make the money. God some pop stars cant
  even sing...Live....let alone sing their own material...a song...it
  does go to their heads sometimes!! some are even born into it. take
  care all Clairebear xxx
  Guess who`s back...David Sneddon and his gang, its meant to be./Claire

It was great to relive Colne again and David at the piano singing is what appeals to me most. David's voice is so much better singing on his own with John. It would be great to have another gig with David, John and Harry. Aileen

Yes, I have always liked the acoustic stuff that David does. It brings out the quality in his voice, which I think sometimes gets drowned out by the band. However I still like the band stuff too. No More Words, Star, 20th Century Boy etc. are great with the band. This is a long term thing. David and John together are a magical songwriting combination.  Ian

I haven’t met a David fan who doesn't think that anything David has recorded is better in the acoustic format than in the released smooth pop style, He has a uniquely raw emotional element in his voice that seems to flow from the heart and touch his listeners in a way that opens their hearts to his pain. I hope and pray that this new album capitalises on David's voice rather than on the 'sound', Colne version of GB is very different from the Sham version and INMHO far far superior.  Helen

David you are the most inspirational singer songwriter that has ever emerged from the reality TV genre. You have the most touching lyrics and almost heaven like face that a person would ask for.

David adds to his heartfelt songs his wonderful emotional voice, his wonderful range with his singing. Hiding From me, emotional voice; Fallen Angel, expressing strong highs and lows; No More Words, a focused voice, very moving; Only A Boy, moving ; Little Blue, playful and light; Star, personal and touching; acoustic Goodbye Baby, sexy and stirring. Pauline

When I listen to David's lyrics and singing I am at once sad, relaxed and happy, many emotions. I never understand why David's songs are always so short or why exactly his music moves me like it does?

I absolutely adore No More Words! Davids voice sounds so emotional and passionate, its stunning. I played No More Words to my son who is a huge Radiohead/Manics/Joy division fan and he loves it. He thinks it would make a good single because it shows how different Davids music is now, and if someone heard it on the radio and then realised it was David, they would be surprised!'  Marian

Hearing David sing 'No More Words' leaves me feeling more optimistic than ever. It's a beautiful, melodic song, a mature song - I think it shows he's developing as an artist. He sings it wonderfully. When I listen to it I can't wait to hear what comes next.
As for Dave's vocals - I can't find words to describe how sexy they were. The low notes were gorgeous and he's fantastic when he improvises and goes off at a tangent with the vocals. Kate

I am fascinated by how smiley and happy and upbeat he is, and then when he sings all the real emotion comes out and it's just such an amazing contrast.   Helen

No more Words is my personal fav beautiful beautiful song. Other ones I'd like released as singles -Little Blue, love how it changes tack in the middle from fast to slow. Hiding from me, very singable chorus.' Pat

I've listened to live music and gone to gigs for years. I don't know much about music except for what pleases my ears and reaches my heart. I love Davids voice, it pitches at a very emotional level for me.
The thing that makes me hopeful for the future is the diversity of the themes and rhythms, each song has it's own personality and signature. So many albums are very 'samey' these days and often disappiont, with only a couple of obvious singles and a few filler tracks.
