"As someone who spent many a gig hanging around the jewel on the Humber with such eighties turns as 3 Action, The Gargoyles and of course The Housemartins, I was delighted to see The Talks in concert and realise that the flame of good music still burns bright in Hull..."

"I like it [Teachers] because most Hull bands, myself included, are a little bit too modest and this band sound a little bit angry and cheeky."
