“Fascinating listening to Bobbie’s arrangements, she uses the orchestra like how Dilla uses the MPC, looping and re-arranging, it’s genius!” Marc Mac, 4Hero, November 2022

“For Gardner, as a practitioner of orchestral music, and B+ as a documentarian and evangelist, the calling to appreciate, cannonize, and spread the dying tradition of the arranger/composer within the popular music tradition is the driving force behind Music of the Unseen.” Allen Thayer, WaxPoetics October 2 2022

The concert ”..ended on a much more upbeat note with Bobbie-Jane Gardner’s arrangement of Odetta’s 1970 anthem Hit or Miss, with Lyon and Cleverton managing to get the Cheltenham audience … clapping … along” Guardian

“Bobbie-Jane Gardner is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the most exciting figures on the dynamic Birmingham new music scene, and one of the most distinctive composers of her generation.”
Joe Cutler, Head of Composition – Royal Birmingham Conservatoire

“Bobbie has been a great collaborator, band member, song writer, facilitator, string arranger and fixer to work with – that’s how versatile she is and there is still more to discover. A lovely gentle human being with a lot of soul and integrity – highly recommended!”
Mark Williams, Artistic Director, Heart n Soul

“Excellent musician. Skilled, adaptable, personable and great to work with. Jeremy Briggs, Tour Producer, Roots Music
