⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Singing verbatim from classics Treasure Island, Lanark and Peter Pan and the works of modern authors, turning James Robertsons’s News of the Dead into a lullaby on electric piano, capturing the sense of redemption and closure in Jackie Kay’s short story The Pink House and embodying the spirit of Andrew Greig’s At the Loch of the Green Corrie, which asks the reader to finish the story.” - The Scotsman
⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Such a sense of discovery is the ideology that is bought to the fore by Gareth Williams in his extraordinary feat of endurance, the lavish and beautiful Songs From The Last Page”. It” puts the listener in mind of how they too have gone beyond a last word and imagined the world of continuance, of prolonging the heart that has found love in a meaningful farewell.” - Liverpool Seen and Heard
⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Williams skilfully celebrates Scottish literature, demonstrating their highly imaginative, creative, and inspiring prowess. The performance is not just a musical display, but an invitation to explore one's creative depths. By breathing new life into well-loved stories, he uncovers the extraordinary within the ordinary, delivering a resounding celebration of creativity itself." - EdFestMag
⭐⭐⭐⭐ “There’s so much to love in ‘Songs From The Last Page’ for lovers of song and written word. It’s an absolutely delightful experience, thoughtful, and even a touch surprising. What must be applauded is this genuinely original endeavour, which shines a wonderful new light on literary classics. This is how you reach new audiences, and cross-pollinate the creative industries.” - The Quintessential Review
