Reviews

Modern day minstrel Maude makes merry by setting sonnets to music, be it country, trad-folk or blues. Poetry plays a large part in his proceedings, but at the core is his uncanny ability to see inside a mood and act accordingly.

Maude’s discovery of poetry in everyday life, or rather poetry as a dowsing-rod in the, it must be said ‘cheerful’, search for the sense of things.
[Die Entdeckung der Poesie im normalen Leben, oder besser: die Poesie als Wuenschelrute auf der wenn auch heiteren Suche nach dem Sinn der Dinge ]

Tony Maude has an exceptionally sensitive and perceptive approach to Shakespearean songs and Elizabethan lyrics.

Time and again, reviewers from Donegal to Dusseldorf will try to explain what it is Tony Maude has that can still a noisy bar, draw crowds in the street or communicate to the present with texts that are centuries old.

His music and poetry build their own stage and the audience is as in Shakespeare's time, drawn into the action.

This year’s ‘Europa-Week’ reached a highpoint with the appearance of the English Poet / Songwriter TM.
[Einen literarisch-gesanglichen Hoehepunkt erreichte die diesjaehrige Europa-Woche mit dem Auftritt des englischen Poeten und Liedermachers T.M.]

How does one do that?! In a ‘Cabaret’, with around 70 people, to achieve an atmosphere so quiet, that even the sound of the extractor-fans becomes irksome.
[Wie schafft man es, rund 70 Mencshen in einer Gaststaette so ruhig zu bekommen, dass selbst das Geraeusch des Ventilators ploetzlich als stoerend wahrgenommen wird]
