Ben Glover

"Ben Glover is blessed with a very special voice, and having written "Through The Noise, Through The Night" shows his ear is also finely tuned to the vicissitudes of the human condition. "Full Moon Child" sounds, to me, like a modern classic." RICKY ROSS (DEACON BLUE)
"Ben Glover's second record is a shining work of kindness and heart, and I am proud to have co-written a song on it with him. Great art is a generosity, one lonely soul sharing itself with others hoping to be seen, and in these songs Ben, I see you. This is a great record, congratulations!" MARY GAUTHIER
"There's the unmistakable spark of the classic storyteller in Ben's songs. He writes real songs about real characters and delivers them with a passion you rarely see these days. He is without question one of the finest song writers in Ireland today." RALPH MCLEAN BBC
"With 'Through The Noise, Through The Night,' it seems that Ben Glover is on the edge of greatness." THE IRISH NEWS
"It is fair to say that this is a mighty fine piece of work. As the saying goes no fillers, all killers. I'm sure that stardom in his native Ireland is assured and with songs of the quality of 'First Chance For Second Tries' he deserves it. Remember the name. He is going to be massive."

"(Full Moon Child is) a classic in the making, it's worth the price alone, but that's just a taster of what lies ahead.Monument Green reveals Glover's keen ear for a catchy pop melody, Where The Lines Are (from whence the title comes) is a fine example of shuffling Celtic Americana that will again draw David Gray references just as Let It Do What It Does reveals a streak of Van…The man deserves to be huge. Consider you duty to help him on his way."
MIKE DAVIES (NETRHYTHMS.COM)

"For anyone wondering who the next big thing to come out of Northern Ireland will be, we at The Late Show would advise you to take a listen to Ben Glover and the Earls." THE LATE SHOW, BBC RADIO ULSTER
"…Don't be surprised if this music accompanies some intense moments in your life, or if this transatlantic enterprise becomes a rogue success." STUART BAILIE (BBC)
"Ben Glover hails from Northern Ireland but sounds like he belongs amongst the best of American singer/ songwriters- and could easily be a rival for the likes of Ryan Adams" GET READY TO ROCK (NIKK GUNNS)
"The quality of the writing is excellent and Ben has an engaging voice. I feel sure we will be watching his career for many years to come." BLUES MATTERS

"Glover is our very own Bruce Springsteen with an Irish accent and "The Week The Clocks Changed" shouldn't be missing in any record collection." STATE MAGAZINE
"Ben Glover has been quietly charming the under-crackers off of everyone from Belfast to Nashville and everywhere in between for the past few years and his debut album,The Week The Clocks Change is one of the most accomplished records you'll hear all year." FATE MAGAZINE
"Ben has got some heavyweight names chipping, not least Al Perkins, Vince Gill, Jim Lauderdale and Buddy Miller. You can understand why they'd want to be involved". NET RHYTHMS
"The likes of "Strong Enough For This" and "Higher Ground" could easily be the work of big-hatted cowboys, but are strangely all the more impressive when sung by a law graduate from Co. Antrim."
Q MAGAZINE
"Whether it be the outlaw music of Willie Nelson or acoustic philosophising of early Dylan – to whom the opening 'No Direction Home' presumably makes tribute – Glover bends his influences to his own purposes creating music that is eye-wateringly sharp and fresh."
AU MAGAZINE ALBUM REVIEW
"Some great melodies here and Glover has a good range in his voice, from quiet and husky to power pop. If Radio 2 ran their own daytime chart it would top that." GET READY TO ROCK (JOE GEESON)
