"Poppy and Friends is a trio of acoustic guitar and voice (Poppy), double bass and drums. Poppy is full of fun and energy, her songs simply swinging between an Irish folk song feel (begins the set with just voice which sounds chant like) and Anti-folk of Kimya Dawson ilk (loose but tight and full of punk heart energy). Engaging songs about her friends, experiences and mayonnaise, Poppy sways from being intimate, punk, rocking, tantrum but all with a big friendly, cheeky grin. It's a pleasure to watch and be in an audience for Poppy and Friends."-Listenomania, May 2010
"Poppy Pitt, won many new fans with her lovely voice, but also her mix of emotionally resonant songs that take a deep and often humorous look at life." - Chew Valley Gazette, March 2010- "Poppy & Friends manage to straddle the ground that lies between anti-folk legend Kimya Dawson and adorable London type, Emmy the Great effortlessly rather like the Bobby MacGees, Poppy and Friends stand separate from their peers both this and that side of the Atlantic. Poppy and Friends might sound cute but there are a few e-numbers in store here. "-Bearded Magazine, Oct 09
