“The Lacemakers, (independent, 2012) "This self-titled selection of Scottish, Irish and Appalachian songs with new music in the vein is a wonderful introduction to the Lacemakers. Our perception of lacemakers can often be older ladies in secluded surrounding carrying on a centuries-old tradition. This trio certainly fit that latter category (the "tradition," not the "older" part) but their lace is definitely modern. They give a unique spin to traditional songs, making a new sound in the process. Not that they abandon the traditional, which is augmented in a terrific fashion by ladies who have a true love of the music........."”

— Nicky Rossiter, Rambles.net

"Heloise Love and her lovely ladies show up an hour early to get ready to play at Old Cal Coffee last Friday Night. They looked like a million bucks, so I took lots of photos and they sound even better, so I took some video too. I’d like to introduce you to this band as I feel they have a lot to offer as they play so many great instruments and sing and write their own music too! We had a few moments before their performance and shot this video… It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to Heloise Love, Kim Donaldson and Virginia’s own, Miss Darla!"

— Craig Garcia, Old Cal Coffee Blog Spot

“Chris Lamberton April 4 at 11:09am Report Hi Heloise! Thank you for coming back for San Diego Tartan Day on Saturday! I was again reminded of why I enjoy your singing so much! I am so glad you were able to be with us, and hope that you will come back again next year! Chris Lamberton Director-At-Large - San Diego Tartan Day ”

— Chris Lamberton, Director of San Diego Tartan Day

“ Tim Day says, “Heloise is one of the most versatile, talented, and dedicated musicians I’ve ever worked with. She explores the music, listens, learns, and never stops trying to be a consummate performer and entertainer.””

— Allen SInger, Tim Day, booking head of San Diego Folk Heritage

"A young lady born in San Diego to a French mother and a father with Welsh and Scottish roots was raised in a household listening to Herb Alpert and the Irish Rovers, among many others. With her sisters she sang harmony and between them they played multiple instruments from guitar to trumpet, with autoharp in there, too. From those roots, Heloise Love has grown into an accomplished performer with an obvious love of great folk music...."

— Nicki Rossiter, Rambles
