"She may not have the publicity machine behind her, but there’s a steadily building word of mouth that will hopefully catch the ears of those in print, online and on the airwaves (the album is a gift to Radio 2) who will foster public awareness that this truly is one of the year’s finest debut albums and an artist with whom to build a lifetime’s relationship."

"Quite simply these are songs that make you care...This is one album that’s definitely not a ‘maybe’ it’s a ‘must’."

"...hearing the produced album has just blown me away"

"For Louise Petit is a storyteller. Drawing from her own experiences, her songwriting harks back to that golden age when simplicity was the key."

“This debut release by Midlands based singer-songwriter Louise Petit is further proof that there is a buoyant and creative scene within the low key music venues throughout the country especially with artists who have the talent and desire to impose their own style on a modern interpretation of traditional music. This five track-recently issued EP has its roots firmly planted in the style of the great American songbook with the simple but effective sounds from an array of acoustic instruments providing perfect synergy with the song construction and writing skills of Louise. The listening journey of FEAR AND MY OTHER FRIENDS may be short but is certainly sweet enough to induce many repeat plays and leave the songs ingrained within your mind.... ”

“Another relative newcomer to the local music scene is the wonderful Louise Petit – defining herself as a mixture of folk, country and pop – with a little bit of Ukelele thrown in. Louise took to the stage immediately before headliner Tom Woodman, and packed out the Acoustic Tent. A well received set, which was taken in a slightly different direction when joined in her set by ‘Go Ukelele Crazy!’ – a group of amateur Uke’ players who formed a mini-orchestra as backup. Superb stuff!”

“Lichfield's Louise Petit proudly hopped between sultry tales of heartbreak and jaunty pips of folk-pop, switching ably between guitar and ukulele.”

“A newcomer to Lichfield live scene, Louise Petit, took to the stage at Bower Day to wow and impress new fans. A solo artist from Rugeley, Louise has been writing songs and playing guitar for over ten years. Her 2011 set includes a song played on the Ukelele, which is an unofficial favourite amongst the Lichfield fans. Another artist not to miss! ”

“Louise Petit was recently spotted at the George IV after doing a set at their regular Open Mic night. Louise plays her own unique brand of country meets folk and since her first appearance she has played guest support slots a couple of times and is becoming a firm favorite with the George and its patrons. Watch out for her finale number on ukulele and a rumored jam session with meberob. ”
