'Often, singer/songwriters fall down in one of two areas: the singing, or the songwriting. Pretty crucial, huh? Yorkshire’s Steve Larkman possesses strength in both areas; his voice is a rich, multi-tonal vessel as comfortable in the gutter as it is up with the angels, while his writing is simultaneously complex and simple. If comparisons are to be made, try Paul Kelly and Boo Hewerdine; the former for the rhythmic essence of his lines, the latter for the simple humanity of his subjects. Tearjerker therefore works equally well as a publishers demo and as a draw for his live shows; either way, it’s likely that you’ll be seeing the name Steve Larkman attached to a serious deal very soon'. - Michael Ornadet - LOGO Magazine.
"Steve Larkman is excellent, 'Thin White Dove' is a dead ass hit" - Steven Wrench, Lou-do Music, Florida.

"Steve has produced a rock album with echoes of Chris Rea and the marvellous Nick Lowe throughout. Touches of tasteful layered keys and rock solid guitar support his straightforward vocal style. "Tokyo Rodeo" puts you in mind of Kim Wilde circa Kids in America and it is likely there is a future for Steve in supplying top notch material for the numerous singers, encouraged by the X Factor style programmes, in need of mainstream, radio friendly tunes'. Keith Ames, Musician Magazine.

'Hull’s singer/guitarist Steve has attracted attention for his well-crafted MOR productions which focus on his strong, warm vocals and build upon a wise choice of material.This latest CD is a selection of songs by name writers (Ray Griff, Bill Myles) and squarely puts the emphasis on Steve as a singer and moves away from his recognised ability as a writer. Definitely aimed at an audience seeking traditionally appealing qualities of clean, easy-on-the-ear sounds, Steve is a prolific artist who regularly releases fresh recordings, all of which serve to generate interest in his work. A valuable addition to his impressive catalogue which can only help a burgeoning career. Stand out track 'Hard to Say Goodbye' - Musician Magazine N.B. the Word Games Album is only available from this website

Each song is as different as each Sunrise. Love, Hope, Glory, (Heart and Soul) all contained in this wonderful CD’ - Eddie West, Deputy Programme Director, Downtown Radio/Cool FM, Belfast.
'This a great cd of mellow songs. I love "Lazy Blue" is sounds kinda special to me..hard to explain..you"d have to listen to it..to really appreciate this track. The album reminds me of the singer songwriters of the 70s and 80s, if you like "Rupert Holmes", Randy Vanmarmer, Randy Eldemen.etc....you"ll love this CD. He has his own unique voice. Stand out tracks are " A Thing For My Head", Stella and Joe, Saltend Skyline, Jack Say It, Sunburst and Make It Sting. The bonus track is "Chasing Rainbows" which was a single and is a great song'. - Mr. Alan J.Hare, Amazon Review. 'Love, Hope And Glory' contains 'She's In Love', a song tipped to be a hit by TM Century's HITDISC - an industry standard compilation CD which predicts future hits, alongside The Beatles, Justin Timberlake, Pussycat Dolls, BabyShambles and McFly.
