William Crighton

"Crighton's songs almost erratically jumped from the beautiful and sombre to raucous and powerful, portraying his full range."

"Crighton's music - whether consumed recorded or live - is intense and heavy, often shining a spotlight on and dissecting the dark recesses of humanity's sinister side. Far from a barrel of laughs, but extremely necessary."

"People say that friendships come from war, but those friendships come with attrition, too."

"A songwriter with plenty to say and a willingness to experiment with all manner of musical ingredients."

"His warmth and infectious candour felt like no time had passed since we last met."

"A punter yells a request for 'the Third Man single' and Stoneking's having none of it. 'I did shit for Third Man!' he protests."
