On top of having the best summer of our lives playing to thousands of old friends and new, we were flattered to be nominated for these prestigious awards.  Now we have won, the wind is really in our sails and we have the strength and power to move forward.

Home Service have unfinished business – to re-emerge with such support is both touching and telling. The spirit we attempt to create in performance has been equally matched by the positive energy thrown generously at the bandstand.

Thank you all for welcoming our return so warmly – we are having the best of times.

This is a shared honour – we try and do it for you  - you definitely do it for us - and we thank you most warmly.

"Jonathan Davie & Michael Gregory lay down an immovable foundation; the brass section play like the Devil’s own pit band; Graeme Taylor’s guitar can strip paint, Steve King conjures a whole orchestra from his keyboards, and John Tams’s vocal smoulders and roars" ***** R2

"Moving Anglo roots rock forward by light years…keen spokesmen for a generation of the dispossessed…expect this to be in the ‘Best of 2011’…make it the soundtrack of your summer" FRoots

"The very mightiest of sounds that could grace any stage, with nothing remotely comparable in the folk-rock arena in terms of maximum visceral and emotional impact...a totally essential purchase: no argument." Net Rhythms


"Blistering...truculent folk-rock" ***** The Financial Times
