"Tom Fairnie is Scotland's best kept songwriting secret." Edinburgh Evening News
"Tom Fairnie writes excellent material and performs it with the energy and passion of a seasoned player" Martin Lennon - Edinburgh Evening News
"He's a romantic at root and his style seems to reach back to the great nineteenth century poets and to Burns, combining the pithiness of the latter with the yearning romanticism of the former though all the while his eye is on the world around him in the here and now" John Davy (Flying Shoes Review )
"Tom Fairnie, in a word; atmospheric. This Scottish songwriter has a sound so heroic and wide ranging it's a wonder how his stunning and far reaching yet subtle country sound isn't flowing from the fingertips of an American songsmith." Greg Harper – Rawrip
"In a parallel universe Tom Fairnie is a superstar of Scottish and Country music. It's just not fair that it hasn't happened in this universe because he writes tremendous songs and sings them with elegance, style and great beauty. Tom has a gentle, understated quality to him, but for all that, his songs make one hell of an impact whenever he plays." Leith Folk Club review March 2016
