“May's Marvellous Mayhem .. Sizzlingly sexy in a clingy, cap-sleeved, black and yellow striped dress, her energy was infectious….superb” – The Times

“A whipcracker of a voice … Songs describing rumpuses, stalkers and sexual predators are delivered with oodles of energy….dangerously rocking” –  The Guardian
