Frome Standard, July 2014 wrote "Henry Wacey is a rising talent and not to be missed - his bluesy and unique songwriting and guitar playing are sure to impress." Frome Standard, April 2015 ahead of Henry's appearance in the Battle of the bands final: "The only solo act making it to the final is Henry Wacey. What Henry might lack in band members numbers he more than makes up for in talent. Giving his own take on acoustic folk, with honest, open songs with great sing along moments. The next Frank Turner? The next winner of battle of the bands? We wouldn't bet against either."
