Press Reviews "Great entertainment..." says Joe Warmington, in his Toronto Sun column of 6/16/2001 describing Catherine Mitchell and Murray Pollard of [ho.ri'.zon]. Joe has asked that we keep him informed of when we play next; "I want to see more, let me know of your next gig..." Also a nice photo in the paper of us! "We are thrilled that such talented artists as Catherine and Murray [ho.ri'.zon] will be performing at this very important event", said Catherine Carney-White, Executive Director of Interim Place. (Describing an upcoming performance for a charitable function) - Canada News Wire August 29, 2001. "Holy @#!*, I listened to the CD, what a great job. I got goose bumps listening to Journey and Gone Again and Heaven. Your voice is so clear on all the songs, and the background harmonies are very effective. And I like the haunting guitar on Walk Away" (loyal fan). "Such an interesting mix of attendees... gay, straight, all ages, lots of industry folks etc. Such a huge and diverse mix should be taken as a complement to you both. Have I told you lately how great you guys are! Lots of love and congratulations once again!" (another loyal fan after our CD release peformance). "We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed your voice, your music and your show, especially since I managed to scam those front row seats! You guys did a great job of planning the night, it was very professional and quite impressive. I was particularly impressed with your on-stage presence, if that was your first time on stage then you guys are definitely naturals! As you know, when it comes to stage presence either you have it or you don't and you've definitely got it. Be sure to put me on your email list if you haven't already." (ok, another loyal fan! We can't help it! : )
