| "Her dark pure voice is unusual. Baez yes, but also Tanita Tikaram, Gay Woods, June Tabor and Judy Collins in her Brecht-Weill mood She's a damn good guitarist too, her folk, jazz and world style well versed in the influences of Drake and Renbourn. Lines like "she said 'there are plates to wash in the sink and there are people in prison locked up just as in a film'" make your heart tumble" |

| "Italian-born Queen of Folk Emma Tricca was first spotted by John Renbourn playing for pennies in Rome. Having subsequently toured with Lonnie Donegan, and shared stages with Carolyn Hester and Eric Anderson she's now one of the most memorable performers in London Town. An exceptional finger-picking guitarist and a captivating singer; her voice moves from dark and strong to butterfly light, like a Joan Baez, Buffy Sainte-Marie and Janis Ian all-in-one. Plus she's a brilliant songwriter" |

| "Emma Tricca on the Green Man Cafe fun, impressive, a trifle fey, classic folk voice." |
| Review of the GREEN MAN festival - Jeremy Searle |
| "Emma Tricca sits demurely under the Cafe Stage canopy, singing sweet to her guitar. The Lady has a voice of gentleness with a light sprinkling of vibrato for emphasis. Her wistful songs engage easily and draw the sun from behind the clouds" |
| Review of the GREEN MAN FESTIVAL Show - Jane Oriel |
| "Pure seductive voice" |
| Time Out London |
| "Tricca sings without naivety, subtly creating a seductive and powerful experience" |
| Saffron Summerfield |
| "Stripped bare of her band Tricca's new songs stand proud & while ably backed by long-term guitarist Martin Brown, there is more than enough substance in both lyric & melody to withstand being reduced down to even a single vocal & guitar showing the versatility of any well-written song. Our forty-five minutes was over too soon. Leaving the stage briefly, Emma returned with a delicate run through Bob Dylan's 'Love Minus Zero/ No Limits', which drew a lengthy and enthusiastic applause, entirely commensurate with the standard of performance we had been treated to over the course of the evening" |
| Live review By Pete Gow - Americana UK |
| "Emma Tricca deserves kudos for a folkie take on Emmylou Harris' tricky From Boulder to Birmingham." |
| Nick Fildes - Americana UK |
| "A genuine folk singer with a sensibility that flies us arrow-straight to the 60's streets of Greenwich Village or Soho" |
| Joey Webb - Bucketfull Of Brains |
| "Fresh from recording her new album, MINOR WHITE, Emma performs brand new material as well as the occasional classic re-arranged. A delicate, seductive blend of English and American roots, inspired by the people and places that touched her soul on her extraordinary journey." |
