Christine Tobin really transcends glib genre-fiction….. everything is shot through with an unmistakable refinement, free-spirited earthiness and giddy romanticism, this singer-songwriter is in a field of one – Mojo Music Magazine
A Thousand Kisses Deep, with Christine Tobin on vocals and Phil Robson on guitar, is a beautiful re-working of eleven Leonard Cohen songs alongside some choice originals. In her own writing, Christine Tobin specialises in idiosyncratic, highly musical poetic vignettes with a strong sense of story, so it's no surprise that she weaves magic with the profound, sensual songs of Cohen, and in her musical settings of W.B. Yeats and contemporary Irish poet, Paul Muldoon.
She has chosen the Cohen songs from his early 1960s albums right through to his 2001 release Ten New Songs. The live show of A Thousand Kisses Deep won a prestigious Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Fringe and the album has received widespread rave reviews.
