"...her genuine passion for music and the joy it brings her is evident on stage, making  Gillis a delight to hear and watch and,without a doubt, deserving of the standing ovation she received at the festival."

~ Carolyn Sloan, The Spectator, Oct 18/05

 

"...her voice has an impressive range and her songs reveal a depth of meaning and emotion."

~ Dean Taylor, The Advertiser, Dec 18/07

"...Hope, whose echo of Judy Collins goes beyond, who nurses and goes beyond and sings and inspires."

~ Jim Lindsey (poet - "Four Variations")

"…Hope shares with her listener positive outlooks on reality, honest snapshots of her heart and scents of a universe much larger than any one of us…This collection of songs feels incredibly unique."
