Having just finished a hefty European Tour, with his new ep "Await the Sunset" in-tow, Morris has been receiving notable attention worldwide, and rightfully so; this is a very charming little record" - The Flux Presents

"Portsmouth's answer to Jack Johnson" - Katie Martin, BBC Radio Solent

"In terms of encores, this gig is up there with one of the most memorable I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing" - Kerrie Oaks, Portsmouth University Magazine

"His music is reflective of the work he puts in as an artist" - Strong Island

"Morris’ tone is so beautiful and the harmonies from his band allow him to slot perfectly into the music industry with his performance abilities to shine through. With the talent he possesses it won’t be long till we see Richard Morris sell out all venues across this city." - PureFM
