“Bernard Carney is a great all-round musician in the tradition of the folk troubadour. He has a unique talent as songwriter, guitarist and singer all peppered with passion and humour”

Port Fairy Festival Director Jamie McKew when presenting Bernard with the prestigious Artist of the Year award at Port Fairy Festival 2003

“Songs of love and memory are bittersweet explorations of human emotion sung with a kind of melodic elegance that is the hall mark of a good song.”

Ron Banks West Australian 2003

“His immaculate ragtime based finger picking  has got smoother and swingier; the voice has rounded and matured like a well kept cab sav and his musical vocabulary has expanded without ever getting detached from its roots... Bernard has become a major influence on guitarists and songwriters around Australia.”
