What the critics said in 2009: "East Neuk also has a rather quirky music festival, which just celebrated its fifth year, a polished mix of top-notch chamber music and off-the-wall electronic, performed in unusual places...." Sarah Unwin Jones, The Times,8 July 2009 " In prestige festival terms, East Neuk is as serious a player as Edinburgh or St Magnus..." Kennneth Walton, The Scotsman, 8 July 2009 "The East Neuk Festival is now five and you might think that after five years of finding interesting venues, the festival director would be running out of new ideas and sticking with locations he'd used before. But no, while there still remain stones to be turned (or rather, dark caverns to be explored) in this small corner of Fife, Svend Brown continues to find new venues to include in the programme..." Rowena Smith, the Herald, 6 July 2009
What the critics said in 2008 “The fact that the quartet (Skampa) chose this corner of rural Scotland to make their farewell appearance is a tribute to the festival, which seems modest on paper but offers an experience more intense and satisfying than many more prestigious events.” Ivan Hewett, Daily Telegraph 10 July 2008. “You know a music festival has come of age when it is able to hire out a top-security Royal Air Force base. But the East Neuk Festival thrives on challenging expectations... the best thing about this festival remains its firm commitment to first-class chamber music.” Neil Fisher, The Times, 8 July 2008 “The standard of chamber music provided by the East Neuk Festival defies logic by getting better and better every year...the festival continues to weave a magical mix-and-match that rarely disappoints.” Garry Fraser in the Dundee Courier “ Marrying the solid attractions of some of the country's most beautiful old churches with some of the most sublime classical music ever written has brought the East Neuk Festival and its eponymous host area into the international arena ...each year, something new, exciting and different rears its head and makes a new mark on the Scottish and global music scene.” Courier and Advertiser 27 June 2008. “This imaginatively programmed festival is now in its fifth year and is well worth a visit” Sunday Telegraph 29 June 2008 “In just three years this chamber music festival has established itself as a useful player in the British summer music scene.” Financial Times 28 June 2008 “East Neuk may be a relative newcomer to the British summer festival circuit, but in just three years it has already carved out its own distinctive niche and locale. High quality chamber music has become East Neuk's calling card, with the programme deftly interlacing residencies by a number of groups and solo instrumentalists.” The Guardian/The Guide 28 July 2008 “ With each passing year the East Neuk Festival in Fife becomes more assured. Successes are built on and further developed... a gem of the summer music calendar that has proved to be not just viable but highly successful.” (The Herald 3 July 2007) “It's only three years old, but the East Neuk Festival already feels like a part of the fabric of the communities that it gleefully infiltrates for five hectic days a year... always intimate music-making, and a marvellous audience that rewards all the attention with rapt curiosity” (The Times 4 July 2007)
