THE FINANCIAL TIMES:

What hit me hardest is its sheer poetry. But nobody could miss the entertainment value here, and its world premiere on Saturday night was greeted with a full-throated ovation. Stomp is Brighton’s brightest offspring. ★★★★★

THE INDEPENDENT (on Brighton Festival):

a celebration of energy, rhythm and inventiveness....As a sprawling, exhilarating festival event... it's already unmissable.

THE INDEPENDENT (on Royal Festival Hall):

Put this troupe in white tie and tails and present them as avant-gardists, and they'd be the intellectual toast of the town. Thankfully, they're a raggle-taggle bunch, and at the end of this unforgettable evening, the audience just doesn't want to let them go.

THE TELEGRAPH:

You might be reminded of Philip Glass and Michael Nyman, of early Art of Noise, Tom Waits or even Björk at her most bonkers. Lost and Found Orchestra is its own thing, though. It might be all sound and energetic frenzy, signifying little, but it's the opposite of rubbish - and, after such a triumphant try-out, we haven't heard the last of it.

THE STAGE:

Stupendous, is the best word to describe the opening concert of the Brighton Festival.... Cresswell participates as well as conducts the ensemble, ending with a tremendous climax which had a packed concert hall on its feet... a sheer delight.

THE GUARDIAN:

It is exhilarating and strangely beautiful... unpretentious, infectious and great fun.
