Irish Dance Academy (Irish Dance Academy).
”Nicola Cassells is a wonderful example of Scottish youth at its finest”.
Darius Campbell (West End actor/singer).
”The musical ability on display was of a high caliber, with an operatic performance from one young lady (Nicola) that wouldn’t be out of place in the Glasgow Royal Concert hall”.
Bruce Devlin (TV presenter on STV’s Hour show).
”The star of the day was Nicola Cassells, a beautiful young girl from Ayrshire with an equally beautiful voice. While most other singers sang the usual talent show medleys Nicola came out and sang a virtuoso performance of Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to say Goodbye”. To say that Nicola has a stunning voice would be stating the obvious, but here is a girl who looks like a pop star but sings like the finest coloratura soprano. If Susan Boyle sang as well as Nicola then even I would have bought her CD this Christmas”.
John Young (Youngmedia).
Scotswoman of the year awards. “Its such an inspiring, uplifting event and the singing by Nicola Cassells at the end of the night was an unexpected bonus- heaven-sent”.
Gwyneth Guthrie (TV actress).
Scottish rap duo SHY & DRS ft Nicola CD review. “Nostalgia fans will be appeased with the operatic rap ballad ‘Heart of Stone’ featuring classical singer Nicola Cassells, who’s voice took me surprise, in a good way. Beautiful, but a different type beautiful. Nicola is a voice I could listen to at 3am on a freezing cold morning, gazing longingly out of the window while under the influence of large amounts of whisky”.
Helen Grant (music critic).
”With a vocal ability and passion as great as hers, Nicola possesses a voice which is truly beautiful and mesmerizing”.
