Press Quotes:

“A poet turned musician - or, perhaps, the opposite, Christian Wethered is a delicate, slow-burning artist who explores life through his lens, with subtle songwriting and poetic lyrics.” — James Hendicott (NME / Dublin Gazette)

“Mon Petit Jardin operates in a much more intimate, contained world. There are also touches of Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley, as Wethered explores a world that straddles both stark vulnerability and grandeur'” — Lucy O'Toole, Hotpress

"His poetic lyrics are reminiscent of a young Cohen" — KLOF Magazine
