Here’s what others have to say about the Quiet Revolution.
“Always a good sign when the barometer of taste plays your songs” Tobias Ben Jacob and Lukas Drinkwater
“I’m always really proud when a song I’ve written gets played out on the Quiet Revolution. Adam’s playlist curation is thoughtful and discerning, it feels just an enormous privilege to be part of it and to have the support of the show. I’m a fan of the show and regularly turn to Adam’s lists for inspiration for new music to get lost in” Jess Morgan
“The Quiet Revolution harks back to a different era of radio. Before playlists, marketing and demographics took over, the listener would trust the DJ to introduce them to new music. What I love about Adam’s show is he will play lesser known artists like me alongside global superstars. It’s a show with integrity and it’s simply about the music. I’m honoured to be played on it and as a listener myself I’ve discovered some great new artists through the show. Vive la Quiet Revolution” Matt Hill
“Adam has a great ear and enthusiasm for new music, which he curates beautifully. His gentle delivery makes me come back regularly to the Quiet Revolution, whether live or on MixCloud.

Keep on spinning Adam!” Pat McGarvey (Southern Tenant Folk Union)

Forget the French Revolution! Forget the Russian Revolution! Even forget The Beatles’ “Revolution”! If you’re seeking a true people’s revolutionary soundtrack (and some revolutionary idealism with it), the only show in town is Adam Wilson’s Quiet Revolution. Adam plays today the music other folk shows will be playing tomorrow, and his show always makes for a great listen. Don’t miss it! Greg McDonald (Glymjack)
“The Quiet Revolution, Adam Wilson’s baby, is patently a labour of love. You can tell that he’s a lover of the intimate. His musical selections mostly whisper their charms, but always grab you, very gently, by the heart. And squeeze. Most importantly he champions the underdog; writers who should be centre stage but abide in the fringes.God bless him for casting a light upon them.Long live his quiet revolution” Trevor Jones
“He’s costing me a bloody fortune in new CD’s!” Mark Howson
