    The result are a joy, exuding the same casual charm that has always characterised his best work. [Sep 2008]

    If The Unfairground doesn’t quite qualify as a "stunning" return to form--"stunning" never really being Ayers’ stock in trade--it certainly represents the delightful and unexpected renaissance of a perennially undervalued artist, whose quiet but significant influence is long overdue for re-assessment.

    Whatever the situation, Ayers's amenability shines through regardless, a wave of warmth that can lighten the heaviest soul.
