“I have just finished watching the Jules Riding DVD Cataclysm featuring Dannevirke’s own Narelle Worboys. To sum the DVD up…Inspirational, empowering, devotional, heart pounding, breath-taking leaving one longing for more. Congratulations Jules, Narelle and the team.”
Stephen Cooper, North Island, New Zealand

25 May 2011, written to recording artist Jules Riding: 
“The Narelle Worboys’ accompaniment and synchronicity with your own voice is solid gold.”
Rob Clemett

28 September 2011, response to watching "Cataclysm" DVD:
“Narelle, Beautiful music. Thank you very much.”
Annette, North Island, New Zealand

11 January 2011
“Narelle, just listened to some of this music! Your voice is unique and utterly beautiful. You sing wonderfully with that guy on the guitar, he is also very good…is there any possibility that you will tour outside of New Zealand? Your music has a calming and hypnotic effect…now I know why you selected the songs you did for our choir…lol”
Anastasia M. Fischer (liturgist/cantor/musician), USA

2010-2014, collected comments from Jules Riding (veteran recording artist, author, photographer):
“You have a great voice. I want a high soprano for this project [Cataclysm] and you're it!!  Quite a few of the songs have high angelic bvs, so it is essential to have someone who can get up there. I had been considering a boy soprano from the Cathedral as an alternative.”
“I would love for you to be involved in this project. …I would love you to sing as guest vocalist in as many of the concerts as your health will allow.”
“…Be blessed to be a blessing. Wow.”
“…I like your arrangements. You have a wonderful gift with words. I think you have a unique and sensitive nature that expresses itself in these creative ways. All the best with your music.”
Jules Riding, North Island, New Zealand

"We love your beautiful outfits. You make us feel like we're attending the opera."

Response to Songuine music videos:


Reviews of Narelle's original production “Roma’s Message in a Bottle”:
 22 May 2011
“It’s fantastic. The music is nice, the voice is crystal clear (you have an amazing voice, especially with those high notes). The balance between the singing and the narration is perfect (in both time allocation and relative balance). The overall impact is excellent and it is also quite beautiful. It does a good job of making its message but beyond that the video and the music is pretty.”
John Winchester (musician/composter), Georgia, USA

2011
"Everything about this video is beautiful."
AttractiveCo,YouTube

Review of “A Princess Moment”:
24 July 2010
“If I had a hat on I would take if off to you…very impressive. Shame about the organist tempo however that did not affect your composure or the beautiful voice you have. I look forward to seeing more. God Bless!”
Stephen Cooper, North Island, New Zealand

Review of Narelle's duetting album with her sister Sarah:
19 August 2010
“Just wanted to let you know, if I haven’t done so already, how much I am enjoying your videos here on YouTube. I especially loved “I Stand Amazed in the Presence of Jesus the Nazarene…” I could hear the joy and feel it too. Amen! The joy of the Lord is our strength! Thanks, and please…keep sharing with us all. You are lovely!”
Ginger Griffin, USA
