This Act's Average Star Rating

“His guitar playing was a revelation to everyone who heard him, and his range of styles was remarkable; he also proved himself to be a real enthusiast for the music, and for the oral singing traditions of these islands.”

Barry Goodman (Judge of New Roots Competition St Albans, member of Folk Duo 'Life and Times'),

“His playing totally complemented our wedding reception, he played with consummate taste and skill”

Tom, Hastings
