“By and large, easy-on-the ear mood music. Undeniable appeal” -××× Nottingham Evening Post
“Gifted classical guitarist.. highly accessible recital.. blends the familiar and the relatively obscure to excellent effect.” – Kevin Bryan (Stirling News)
“This is a very well filled CD. Section Three [British works] is perhaps the most fascinating … the whole presentation has been very carefully considered.” – Chris Durnigan (Classical Guitar)
