"Just heard your version of the Galway Farmer
- sounds great. In fact it's the best version I've
heard so far (and there's been a few!)"
Steve Knightley, Show of Hands
"......an opening Jelly
Roll Morton number featured a guitar, two mandolins,
melodeon, harmonica and bass....Graham Bellinger
on lead vocals excelled at the blues..... Why Don't
You Try Me gave the band the opportunity to display
harmonies and on Goodnight Train Phil Bradley took
over lead vocals whilst still chipping in with stunning
harmonica.....I was enthralled with their rendition
of Down South in New Orleans - a Cajun style toe
tapper. A great set - this band is worth going some
distance to see"
Folk Northwest Autumn 2002
"...infectious, driving, good time feel and a delightfully varied set; they really are an enjoyable and entertaining crew."
Chester Folk Festival
"Graham Bellinger has
released a solo CD that focusses on his impressive
songwriting talents. Built to Last (Root Chords
Records) is a sort of suite based on his long time
relationship with the Welsh Marches, a landscape
that has clearly influenced this collection written
over a period of thirty years.The best, like Feet
on the Ground and On the Black Hill resound with
a gritty irony and all of them reveal a poetic lyricism
that almost always hits the mark and only occasionally
strays uncomfortably into New Age territory. Add
a song apiece from Steve Knightley and Vicki Williams
and some excellent backing from Bellinger's musician
friends and you have an album that's built to last"
Gary Copeland, West Midland Express and Star, May 28 2004
"Many thanks for your performance at the Red Bull Open Weekend. It certainly created an excellent ambiance....I received positive feedback from many customers....the atmosphere was vibrant....I look forward to you joining us at similar future events"
