C.D. Reviews - Stone by Stone

“Everything about it is just right - Mike’s unpretentious and extremely relaxed voice, the excellent choice of material, the uncluttered production, the use of additional musicians and vocals when only really appropriate, the clear and simple artwork - they’re all first class.  An object lesson for anyone contemplating producing their own CD”  Jim Marshall - Sussex Folk Diary.  

“You know that warm comfortable feeling that makes you feel everything's O.K. in a folk club with the likes of Don Shepherd, Nic Jones or Tom Paxton singing with friends who don’t care which century they are in, Mike fits effortlessly into that picture. Listen and ponder....”. Rob Mitchell - What’s On in Kent.

" This lad can hold a song down and has a voice like a warm fire on a winters evening" Les Bond, BBC Radio Lancashire.

“This is a cosy sort of album just right for winter listening and a worthwhile addition to your collection”. Simon Brown - Folk on Tap.

“I was won over by Mike’s warm mellow voice. Mike should be very pleased with his work I enjoyed it” Martin Stimson - Buzz Magazine.

“Mike does an impressive job in matching Stan Rogers’ fearsome range on White Squall. Good honest singing. I guarantee it will be a big seller” Dai Jeffries Surrey Folk Diary

“It’s a good listen, a good resource and a good buy”  Jim Ellison - Tykes News
