    REVIEWS

    "Enthusiastic young folk doing something refreshingly different with their chosen material (sea shanties, trad folk, self penned); .. Chris's impassioned bluesy singing style bringing a welcome fresh slant. Clear-sighted and with a real sense of commitment to dragging this repertoire into the modern world. This is a grower." fROOTS 2011

    .....at times I am reminded of Martin Simpson and Steve Tilston in the style of guitar delivery, which is never a bad thing........The guitar playing and vocal stylings of Chris and Mark are thoroughly enjoyable, and it’s very easy to put this CD on repeat. As an album ’Simple Folk’ showcases some promising new talent in guitar-based folk, and looks a good launching pad for these two young performers." Liz Osman (brightyoungfolk.com)


    "Chris Ricketts is the sort of artist who can hold a whole room spellbound with the sound of his voice alone. In this debut album, with collaborator and bassist Mark Willshire, he has successfully captured the energy and enthusiasm that makes going to his live shows such a joy. Despite the sparse arrangement of the songs (mostly just vocals, guitar and bass) the album has a warmth and intensity to it that is incredibly satisfying." - Kate Steaggles (Acoustic Magazine)


    “These guys are two of the most charismatic, infectious performers on the scene today – if they don’t go all the way, it’s a travesty” Phil Daniels – Folking.com


    "These songs combine the groundwork of tradition with nonconformist modernity. If there is such a genre as 'earthy acoustic pop' or 'funk-folk' these guys are the first rate exponents. If not they've just forged their own style" www.folkwords.com


    "Youth is not wasted on the young when it comes to Chris Ricketts. He has a heart the size of a concert hall, a generous spirit to match and a drive and determination that wills him to win. Which he will." John Tams


    "Finely constructed (original) songs" Steve Knightley (Show Of Hands)


    "Heartfelt, Poignant" Martyn Joseph


    Simple Folk:
    "The subtle arrangements are skillful and make for a pleasant listen." Folker.com, David Hintz
