Bernard Hoskin : "breezy folk-pop that is rich in melody, harmonies and is as catchy as possible, an assured collection seamlessly blending his pleasantly English voice with beautifully seductive African rhythms and melodies"
Rock n Reel Magazne

"It really doesn't get much better than this"
Big Bang Venue, Finsbury Park

"The key point here is that Bernard Hoskin does nothing that you could call crowd pleasing, he does what pleases him and he does it well. By doing it well he ultimately makes an album that's very satisfying and probably pleases far more people. Now that's smart."
Traditional Music Maker Magazine

"Lyrical attention to detail and unusually hypnotic musical
interpretation make this a fine indie product with deep substance"
Independant Songwriter Magazine, USA

Lee Gordon of the Lee Gordon Trio : Go Acoustic favourite...

At the beginning of 2003 Lee put together his three piece band which has finally become known as Lee Gordon Trio. The trio have grown into an extremely tight unit. Darren Woolner (27) on electric and upright bass. Carl Cole (26) on drums is the newest addition to the family. Lee Gordon (27) is the singer-songwriter. His music is his life and soul. To see 'LGT' play is taking a journey into the passionate, raw and emotive songs Lee writes.

His voice is what surprises people the most. He sings each song like its his last, from wailing falsetto, to deep bluesy growls, to soft tear filled whispers. Scary and Unique.

The band light up the stage from the start with Lee fearlessly silencing the crowd with a solo a cappella performance that always shocks, then diving headlong into pounding, raw, alt/rock style workouts with spiralling melodies and precise rhythms. Then theyll step down a gear too the softest acoustic finger-picking pieces and heart wrenching solo songs, pausing for only a second then diving head long into soaring Slide Blues. Lee has a 1970's 12-string acoustic ,which he uses as a slide lap steel in his own individual way blending wailing, growling vocals with stomping melodic blues.

Their style is unique and diverse. Lee's songwriting has developed into a passionate, 'trend-ignoring' and ever-developing sound. The instruments they love, the boards of the stage and often audience ears, take a pounding as they disappear into the music!
