About Me

"Blows a lot of the big boys out of the water.....If Bob Dylan had grown up on Shane Meadows' estate he would sound like this." - Subba-Cultcha magazine

"Uniquely irreverent humour" - This City Magazine

"A sound like the north wind meets Elliot Smith...Young, raw, passionate and talented" - Sandman Magazine

"Nottingham's cross between Woody Guthrie and The Rutles" - LeftLion magazine

"If Whitefinger never hits the big time then the mainstream has missed out on a poetic genius." - Freeq Magazine

"Poetic, swaggering touches of Dylanesque beauty...Whitefinger is an exciting guitar player..." - Nottingham Evening Post
