..‘Rob Sharples is an absolute guitar virtuoso The influences of the likes of John Martyn and Nick Drake are apparent, but his own sense of identity is growing with every month that goes by.’
Moles club
..‘‘The next guest, Rob Sharples, was a fiendishly good acoustic guitar man (he played a wicked take on that famous Davy Graham tune - Anji) he also had a voice to kill for. His words reminded me a bit of Radiohead before Thom got a bit too wingefully self-indulgent…lovely metaphysical descriptions.’’
Rotten Meats music website
..‘This EP delivers an astonishingly assured and scarily brilliant collection of literate songs; performed with delicacy and passion… a stunning debut…watch out for more from Rob Sharples in 2007. In the meantime, this EP is essential. Buy it NOW.’
MERCURY MOON
..An outstanding EP of acoustic songs with intelligent lyrics.. A real gem which sees Sharples showcasing real talent..
ROOM THIRTEEN
..This is without a doubt the best EP I have heard in years. I have not been so excited by an artist since I first heard Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. A true gem. ..
i-TUNES REVIEW
..With his shock of curly hair and winsome good looks Sharples has not only the look, not only the talent, but also that indefinable essence of greatness about him. Much, much bigger stages are predicted..
TERRASCOPE
..Rob shows age and an ability lacking in many of the musicians of our time. His intricate guitar lines are incredibly detailed without ever detracting from the sweet melody of each song, and are equally weighted with the wonderful imagery created by his lyrics, which show a young intelligent man way beyond his years. I strongly recommend it...
AMAZON
..Definitely an artist to watch for the future. I, certainly, will be spreading the word..
CONTACT MUSIC
..Possibly the most talented solo artist in the south west, Rob has made a hell of a name for himself as a great live musician..
