HONEST, TUNEFUL AND REFRESHING. SURELY ANOTHER HIT COLLECTION FROM LONGMAN RECORDS".Review of 'Across the Land' by FATEA (Cambridge Folk Festival): "Simon Stewart's 'Across the Land' has more than a touch on manyana about it. It's filled with images of life spent in the shade with red wine and tapas. The album feels like a tour of the Med in an open top sports car. Wandering along the cost on a journey that's far more important than arriving. Stopping off to sun dry tomatoes, feel the grapes beneath the feet and perhaps pit an olive or two. It's an album that lets the cares go by as responsibility vanishes over the horizon behind you. We all have to escape occasionally and 'Across the Land' is a key to the lock". Time Out (London) describes his music as "wonderfully melodic, hugely enjoyable stuff". A review from Barking Spider suggests that Simon writes songs "that just cry out to be heard in some smoky bar on the Left-Bank of the Seine". According to Des de Moor, the London promoter, he "is a brilliant new songwriter with an evocative, smooth but powerful voice and a line in unusual, appealingly melodic, inventive, sometimes dark and always heartfelt songs".Simon checks this site regularly, so feel free to contact him here.

'Across the Land' will particularly appeal to people prone to wander-lust and drawn to the Mediterranean sun. Or maybe just nostalgic for their misspent gap year.
