Shipcote – Local Stars review’s – “Songs That Will Take You on a Lovely Summer’s Evening Trip Somewhere Wonderful“
“The laid back presentation of the songs on this album creates a lovely cosy atmosphere. Some beautiful songs that show Graham Shipcote’s wonderful talent 100%. ”
Freddy Celis, Rootstime /Belgium, July 2021
“Rather lovely and thought provoking tales from the mind of the King of Geordicana. For the uninitiated Shipcote treads a lovely path between Old-Timey Country Music, & gentle singer-songwriter fare.
Alan Harrison, Rocking Magpie, June 2021
