“I so love the recording you did of The Island of Woods! You're a beautiful player and I couldn't be more delighted hearing your rendition.” - Liz Carroll

"Steve Gibb is a skilled guitarist and composer of solo works, but he's more than that. He is remarkably open to the works of other composers and songwriters, which he's sequenced seamlessly among his own works. Guitarists and casual listeners will love this album.“ - Patrick Ragains (minor7th.com)

"Steve's playing is exemplary and his choice of material is spot on. Highly recommended to all guitar fans." - George Geddes (Pipeline Instrumental Review)

"Dive into the realm of audible magic with Steve Gibb’s 'Island of Woods' - an exhibition of virtuoso guitar brilliance filled with grace, grief, and a staggering emotional depth that resonates long after the last note.

"Island of Woods is an album of flat-out, incontestable virtuoso guitar playing – an album filled with brilliantly reworked standards and a sprinkling of bright, springy, and dramatic originals.

Is Island of Woods a good album? No, it’s an AMAZING album with a grieving, gracious guitar spilling more emotion than it has any right to. It’s truly a vessel for the brilliance of its player, and I still can’t shake the 30-billion feelings it soaked me with. Highly recommended? OhmyGod – YES!" - Jess Chuzik (The Ark of Music)

This is my second solo fingerstyle album featuring my latest arrangements of traditional Celtic tunes along with some more original pieces plus some special arrangements of music by other composers.

Exciting, dramatic and hugely inventive. Dan's album is full of unexpected turns and is musically engaging from start to finish. Quite simply one of the best Celtic recordings I have heard. Steve Gibb

One of Stephen's finest recordings in my opinion. Evocative original compositions played on a classical guitar tuned to CGDGCD. I play some of these in my concerts and they always go down well. Steve Gibb
