“There are also sections where the mid-eighties Fairport can be detected. Mike switches between violin and keyboards as well as providing backing vocals, while Steve Heath has a wonderful voice and a great stage presence while also adding acoustic guitar and mandolin. Add to that Pete Baker (electric guitar), Simon Clarke (bass) and Dean Creighton (drums) and this is a band that is really worth seeing.”

“As a folkie, I liked the fact that the words came over clearly, but then that’s hardly surprising considering Steve Heath’s big voice. Pete Baker supplies tasteful guitar work, Mike Varty doubles on keyboards and particularly shines with his fiddle work, and the rhythm section of Simon Clarke (bass) and Dean Creighton (drums) underpin some very well worked out arrangements. This is a class band that we’re going to hear and see more of.”

Bob Taverner, The Folk Mag

“The stars of the day were surely The Mighty Rooster. Great musicianship, a vocal masterclass and some of the best original songs I have heard in a long time, melodic and memorable rockier numbers sitting perfectly with poignant folky ballads for the heartbroken.  If you get the chance to see this band, do it!”

The Gargoyle’s Mouth

“A very commercial bent to the folk roots sound, something that surely would gain them a wider audience if only they could get heard by more people.”
