"...he takes standard folk-like forms back to their essence so that the grains of the genre are important rather than the veneer of fashion. His touch is deft and almost feminine…almost imperceptible until you realise that the songs inhabit you…the melancholy of out of season loneliness…”

“Folk influenced pop carved out of wooden guitars and ivory keys, swelling melodies and a healthy vocal performance. This feels solid and ephemeral at once”
BRIGHTON SOURCE magazine
"Vingoe has effortlessly created the perfect soundtrack for lovers : the beginnings of a beautiful dusk, and the deep racing emotions of a passionate heart. Definitely worth a listen"
- GARY MUNDAY, ACOUSTIC MAGAZINE (Jul 01, 2009)
"Vingoe makes folk pop songs with occasional nods to rock but he has such a great ear for melody and a beautiful warm voice, that I find ‘Spare Buttons And Bones’ hard to resist...this is definitely another addition to my admittedly limited “Great Folk Albums” list. "
- THE WEBLOG OF LEONARD'S LAIR
"Great White Hope” and “Boy Morning World” is a stunning exhibition of what Vingoe can do both vocally and musically. All in, it’s a great collection."
- ALLAN BAILLIE, SUBBA-CULTCHA.COM
"'Spare Buttons And Bones' brings together Vingoe’s...limited edition EPs...its accomplished song craft deserves to garner him wider exposure and a larger audience. Dealing primarily in melancholic yet uplifting folk... this is a collection full of sublime melodies that radiate a wounded pathos."

BLACK ROBOT Debut CD!! Featuring the singles "Baddass", "Cocaine" and "I'm in Love".
ALREADY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.com!!! & available in iTunes so grab you digital copy now.
Early reviews say: From the opening AC/DC inspired groove of “Cocaine” , a wickedly arranged cover of J.J. Cale’s narcotic classic, Black Robot serves instant notice with their self-titled debut that not only do they have it, they damn near destroyed the laboratory to get it. This mechanical/musical beast was conceived and constructed for the divine, ultimate destruction of brain cells, ear fibers and false perceptions about what it truly means to rock as if our very survival as a race depended on it. -Lonn Friend
