I am not a scientist,
plinky-plonky,
talking toes,
autumn.
“Wig’s as skilful a picker as a Spanish flamenco master, generating and altering the rhythm of his songs in a way which makes it appealingly difficult to predict where they will go next.”
--------- Jumped Up Pantry Boy
Wig Smith plays a fiendishly complex
21-stringed kora like a dulcimer muted
in velvet with fragile and charming songs about snow and toes.
-------- venue magazine review from a gig at the folkhouse in september 2008
The tiny unofficial Eco-Stage in Queen’s Square saw captivating impromptu shows from a whole plethora of Bristol folksters like Suzy Condrad, Rachael Dadd, Wig Smith and Jetfly.
--------- Suit yourself magazine review of bristol harbour festival, August 2008.
The timbre which is close to the harp and is clear, makes blankly good feeling. With also the singing of Wig Smith which is done and is cute.
It compares, if is, removing the album of former times,
when bosom oak everyone and others watching,
like feeling the work…With you will say?
It is the music where in any case good nostalgia wraps kindly.
