'Excellent - 4 Stars'

'This is a group of highly skilled musicians making wonderful, beautiful music.'

‘Really really impressed... lovely surprise to be enveloped and overwhelmed by the music... The energy from the three of them onstage together completely blew me away... Layered and dovetail sound... So passionate about what they are doing, it's an amazing thing to watch... I healthly recommend getting to the front so you can be totally wrapped up in the whole thing... Whalebone completely and utterly captivate with their passion and sheer musicianship...'

Brian Gullard - Gryphon (Mar 24, 2009)

'A band of enormous skill and presence... Together they produce melodic and highly attractive music... Free spirited, fast and funky, you can't see the join where trad meets mod... Highly recommended.'

Shropshire Woman Magazine - Peter Wooldridge (2008)

'It's hard to imagine whalebone not setting feet tapping (at the very least) wherever they might be playing... With their deliciously eclectic mixture of folksy - rootsy - worldly - type music. Whalebone are slick enough at what they do to be taken seriously and loose enough to be having so much fun with it that their enthusiasm never fails to rub off on anyone fortunate enough to see them play! Professionalism and a good time! - Rare mix... Recommended..!' 

Barrie Jones - Green Wood Summer Music Festival (2008)
