“Beautiful, deep, and soulful, The Boatman is a winner on every level.” – Blair Jackson (Acoustic Guitar Magazine Nov/Dec 21)
“A work of effortless Celtic Magic… This truly solo album marks Gibb out as a world class finger style player… an absolute must for your collection… Listen to Gibb and be inspired, his examples here are truly exemplary” – Seán Laffey (Irish Music Magazine)
“If there can be such a thing as the perfect solo fingerstyle guitar album, The Boatman is surely a candidate.” – © David Pedrick (Minor7th.com)
“There’s so much more that could be said about this work. It’s poetic. Nuanced. Dynamic. Sensational. The Boatman is a fingerstyle guitar masterpiece, and Steve Gibb is the brilliant mind at the helm. Do your ears (and soul) a favor – put this album on and allow yourself to get lost in the otherworldly, ethereal, jaw-dropping melodies and compositions that are its absolute foundation.” – Jess Chizuk (The Ark of Music)
“That is wonderful! Your perfomance sounds amazing good!!! I like your guitar version very much.” – Michael Korb (co-writer of Highland Cathedral)
“You made a lovely version and I really like your sound and playing.” – Roger Tallroth (Composer of Josefin’s Dopvals)
