“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED“ Danny Kyle Open Stage, 2015, Celtic Connections
“Gary´s songs, voice, guitar playing and stage presence all convinced Cathryn Craig and myself, that we were watching a great artist at work.“ Brian Willoughby (Ex Strawbs)
“Gary Anderson has a warm and easy-going stage presence and he writes songs that stick with you“
Brooks Williams (State of the Union)
“Gary Anderson is the consummate all round performer. His version of the James Keeleghan classic, “Cold Missouri Waters” is even better than the original by Keeleghan himself. Gary is also developing rapidly as a Songwriter; his song based on the Neil M Gunn Novel, “Butchers Broom” not only faithfully reflects the spirit of the original work, but transforms it into a very fine song.” Ken Bruce, Montrose Folk Club
“Gary played a blinder - a bunch of engaging songs from his own pen, complemented here and there by a tasty cover.“ Paddy Bort, Edinburgh and Wee Folk Clubs
“A million thanks you went down a treat and your sets were awesome“ Gregor Wood, Scottish House Folk Festival
