Jed Grimes has a spectacular musical pedigree. He is not only a wonderful songwriter, but also someone with a charismatic quality that shines right through his music. His comfort and maturity stand out a mile: inventive and thoughtful.

Jed Grimes brought his usual mix of great guitar, good songs well sung and Northern charisma to the Festival.  He delighted a packed concert marquee with his solo spot , and surprised another packed marquee when he joined The Doonan Family on stage for a blinding rendition of 'Bring It On Home'.  Great stuff as always, delivered with his usual charm:an asset to any festival!

Lately - finally - a few young bloods are taking folk music somewhere genuinely new and exhilarating. Freshly outed as the north-east music scene's secret weapon, Jed Grimes carries the same bright torch for the established generation.

It’s been a while since I heard an album this striking – perhaps as long ago as Sting’s Ten Summoner’s Tales. A resounding tour de force.

Jed's skill at arranging often familiar material in new and stylish ways is never in doubt. I've lived with this CD for a month or two now, and every time I return to it I'm delighted anew by the constantly changing, ever alert and bright-eyed instrumental textures, with acoustic and electric elements deliciously counterpointed. And stylistically of course, Jed's at home with all manner of musical influences, which he integrates into these textures to positively serve the songs.
