?Truly exquisite.?
(The Guardian)


?All the slide guitars skills of Robert Johnson?
(Electric Ghost)


?What power and originality and freshness, a wonderful thing!?
(Tom Robinson - BBC 6 Music)


?John Fairhurst is worth every bit of praise he's already garnered. Capable of creating jaw- dropping moments live, he is possibly the finest guitarist you'll ever see - and even better than that he is able to couple those skills with brilliant songwriting and a gravel-swilled belter of a voice. Search him out and prepare to be stunned.?
(Chris Long - BBC Manchester)


?As gripping as it is totally different. Trembling chords rise slowly out of the speakers like dark mist on a bayou, while Fairhurst?s Bangkok blues hang in the background, sliding in and out with steely precision.?
(Bearded Magazine)


?Joys of Spring is a truly great achievement. It?s an album of outstanding creativity, lush eastern melodies, and at its heart, John?s unbridled zest for life.?
(Piccadilly Records - Record of the week)


?This was what the Old Crow Medicine Show would sound like if Ravi Shankar became their musical director; a drum circle-cum-barn dance. Newcomers to John Fairhurst certainly won?t be forgetting his name in a hurry.?
(Manchester Music)
