“Any tune could warrant a mention given the accomplishment displayed on Apparitions” – R2 ★★★★
“A deeply personal, meaningful and enjoyable debut album from a promising British artist” Maverick ★★★★
“An impressive debut album from the Midlands musician, who has a neat fingerstyle technique and a sweet voice” – The Daily Telegraph
Chris’ trademark solo live sound is at times likened to the magnitude of a full orchestra to only moments later pull audiences to the very edge of their seats to soak in the delicate spider-like touch of his fingerstyle guitar playing.
The critically acclaimed debut album ‘Apparitions’ sailed into The Telegraph’s top 70 folk albums of 2015, while national music press heavyweights such as Acoustic Magazine, fRoots, R2, Maverick and Folk Radio UK encouraged readers to keep a close eye. Since winning Bristol Folk Festival’s 2014 ‘Isambard Folk Award’, Chris’ national presence has grown exponentially, gracing BBC radio airwaves and the stages of top UK folk festivals.
A truly singular and innovative artist of the new British Folk Scene; Chris Cleverley is a name to remember.
