An evening of friendly, heart-warming geordie country swingy music which sent everyone home with a smile on their face.- Stu Nimmo- Live Theatre review - May 14
Music doesn’t have to be complicated to be great; as this new Shipcote & Friends album proves- Alan Harrison - No Depression - June 14
Shipcote and Friends was a really lovely start to Sunday on the Drystone Stage – the perfect music for a sunny afternoon – mellow and smooth like a fine oak-aged whisky. A great selection of engaging songs, very tastefully arranged, and which the Drystone audience loved. A real connoisseur’s band. Thanks again - Dave Camlin Solfest - Aug 2013
I thoroughly enjoyed Shippy & friends Ireby Fest set. Lovely relaxing music -and a skilled bunch of musicians too. Phil Simpson - Regent Music - May 2013
I thought the piped music was sounding rather good coming from The Barn stage & when I passed, it was Shipcote & Friends playing live. More than a match for any of the Festival artists. Paul Spencer - Maverick Festival MD July 2014
