Arts Reviews Edinburgh describe the experience of the "Up Close With The Blues" show PERFECTLY in this AMAZING REVIEW.......
“Blues music as it is meant to be heard - in a small setting, close to the audience, not on a huge stage where the audience are small shapes on some distant horizon. The blues is full of warmth and humour, and it is this same personal warmth and humour that Giles Robson so effortlessly brings to stage with him to put his audience at ease and connect with them immediately. A virtuoso display of just what a range and depth of music and emotion the blues-harmonica is capable of in the right hands. Giles also is a fine blues vocalist, and for me it is always the human voice that is ultimately the defining sound of The Blues.” *****5 stars Arts Reviews Edinburgh
