about

“Raucous or contemplative or impressionistic, Old Spot seem to be exploring the music of an America that never was, a dream America in which the complex streams of African, European and Native influences are braided and rebraided, always revealing new combinations and possibilities. I think the Crooked Jades must live nearby.” – Ben Paley

“The sound is fresh, modern and spacious, but this remains traditional old time music played with a deep respect and a clear connection to the original recordings. Old Spot is an uplifting melting pot of different approaches which merge seamlessly."
– Old Time News

“Entrancing & hypnotic... music to lose yourself in”
– Americana UK

“Two exceptionally talented musicians... just the right amount of raw edge and intimate excitement... sheer bliss! There's energy and commitment in abundance on this exhilarating collection, which sure hits the spot...”
– Folk London ★★★★★

“…every tune a delight… Old Spot’s music comes from a different time and space, but has found new life in the hands of people who value the heritage…”
– FATEA Magazine

“Wonderfully atmospheric”
– Songlines

“Their mastery of idioms is compelling, and the elegance, fluency, yet unpretentiousness of Old Spot acts as a perfect vehicle. I find the range of material exhilarating...while the subtle commitment to each track itself is reassuring.”
– RnR Magazine ★★★★
