"Pete explores various moods and influences
with equal respect for folk jazz and celtic roots with his delicate
fingerstyle technique. His love for the acoustic guitar and it's
ability for nuance and subtlety is showcased in this album of fresh
and highly original compositions. Enjoy"
Ralph McTell

"Pete Berryman, and his contemporary Bert
Jansch, still have plenty to offer us in the 21st century. Perhaps it’s
the simple acoustic style that he employs, free from the distractions
of other instrumentation or vocals, but it’s hard to believe that a period
of thirty years lies between some of these compositions when they all
sound so vibrant and new. ." Acoustic

"This collection of instrumentals is simply wonderful. The opening
tune, "Columbine," recalls fingerstyle jazz more than the British
fingerstyle school typified by Graham, Jansch or Renbourn. In fact, his
instrumentals suggest an underlying narrative, in keeping with his achievements
as a songwriter and in other venues, including theater and film. Berryman's
rich chord voicings and gentle attack resembles some of John James'
instrumental work from the 1970s. "PS Waltz 2" approaches dissonance
and is an effective, if pensive, closer to this rare jewel of a CD."
