Don't Quote Me...

Phil Hare is a f------genius.
Ian Prowse, Amsterdam/Pele

Tasteful, poignant singing, interesting self penned material. Make a point of seeing Phil Hare. 
Cockermouth Folk Club

A passionate and skilled performer. 
Paul Brett

His guitar playing is dazzling. He has a rich voice and impassioned delivery. 
Broadbeat

If folk song is history from underneath then Phil's songs are today's broadsides. 
Ian Wells: Daily Telegraph

'A Stranger I Came' is great stuff. Lovely guitar playing, singing and songs.

A brilliantly rounded and entertaining performer.
Tom Newman, (Producer/Engineer Tubular Bells)

A truly mind-bogglingly brilliant guitarist and songwriter - and a very sharp wit too. Marvellous!

Phil's playing is a brilliant fusion of feel and technique.
Gareth Pearson

One of the most distinctive and technically accomplished guitarists on the scene. 
International Guitar Festival

Phil Hare is a guitarist who always sounds at ease with his own playing. He plays tunes at the proper speed, doesn't try to be flash, although his technique is formidable, he also writes songs and sings some from the traditional canon. Go and see for yourself.
Dave Burland

 

Truly one of the greats, one man, one guitar and one hell of a picker.
Tony Sturgill, Kentucky, USA

Excellent voice, guitar work to die for, humorous and engaging rapport with the audience. All in all one very good performance.
Les Worrall. Market Rasen Folk Club

One of the best guitar players on YouTube. 
Village Voice

Fire in the belly material that cuts a caper. 
Rock & Reel

His guitar style must be ranked amongst the greats like Carthy and yet different from the standard folk fingerpicking style.
Swinton Folk Festival
