“Manchester’s ethnic & cultural diversity is strongly represented within the contemporary roots oeuvre of musician Aidan Jolly who is based in the city. The poetic lyricism is undeniable. Starkly different songs do a fine thought provoking job on this topic" -

Aidan is a fine folk singer, and has a great gift of crafting a good song" - Maverick

“..an immensely accomplished product, especially so for a debut singer-songwriter. Aidan's extremely capable in both departments, and his work is enviably genre-defying, covering many bases: Polished" - NET RHYTHMS
