"Flat out... you have to hear this great musician... I'm blown away"  Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane

"Not only can Toby play all styles of the blues, but he's a remarkable story-teller as well. And you'll be surprised by what else he'll pull out of his hat to please his audiences. He may come out with an arrangement of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' or 'Ain't Misbehavin' followed by an Irish fiddle tune medley (on guitar), a couple of rousing singalongs and top it all off with his arrangement of the Allman Brothers tune 'Little Martha,' Whipping Post' or even a traditional bluegrass tune." He takes the audience on one heck of a ride and leaves them smiling all the way home !!"  - The Sunday Times.
