Press Quotes
"Truly outstanding performances by two top drawer instrumentalists totally au fait with the music they were recreating."
Lance Liddle, Be-bop Spoken Here
"Dazzling violinist Fisk plays the classic early fiddle jazz of Joe Venuti with guitarist James Birkett."
Guardian Guide, Editor's Picks
"The brilliant Emma Fisk played the (musical) role of Joe Venuti.."
Alyn Shipton, BBC Radio 3
"Sparks never fail to fly when you put these two giants of north east music together and tonight was no exception."
Steve Tulip, Be-Bop Spoken Here
"In a concert packed with moments to savour, just to hear Barker’s recreation of Bix’s sublime solo on ‘Singing the Blues’ was a joy but then so too was violinist Emma Fisk’s recall of Joe Venuti on the small group version of ‘Raggin’ the Scale’, complete with David Horniblow’s bass saxophone and the guitar work of Martin Wheatley."
Peter Vacher, Jazzwize Magazine
"Emma Fisk’s virtuoso playing spellbound the standing room only audience. Guitarist Dr Birkett did all the things – and more! – that the pioneering Eddie Lang committed to disc almost a century ago."
Russell, Be-bop Spoken Here
“ . . the wonderfully agile and focused violinist Emma Fisk filling in for Joe Venuti, who had other commitments”
Michael Steinman, Jazz Lives
