Mark Harrison  is one of my favourite performers on the London circuit, and we have done many memorable gigs together. He writes:

The other week I had Panama Dave Parrett on the bill at my regular night at the Green Note. For those who don't know, he's an instrumental guitarist of great taste and skill. He gave me his new album Five that night. I've been listening to it everywhere I go and it's my opinion that anyone with any taste in music should get it.

​

Quite frankly, it's an absolute stone masterpiece. It's got every shade and every tone of folksy/bluesy/ roots/jazzy music, it fits every mood. It has a fantastic and well-chosen array of instruments, brilliantly played, including some stunning sax playing, mandolin, recorders and cello, along with Dave's great playing of his own compositions. For me there are echoes of Jansch/Renbourn/Pentangle here and there, and even a smattering of the great Moondog. The production is top class and the whole thing is a delight.

Get it now.
