| “Graham is a combination of Eric Clapton, Edie Van Halen and Hendrix. I love the way Graham plays, especially when he lets go and opens up.”SIXTO (SUGARMAN) RODRIGUEZ |

| “Graham Gillot leads the pack of a new-wave of young session guitarists – this time out of the Cape. As a fine exponent of his instrument, Graham is able to match whatever requirement is made of him - in the highly-demanding, stressful conditions of contemporary recording studio schedules. Across all musical genres – from Latin and Flamenco through to scorching rock – Graham rises to the occasion – delivering fine, accurate and passionate guitar wizardry. Indeed – a guitar for all seasons.” PATRIC VAN BLERK – CAPE TOWN SOUND |

| ‘’I was invited to attend the Rodriquez show in Cape Town where Acoustica was the opening act for the evening. The musical genius on stage was brilliantly portrayed by all 4 of the band members of Acoustica, especially Graham. No fancy effects or displays just good all-round acoustic style music.’’ STEFAN ESTERHUIZEN – ENTERTAINMENT CO-ORDINATOR Golden Valley Casino - Sun International |
