"Beautifully crafted songs with bite and edge"- Mind, Body & Boogie festival. "Great guitar work" - Chronicle Newspapers. "Powerful lyrics and absorbing melodies" - Nigel Stonier. "In all honesty the closest I've seen in recent times to a passionate vocal like this (John Martyn) was Jonathan Tarplee and The BlueYellows", "Great..passionate vocals, live music goodness!;- The Hop Pole. "Fine, powerful and melodic guitaring" - F. Scott Corrigan. “I recently saw you perform live and was really inspired” (email). fantastic guitar playing!" (facebook comment).

Jonathan has performed solo shows supporting the likes of Gilmore Roberts, Nick Harper,  Attila the Stockbroker and playing venues mainly around the North including The Middlewich Folk & Boat Festival, The Greystones, Liverpool International Festival, The International Eisteddfod (Folk-Friday), The Lomax, The Nantwich Words & Music Festival, Manchester's Northern Quarter and so on. He has also written music used by the BBC and Surfers Against Sewerage! 

His song No Tobacco, No Jesus, an infectious earworm with his  band The Blue Yellows, became the summer anthem of 6 Towns Radio before Jonathan re-emerged with his solo album as a contemporary, edgy folk-troubadour with a soulful intensity.

Sounds like (according to others); Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, The Dandy Warhols, John Martyn, Neil Young, The The.
