One performer who's done it himself in a most gobsmacking way is Alastair Artingstall. A superb guitarist, and writer of the most exquisite, well-crafted songs, he's just come up with one of the most amazing self-financed albums I've heard. Annie Windley – Ret Rhythm |

Hi Alastair, Just found myself humming destiny falls and was wondering how you were... sounds like things are going really well and other people are enjoying your album an awful lot – its been a while since we were drinking tea and reading your first review! Its also been a bloody long time since any rockshops/blagging freebees from you/drinking sherry with you so I hope you're really well and life is treating you very kindly – I'm still on the same old number if you're ever in Brighton. Loads of love, kate xxxx
Kate Benjamin - Aug 06
Very, very nice indeed. Came across your music via a MySpace friend. Are you playing live in the UK sometime soon? Might even dust off the wallet and buy the album! BTW - you should check out a band called Marshmallow (ex-Mutton Birds). Think you'd like the sound. Cheers and thanks for the yummy chunes, Lynne
Lynne Mendoza - Jul 06
Hi Alastair! I want to say thank you. I met you last night after the Keane gig in Boston. (Carol's friend) Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me, and for your cd with the artwork and all. I listened all the way home. I can't wait to hear your next album! You are a real gentleman and I wish you all the success in America that you deserve! Nancy June 06

Hi Alistar, I have recently bought your cd (thanks to discovering you through the Keane web site!) and I want you to know that I play it every day, loads of times, I just love it! I love the lyrics/melody to your songs, you have such a beautiful voice....'The way that we feel' makes me feel quite emotional. Anyway, if you are at Eden with Keane and I see you I will say all this to you in person! Carol

This Album is without a doubt in my top three favs of this last 10 years or so, not a track on it I would skip. A nicer bloke you couldn't meet, one of my top wishes for this year is to see Alastair live.
Gina Mcleod - May 05

I've been listening to Alastair's CD since I met him last Saturday. Is it addictive or what? I wish I had the eloquence of Annie Windley (above) and could express what I think. "Superb" and "exquisite" should be underlined in her critique. Thank you so much, Alastair Isabel (from Spain)
Isabel - Mar 05
What a beautiful track 'Destiny Falls' is.
Massimo Martella - Mar 05
Frankly, when I made up a list of my favourite popular music albums of all time, the debut by this artist appeared in the Top One (or thereabouts). But I'm sure he could do better :0)
Little Titchfield Street W1 - Apr 03
Dear Alastair, I have your cd and think it's brilliant! Can't stop playing it. The lyrics are just so good. I wish you every success with it. I hope to see you live soon. Meanwhile anyone reading this... you must buy the cd!! All best wishes, Molly.
