“Folk z najwyższej półki Czwartek, 31 Maja 2012 08:46 W rawickiej Performance Cafe odbył się koncert, na którym wystąpił Brytyjczyk Weybourne „Chester" Bingley. Śpiewał klasyczny folk, akompaniując sobie na gitarze i harmonijce ustnej. Pieśniarz potrafił wytworzyć specyficzny, nostalgiczny klimat, kojarzący się z dokonaniami lat 70. Inspiracją dla jego twórczości są klasycy folku jak np. Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Donovan czy Peter Seeger. Żałować jedynie należy, że tak mało widzów przyszło na koncert. Mają czego żałować! The singer was able to create a unique, nostalgic atmosphere, evocative of the achievements of the 70s The inspiration for his works are folk classics such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Donovan.

“Very likeable song because of its smart, poignant lyrics and well crafted melodies, and definitely well produced to boot. The chiming guitar sounds very clear indeed and the pleasant rhythm has a nice, natural, focused flow to it. It seems you have great power in the way that you use the guitar, the riff was appetising, and added to a good, mature vocal it leaves a deep feeling and impression. Something you can relax with a beer and by the fireplace at night. ”

“Just wanna say a big thank you for entertaining me and my other half Jane as we sat and had a cream tea in the cafe at Polperro the other week. Your music was great - & we really enjoyed listening to you. I used to be in a band - playing keyboards many years ago - and you played some of the same stuff that we used to do so was nice to reminisce !!!”

“The Assortment known simply as Chester has had quite a spurt on recently, playing gigs in his own right in venues as diverse as Cornwall, the Midlands, the North and Scotland. Best known for his portrayal of Tiza G in the Assortments video of the same name, Chester has just completed filming on location at Grays Beach in Essex for Kunt & The Gang's latest promo video Shaven Haven, with James Buckley (Jay from C4's The Inbetweeners). ”

— Paul Program, TVA News

“Have Guitar- Will Travel. Chester is an all-round singer/acoustic guitarist from Morecambe and great fun too. Getting up on stage on a quiet Friday night can be a bit daunting however Chester has plenty of experience to carry it off and entertained... As an encore, Neil Young’s all-time classic “Rockin’ In The Free World”, a superb finish and much appreciated by the regulars. It would be good to see Chester back again and entertaining a larger audience. ”

— The Editor, King's Head Louth

“Its about time we had more people playing music on the streets of Knutsford. This is Chester ( Chester Acoustic) he traveled from Lancashire to check out the music scene here in Knutsford. You might see him playing at the Lord Eldon soon… get him BOOKED! ...”

— Jonathan Farber, Knutsford Times
