The tradition of featuring Danny Kyle award winners is a shrewd one and this year's victors "Wingin' It" were no disappointment. Dazzling interplay between guitar and mandolin and mezmerizing jazzy riffs are the band's hallmark and they had the balls to knock out a fantastic acoustic version of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" to a folkie crowd champing at the Fisher-bit - respect! - Garden Sessions
Next up were Oban-based duo Wingin’ It, winners of a Danny Award at this year’s Celtic Connections Open Stage, uniting the guitar-picking talents of Adam Bulley – who doubles on mandolin – and Chas Mackenzie. Maintaining the night’s keynote of variety, they drew tunes from across the spectrum of jazz, folk and Americana, inventively arranged and played with terrific brio and flair. - Sue Wilson - The Scotsman
These two young men do not just play the guitar (and mandolin) extremely well - they also entertain in a warm style which certainly endeared themselves to their audience in the Birnam House Hotel, where their wide range of styles included jazz, classics and pop, sometimes all rolled into one..........the end result is that of two musicians in tune with each other and at one with their guitars. - Alison Anderson - Perthshire Advertiser
With a few more public performances and a coveted ‘Danny’ award from this year’s Celtic Connections to their name, they returned to the Fiddle Tree wearing a new mantle of confidence and an even broader repertoire than before, while retaining their joie de vivre for playing live.
These two young guys are true virtuoso performers; their guitarwork (and in Adam’s case, mandolin also) is breathtaking, and draws from numerous influences: jazz, classical, Americana, Pink Floyd.
Wingin’ It! are not afraid to push musical boundaries.
