"Fantastic music... The Jigantics were a highlight act"
The Daily Telegraph

"What an amazing band! The Jigantics were fantastic. No wonder the place was packed out. What an absolutely brilliant masterclass in entertainment. The whole gambit of musical styles in a one stop shop. Witty, skilfull and up for a laugh, the Jigantics deserve every success in the future."
Derry, Woodman Folk Club

"Still reeling from the fantastic night at the Folk Club last night with The Jigantics .... this band is making a great impression on the festival scene and goes from strength to strength!"
Banbury Folk Club June 2014

"The Jigantics were brilliant. A refreshing and varied  blend of uptempo songs and  beautifully arranged ballads. Great instrumentation from very talented musicians delivered by a band who had presence.They worked hard to build a strong rapport with the audience. The result; a really enjoyable night with people feeling uplifted having been part of something quite special."
David Francis - Nailsea Folk Club 

"The Jigantics brand of Cajun-kissed folk rockery turned out to be the perfect complement (!!), easing us into a high quality selection of songs ranging from the not-a-dry-eye-in-the-house tear jerker, to the Doc-Martins-to-the-floor outlaw country floor shaker." 
Ken Brown, Square Roots Promotions

"We were so pleased to have The Jigantics play at our club. Tremendous musicianship and breadth of material of different styles, from blues, to modern folk to cajun. There was something for everyone, delivered with style and fun. This band are worth travelling to see and quickly develop a great rapport with the audience. A top quality night. we can't wait to have them back!"
Dave Wood, Ulverston Live Music

"HISTORY is littered with supergroup failures – attempts at putting together a bunch of talented musicians which don’t produce the wonderful outcome you’d expect. But when it does work, something spellbinding can happen and we got our own taste of that at Stratford Folk Club’s latest concert night when The Jigantics topped the bill and played a remarkable set. With a line-up which can generate the kind of rock family tree that used to be turned into a tv show, The Jigantics have fused the disparate talents of its members to hop between styles almost at will – but always with a touch of class. And just as they varied the styles, so they switched between instruments and vocals with no let-up in the impact. There’s foot-tapping feel good, then totally convincing tearjerkers. So there’s the infectiously upbeat Bad Liver and a Broken Heart, which sounds like Shania Twain and a bunch of line dancers gone bad, the very different but equally catchy Swimming Song and the quite hypnotic non-album Curve of My Back, telling the story of a mandolin and surely a ‘shoe-in’ for the next album. The musicianship was as good as you’d expect and the vocals consistently excellent, none more so than Mark Cole’s lead on The Save and the standout moment of the show, Marion Fleetwood’s take on The Valley."
