**** Broadway Baby “a highly skilled guitarist”
Geoff Robb’s The Music of Trees was a much needed meditative experience. In this busy world, we often don’t give ourselves enough time to pause, and truly lean into the present moment. As trees watch the world and seasons go by, sometimes for hundreds or thousands of years, Robb’s timeless and masterful performance reminded us to step back, and follow their lead to take a moment for ourselves.

Thorington Theatre
“This show is spell-binding and mesmerising in every way – don’t miss the opportunity to see it.”
BBC Southern Counties
“Very talented – makes the guitar sound like 2 guitars and a piano”
The Argus
“Geoff Robb – an outstanding guitarist. Every piece he played was impeccable and his innovative technique was of the highest standard.”
Bill Smith, The Latest
“Geoff Robb is one of the best guitarists you will ever see. If you love Davy Graham, Martin Carthy, Dick Gaughan or Richard Thompson you’ll love Geoff. Plus he writes the most beautiful original tunes. … melodic yet other worldly. His ‘Music of Trees’ is just that, as you can almost hear the crackle of the burning bonfire as Geoff takes you to the forest and his concert around the campfire.”
Steve Henwood, Bath Fringe Festival
“Whilst undoubtedly being a player of great skill and control, Geoff is also refreshingly approachable and informal in concert. Like a folk performer he’s happy to tell the stories behind some of the tunes, and has a sense of humour. There is nothing remotely off-putting about a solo guitar recital when it’s Geoff Robb.”
Peter Owen Jones, Vicar of Firle, Glynde & Beddingham & BBC Television Presenter
“It was an absolute privilege to host Geoff Robb at Glynde Church. The place was completely packed to hear someone who is rightly described as one of the top guitarists in the UK.
So much of our musical culture is centred in urban environments at the expense of the rural population who often have to travel long distances to hear music.”
Barry Smith, Co-ordinator, Festival of Chichester
“Geoff Robb’s versatile guitar playing delighted the Chichester festival audience – it’s always a pleasure to listen to his varied and well chosen music.”
Linda, Live and Local Rural Touring Promoter, Derbyshire
“The Music of Trees, a delightful musical concept written and performed by Sussex-based guitarist Geoff Robb, provided ninety minutes of wonderful entertainment for the villagers of Dalbury Lees, Derbyshire. The work comprises ten short instrumental pieces, each dedicated to a particular tree, with the music segued by amusing and informative monologue from the amiable performer. In truth, our audience assembled with little idea of what to expect but left enthralled and with resting heartbeats considerably reduced, such was the relaxing power of the performance. An unexpected treat.”
