“I posted a quote from Ralph McLean from Ulster BBC and he said “Great songs and heartfelt lyrics” and I think he’s under selling it. This gentleman is a master songwriter and an amazing performer.” (Jay Taylor, Music Venue Trust, 2025)

“Great songs and heartfelt lyrics” (Ralph McLean. Ulster BBC)

“Shimeon’s music is subtle mid-tempo country… It underpins his songs brilliantly and delivers a solid base from which to weave his spells. It’s a measure of his talent that ‘Masquerade’ delivers solid songs, rather than weighty sermons.” (Chris Long, BBC)

“There’s no box where this music comfortably sits, the closest falls around Cash’s last recordings. And this is why, if there was any justice in the land, (it) should land him a slot or two of National air play, cos yet again we have a young immensely talented, Brit singer/songwriter hammering down doors for recognition.”
