Say Dyanne and Jan-Christian of Potter's Daughter, "The huge contribution of Simon's playing to our music, together with the depth of his artistry and vision simply cannot be understated or exaggerated. He added a completely new dimension to each song. He is also down to earth, such a joy to work with!"
