Courtney Wild, Programme and Touring Manager of Woodford Folk Festival, Australia
"Ziggy played four shows over the course of the festival week, and we were able to programme him at any time of day as he could hold an audience spellbound morning or night. He was able to play cruisy morning sets and get a crowd revved up in evening party mode. The messages in his songs are aligned with the values of the festival and our audiences – it was an easy connection to make and he was very well received."
Christoph Sprecher - Festival Director of Buskers Chur, Switzerland
"Ziggy is a very talented musician and a very friendly fellow. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to meet him again. He was a great addition to the lineup.”
Tobias Hundertpfund - Director & Owner of Eventagency Zeitenwanderer, Germany
"As a festival organizer, it was very comfortable to work with him. He has a pleasant nature, he is punctual, reliable, prepares his performances very independently and fits in very well with the ensemble of artists."
Rebecca Bottoni - President and Creative Executive Producer of Ferrara Buskers Festival, Italy
"Ziggy McNeill is one of the best soloist guitarists who the Ferrara Buskers Festival had. He has been invited on 2019 and he had a lot of success. His ability to involve the audience by his music is evident and it's excellent his virtuosity with his instrument."
Jan Šinko - Programme Manager and CEO of Pilsen Busking Fest, Czechia
"Ziggy was great part of our festival lineup and we are looking forward to have you here again in the future."
Jana Katić - Program Director of Gradić Fest, Serbia
"His energetic and extremely original way of performing music ranked him among the best performers of the festival. He gave his best for every performance and the audience rewarded him with big applause every time. He played both on the street and on stage."
