I have to agree. I can't recollect recenttly seeing talent in such abundance in anyone so young.

He made a few appearances round Weymouth in his summer holidays earlier this year. As a result he has been booked for the mainstage at Wessex for next year. I'd say to anybody - book him while you still can. Once he appears on 'Later with Jools' or somesuch, his appearance will have the same impact on his career as Seasick Steve's appearance did.

Definitely a stellar talent. The only time I can think of seeing someone of the same age with that apparent maturity of talent was when The Spencer Davis Group had their first hit showcasing 17 year old Stevie Winwood.

I certainly enjoyed Sunjay's performances at Roger's Rant in July - congratulations on getting to the semi-finals!

My band had the pleasure to 'support' Sunjay last ~Tuesday at The Green Man, Long Itchington and what a pleasure it was!

His guitar work was outstanding and no one so young, coming from middle-class Stourbridge, should have such mastery of blues guitar work.

I agree, book him soon!.
