About Alex Highton
I live in a small village called Woodditton where I write songs and sometimes I even sing them. I don't know what else to say. So if you want to know anything please feel free to ask.
Praise for "The Woodditton Wives Club"
"...a Great British Album.....that wouldn't be out of place on the Transatlantic Label........charmingly individual........(it) exists in an idyll not a long ramble from the Village Green Preservation Society, though perhaps a little more cosmopolitan.......(an) album to slip on and enjoy from year to year..." - Sicmagazine.net
"4.5 out of 5.........Each song feels like a little story that you can almost see unfolding as you listen.....His voice is light, airy and elastic, and the instrumentation (he plays everything himself) is buoyant and spacious. When you put this on it feels like he’s right there in the room.....a pile of groovy songs with a latter day Beatle-esque warmth and Ron Sexsmith intrigue." - Gonzo Magazine
"Song writing ability, he has in spades. Patience to allow himself to express his feelings, he has in shovels......Alex is brilliant and I will say this to you good folks… If he's doing a venue near you, then go and see him. If it's vaguely near you, go and see him. If you're in a different country, then simply enjoy his sound on MySpace and tell him how lovely it is." - Living Athiest
"Al Highton creates music that transports you to long hot summer days and hazy mornings. With toes dipped in psychedelia, folk and pure pop......A sublime and hypnotic sounding collection of songs.....a singer/songwriter destined for impressive things; this is a gorgeously realised first impression" - UK MUSIC SEARCH
"One of the most beautiful set of songs I've heard for a long time. Alex Highton is, in my opinion set for very big things. A must have album for any discerning music lover. Definitley a name to watch out for...." - The Waiting Room Error FM.
