FEEDBACK

Mike McCarthy - Producer, Manuka Studios, Orewa, Auckland, NZ
“I’ve been producing & recording Doug’s music since I arrived in New Zealand in 1998 – his composing style & songwriting techniques are quite unique and it’s great to see this website showcasing not only his talents, but also the many musicians and singers he’s worked with over the years. Thanks for all the wonderful hours spent working on your music Doug!”

Eva Simontacchi - Singer/Musician/Composer, Milan Italy
“I have been following Doug Thomas for years now, and even though we’ve never met I consider him an amazing human being and friend. I love listening to his music, because it’s uplifting and has very good vibes. He’s creative and he writes songs one can relate to. So, all the very best to you and your music Doug!”

Mike Walker - New Zealand Jazz Icon and President of Jazz and Blues Club, Auckland NZ
“Al very good mate if not similar. I liked "Wait", Name of Love" "Taranaki Skies", but they have been wonderfully recorded - of course loved the ones Lawrence (Larry Morris) did. Cheers Spike.”

Mike Randle - lead guitarist for Arthur Lee and LOVE since the early 1990’s and continues on to this day with LOVE Revisited.  Soon to tour the UK again shortly.

Gary Stern – Former owner of Silvery Moon Studio, LA and Head Engineer for Little Richard and Sly Stone (Sylvester Stewart) of Sly and the Family Stone
