What They Say…

“Roly is simply the greatest harp player anywhere.”
Tim Thorney – Writer / Producer
“I have worked with Roly Platt for over 30 years in many different musical situations. He is a first class musician and a first class human being. He’s worked for me on a wide variety of recordings (records, jingles, tv shows) and is always an inspiration and a positive influence on whatever project he’s involved with. He is, simply put, one of the best musicians I have ever worked with. He’s blessed with amazing technical skills but he also has great taste, feel and musical instincts that can… Read more
Mike “Pepe” Francis – Guitarist / Producer / Music Director

“When it comes to harmonica I don’t use anybody else, period!”
Orin Isaacs Owner / Music Director – Swing Low Productions Toronto, ON
“I’ve only recently discovered Roly and his fantastic playing. I needed a harp session in a hurry here in the UK, and although half a world away, Roly did the most amazing e-session for me in superquick time, recorded a superb performance, and I now have his number on speed-dial ! I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
Matthew Cang – Guitarist, Writer, Producer Bath, UK
