Reviews
"The Australian Songwriter's Association monthly Melbourne showcase of acoustic talent, is proud to present....one of the most vibrant performers to emerge from South Africa since Jonty Rhodes, hard rocking fingerpicking maestro Neville Kaye, bringing his sensitive side and six string to show us what tough guys do on Wednesday nights." - Inpress Magazine
"Neville, Brothers! Originating from South Africa, Neville Kaye brings the fusion of rock and folk that to create a genuine sound. There is an underlying theme that run’s throughout Neville’s catalogue – belief that honesty can break down barriers and truth can reveal beauty, although sometimes scarred." - Beat
"Full of the funky blues, Neville lays down smooth grooves with plenty of delta & flemmenco style lead guitar intermixed with jazz fueled fusion, and lots of kickback. the music takes a definite alternative feel, and the vocal timbre is similar to a whiskey worn Elvis Costello or tenored Shawn Mullins." - Underground Magazine
