"Phil Hopkins is a veritable virtuoso on the chromatic harmonica" - Jazz Journal September 2018 review of Scarborough Jazz Festival

"Mr Hopkins is an exceptional harmonicist and his music is essential to anyone who loves the instrument." Bandcamp review of Harmonica Paradiso by S.J.Black.

"Wonderful concert at Egham and District Music Club today. Philip Hopkins and Lindsay Bridgwater were superb on chromatic harmonica and piano. They played a wonderful variety of music and catered for every taste. Their rendering of Cinema Paradiso brought tears to my eyes with the sheer beauty of the music and interpretation! Another lovely Sunday afternoon of entertainment." Egham concert audience review Facebook, January 2023.

"Atherton's players- including...Phil Hopkins's harmonica - revelled in both the music's difficulties (delivered with panache) and the requirements of their "other" instruments".
