“Arno Spires is up there with the greats”
Ralph Simon
“Arno Spires is a musician and songwriter of rare distinction. I had worked closely with him in the early phase of his professional career, recognizing that he had a rare and original ability as a songwriter and outstanding rock and pop guitar player. I was first exposed to his musical skill and versatility when he was the leader of a rock band. He has always exhibited great tenacity and an ability to be aware of emerging musical tastes and trends. He grew to be ever-more proficient in the recording studio and in the past years has exhibited a strong ability as a contemporary songwriter, whose songs in the pop and rock and dance genres are making a mark, with top 10 chart positions. I firmly believe in his creative and musical strengths, and the fact that he is recognized amongst experienced musicians, as one of the best guitarists and guitar stylists in the United Kingdom. With such a deep wellspring of talent, Arno will continue to be respected and recognized as a composer of note and a musician of consequence.”
