Reviews

Regarding his 1988 solo album "Slaughter on Shaftesbury Avenue":

"Intense jazz-rock fusion of the highest quality. Godding's guitar playing should please fans of McLaughlin and Holdsworth to no end. Heartily recommended to all fusion fans" (Dave Wayne, Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock) [ [http://www.gepr.net/gi.html New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GI-GO ] ]
