Here are a few nice things that people have said and written about me ,,,,

'The glue that holds it all together'

About my contribution to Hey Negrita., Guitar Buyer Magazine, Dec 09

'Die Harp kommt in gleicher Weise zum Einsatz und, verdammt noch eins, dieses Banjo, von Paul Tkachenko gezupft, klingt einfach klasse ... Was das Akkordeon in "Kathmandu" an Klangteppich zaubert, ist wunderschön'

Hey Negrita, Rock Times (Germany), Winter 09

'Il fait l'orchestre de cuivres Dixieland a lui tout seul! Il a assure les parties de tuba, trompette, saxophone, clarinette et trombone en une demi-heure chrono!'

Hey Negrita, XRoads (France), Dec 09

'On hearing a breakneck solo introductory solo to the classic, “Fun Tashlikh”, by London-based Paul Tkachenko, [Frank] London confessed to being “instrumentalist” when said how embarrassing it was to witness a tuba player who could play faster than other instruments. He added that it was probably his 17th bought on ebay.'

'Paul Tkachenko as Joe B. Mauldin on the double bass and banjo - a virtuoso performance that never flagged and included some intriguing hi-jinks with the string bass'
