Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Thank you so much for bringing the weekend to a close on such a high note - my colleagues and I barely left the dancefloor which, given how exhausted we all were by that stage, is testament to just how great you were! Please pass on a massive 'thank you' to the rest of the band, they brought the house(/marquee) down."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Hi Ralph, It was a brilliant performance on Friday – congratulations! Very professional. I liked it all, and there were so many highlights. I really liked Jungle Boogie. I could hear your playing more clearly this time, which I really enjoyed. I liked the various solos, including the bass players. Craig was wonderful, and of course Colin was, too. All the band were wonderful, in fact. I really, really liked your version of Pick Up The Pieces. Well done!"

Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Last night's gig was amazing! I was blown away. I enjoyed it so much. I think I may have surprised Trace by dancing (something I never do) but the music was just so alive, so fun, that I couldn't not. I am sorry I couldn't find you to congratulate you after the gig, but I do so now. Well done!"
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"Loving the sound, really upbeat and full of energy!"
