Press Reviews *** If you like the blues...BUY THIS CD.... if you're a promoter.. BOOK THIS BAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !!!! (Do it now, 'cause it won't be long before you can't afford to !) - Blues in the South - CD review *** The arrangements were great and the band was tighter than a duck's thingy... They gave us the whole nine yards, urban, country, Chicago, West Coast, low down and dirty to uptown sophisticated and it was all top class stuff. - Blueprint - gig review *** Dave Sims (drums) and Simon Reid (bass) propel the band with the requisite unobtrusive-yet-dynamic rhythmic touch. There is also some T-Bone Walker inspired guitar slinging from Dave Beaumont, who stands out from the crowd... - Blueprint - CD review *** Pete Welland got proceedings under way with a powerful harp riff which the band picked up... The ice was broken and everyone realised that they were in for a treat. The band did not disappoint. Pete is a terrific harpman blessed with a voice to match. - Blueprint - gig review *** ...in all honesty we think this band is gonna create a huge following... they're gonna be big news in the blues !!! - Blues in the South - CD review *** Of the twelve tracks on offer only two are covers... Not content with just being talented musicians... they write great songs too !!! - Blues in the South - CD review *** *** Voted Album of 1999 by Blues in the South. *** ***
