Review Centre: 1960s Era Musicians & Bands

"I would just like to thank the band ‘The Glory’, for playing at our wedding at Court Colman Manor last Saturday. So many people commented on how good they were, and they really helped make the day special for all of us. The specially requested first dance song ‘Let’s stay together’ was amazing! We were so grateful and most definitely recommend them. Thanks again Marcus Wright & Sarah Atkins *****"

"I hired The Vibrators Band to perform on my 40th birthday celebration, that took place last Saturday, 10th of January 2026, in Porto - Portugal I was searching for Rock/Funk bands available in the country and immediately got captivated by their cover of the music "Kiss", by Prince. After a brief discussion over the phone, I asked them to perform on my birthday. From the first moment and music line-up, I got very confident that they were the right band. But no one was prepared for what they did. I mean, it was absolutely perfect. From the singer, who has a perfect mix between a power and pitch, to everyone else within the band, it was world class. I would also like to highlight someone who is often forgotten during these shows: the sound technician. I arrived to the venue 30 minutes before the start of the party, in time to be there for the sound check. The technician asked me for feedback and in my opinion the instruments over a bit too loud, and there was a risk to overpower the very strong voice of the lead singer. I provided this feedback, which they took to heart and they made sure that the sound was perfect for the performance. I am very glad I had The Vibrators performing in my celebration. It was just perfect."

"It was a pleasure to see Sangertid perform on the Christmas market in Dudelange where they brought a warm spark to the cold winter evening. They gave a very enjoyable performance with a repertoire of well-known pop and light rock songs that perfectly fit the atmosphere of the market. A violinist joined them for the occasion, adding even more magic."

"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn. "

"I had the good fortune of being able to attend a performance by the good doc at one of our corporate events recently.​ He delighted the crowd both young and old with excellent renditions from a variety of genres. From songs of yesteryear to modern day hits as well as classic boleros, there was a song for everyone. Hope he's back soon! "

"It’s easy to see why Tony and the band receive such excellent reviews. Linda and I had a fabulous evening with top drawer Rock ‘n’ Roll taking us back to the great times we had all those years ago. Our family, friends and neighbours all commented how much of a good time they had, and that includes people too young to remember the music first hand! The band were all extremely friendly and approachable. I cannot recommend the East Coast Rockers highly enough and look forward to seeing them again. Thanks fellas! "

""Dear Lisa & Martin, Wedding 1st May 2010 – Winters Barns. Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, everybody absolutely loved it. We had such a fun evening, thanks to you Martin, really good and a special thank you to your saxophonist for his antics both on stage and off (dancing). You were all great fun and that is exactly what we wanted. Your image is fantastic and your music is pretty good too:) We appreciated you coming all this way and hope you enjoyed it as well. If we ever need a band, we know where to come. Kind regards Dominique & Nicholas.""
