"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023 It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie. This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene. Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016. Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie. Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds. The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song. Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands. So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half. Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69. If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance. Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again. My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.

"Tom Fitzpatrick - the ultimate performer - once heard, never forgotten and in my opinion - often sounds better than the original artists! Fantastic sound, fantastic look and fantastic opportunity for audience participation! Tom Fitzpatrick - better than the rest and one of the very best!"

"Lewis sang at my son's wedding last week. He was simply amazing, fantastic voice, great, friendly guy and so professional from the moment we booked him. So many guests said how much they enjoyed that part of the day, the mother of the bride even said that was one of her favourite bits of the wedding day. We just can't recommend him enough simply amazing thanks Lewis!!"

"10/10! Amazing performance, wonderful people. Mike and his wife Kathy were an absolute dream to have perform at my wedding- Mike performed for an hour during dinner to all the classic rat pack songs. Mike’s Frank performance was outstanding- most guests thought it was a recording of Frank Sinatra until they heard our names placed in the song to personalize it. Mike walked from table to table and was truly such a hit at the wedding. He also sang both our first dance song and our parent dance song- and was totally willing to shorten it to the perfect length. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring them- they were truly such a joy to have at our wedding."

"Alkka and Chris have entertained our guests at various events/venues in Spain for over the last 8 years. The only “complaints” from the venue owners have been that they live 5 hours from us so they can’t perform regularly at their establishments or they would book them time & time again! Our guests adore them, their musicality is beyond compare! Can’t speak highly enough of them or their musical entertainment."
