"We welcomed Dale David to our meeting of 6 local Womens' Institutes in June and without exception all the ladies present said he was brilliant. He played for us while we were eating supper without it being too loud or intrusive, and then later he continued with all the kind of music that we had asked him for and lots of the ladies were up on the dance floor and joining in with singing along and really enjoying themselves. His fee was very reasonable and he certainly gave us our money's worth. Without doubt I would recommend him to anyone who likes music from the 60's onwards. "

Hi Linda. Many thanks for your kind words. Sorry I haven’t responded sooner but it’s been a busy time with work and illnesses. I enjoyed performing for you all and look forward to doing it again some day. Best regards Dale

"Me and my husband were so impressed by Micki's performance at Swashbuckle in Cleephorpes. We heard that there was going to be a Cher tribute act so went go and watch, and I've watched quite a few Cher tribute and Micki was the best one act I've ever seen!"

"Fibonacci Ensemble is a magnificent duo formed by Pat Cuikani in the voice and José Trinidad Violin in the violin. Individually and together they perform music that touch your heart. Jose performed my son’s wedding and he performed with his violin a very ample styles of music, from classics to modern. Pat’s voice is very unique and she can touch your most sensitive emotions. I have seen them perform in Stephen Avenue, and also in the Bella Concert Hall. I love Fibonacci Ensemble."

"Susan Wareham 2022 recommends Ritchie Penrose - Celebration of The Soul & Motown Legacy Show. We can’t recommend Ritchie enough. He entertained our wedding guests perfectly. Ritchie sang for us as we took to the dance floor for our first dance, plus an additional serenade which was blissful. The dance floor was full during his whole performance. Brilliant singer and engaged his audience fabulously. We would definitely recommend him. Thank you. "

"There’s more to Johnny Ticktin than meets the eye. Well-versed in the blues, having once served as lead guitar player for the legendary Louisiana Red, the open-minded Ticktin is a sponge, soaking up the subtle six-string nuances and intricacies of a multitude of genres—from surf to classic R&B, swing and even Mambo—on his eighth album with The Headhunters, That’s All I Need. It would feel right at home in any rough-and-tumble roadhouse. The title is borrowed from a song, covered here in all its dark, swampy glory, off Magic Sam’s 1967 iconic electric blues marvel West Side Soul. Watery, backwoods ripples of Sam’s tremolo guitar style and seductive rhythms meander through Creedence Clearwater Revival’s mysterious kudzu on Johnny & The Headhunters’ version, as Ticktin and company paddle up a lazy river of Bayou groove. Just as fluent in nasty rockabilly, they thrive in the sweltering heat of the 1957 obscurity “Chicken House,” giving it a warm buzz and making it rumble and swagger, while the lascivious, infectious funk of “Body and Fender” – a Doc Pomus/Duke Robillard joint originally built for soul crooner Johnny Adams – shakes all over and ogles the female form. A rousing, boogie-woogie version of Lowell Fulsom’s Chess Records’ hit “Rock ‘Em Dead” is wonderfully shambolic, and Ticktin rides the lightning of the Link Wray instrumental “Ace of Spaces” like a champ, gleefully wheeling through edgy garage-rock riffs with appropriate vim and vigor. What feel he and his band have for this material. There is not the slightest bit of indifference to it anywhere on this record. Not that they need it, but help arrives in the form of keyboardist Tam Sullivan, who wraps smoky, sensual organ and wraiths of piano around a soulful remake of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Lead Me On,” and singer Liz Springer, who joins her brazen vocals to Ticktin’s in the cheeky, but charming, duet “Watch and Chain.” And, with the solid machinery of a good backing band at work behind him, Ticktin can just let loose – witness the slide-guitar fury of their cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker.” For aficionados of tasteful guitar work and music that time shouldn’t have forgotten, this is what you need. —Peter Lindblad SPREAD THE NEWS!
