Review Centre: 1980s Era Musicians & Bands

"Velvet Crush was hired for a week long corporate event for the Sheetz Gas Company at Seven Springs Resort. They were professional every step of the way. They brought the energy and talent we needed to provide the entertainment for the week. The management employees from Sheetz loved them. They brought top notch sound system; sound engineer; full lighting show; and they were simply top notch entertainment. You're getting the complete full package with Velvet Crush."

"Ian P. Woodbury I’ve been serenaded AND stirred by THE ROCKITS twice in 2022, since being introduced to them only recently. I made a pledge to myself, in the mirror, to go and listen to them whenever I need to satisfy my audio addiction for exceptionally performed, hard driving Rock n Roll. As a guy who has been playing guitar, and singing for an audience since 1956, I continuously need to have my appetite satiated with Good Ol’ Rock n Roll. The Rockits satisfy my need quite satisfactorily! Thank You Very Much! The Rockits share the top shelf of the D.C. Area bands, with only a few other bands up there with them. There is no better party band than The Rockits. The band is well-rehearsed, instrumentally and vocally tight, and they really know how to keep the good vibes topped off at FULL, without losing the personal touch with their audience. Everyone in the band is a seasoned musician, sings very well, and harmonizes on key. But…the vocal standout is Robin Brown, the female vocalist. Robin should be known by everyone in the D. C. Metro Area, who enjoys hip Shakin’ Rock n Roll. ROBIN IS THAT GOOD! She commands the stage, like a Queen, but she is never domineering. She does not try to draw undue attention to herself, but knows her position on stage, as an integral part of a smoothly wild ensemble. She shares the M.C. duties with the band’s leader, Peter Grattan, who is a fine drummer, but in The Rockits, he is a triple threat on keyboards, guitar, and vocals. All the instrumentalists are in the top echelon of local talent, each attuned to his role in the overall mix, and they all shine in their spots. If you want a really satisfying Good Time of listening and dancing, there is no better band, who can lift you higher, than The Rockits. Going out to get your Rock n Roll fix with The Rockets is an evening well-spent. "

Thank you so very much Ian. We strive to give the best performance possible and it is people like you that make it all worth while. Having been 'Rockits' for over ten years, we appreciate every gig we get, every booking is unique, and having played a 3 year 6 nite a week residency at one of New Zealand's top hotels in my twenties, I know how important it is to 'entertain.' My experience as TVNZ's Head Of Entertainment Production for three years also has given me the experience needed to become an all round entertainer. Years of touring the world on cruise ships, recording four records for CBS and years in London have helped, so that our repertoire of 1000 songs spans sixty years and encompasses the best of the Rock 'n Roll era. Your heart felt review means so much! -Peter G Grattan (band leader)

"We booked Total Affect for our wedding at Aintree in June 2023 after seeing their showreel video and other live videos. They didn't disappoint! They sounded AMAZING and myself, the groom and all of our guests absolutely loved them. I've had so many messages from the guests about them since the big day saying how great they were. I definitely recommend them if you're wanting a rock out with the most amazing vocals and solos!"

"Absolutely fantastic. highly recommended. Before the event, all our needs and requirements were covered, great communication throughout. On the day, everything was setup and ready to go (without any of our intervention) Lovely and her Team covered everything with the venue and made our life very easy. The performance was great, you could see the level of commitment, passion and deliverance from start to finish. All our guests loved her and had nothing but good things to say. One guest keeps asking me for her CD (don’t know if she has one, I will have to check "
