Review Centre: Blues Bands

"So I get an email about a year ago asking if I would be interested in booking a rather large in numbers (Count them 7) band called One Eyed Cats so I clicked the website link they included and was soon intrigued by these guys who promised not only a night of great music but lots of surprises too so I had to see if they lived up to their promises. Now our stage is not the biggest in the world and when I saw the guys you could tell they had played in all sizes of venues so somehow using some clever logistics they managed to get set up and sound checked very quickly and professionally. Kicking the night off with one kick up of the ass version of Fats Domino's Blue Berry Hill" there was a great feeling in the room that we were in for a great night. These guys play so tight there is no egos when their playing they work as a team and better still a team of obviously great mates . From the boogey Woogie Keyboard skills to the rousing brass section they kept hits coming old standards like Great Balls of Fire to Paul Weller Numbers and a few lesser ones were tested out but as one member of the audience said to me "I don't know this song but they are playing it brilliantly" These guys are definitely ones to catch and we hope to catch them playing at the Hightown very soon"

"The Jazz Central was very professional in every way. Their performance was great, they created the atmosphere at our wedding ceremony. As well as in terms of communication (request to handling), everything was perfect. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a jazz band."

"I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us."

"MISS LUCIE'S BLUES delivers an organic and rootsy feel, which grips your heart and makes you smile. The grassroots vibe is echoingly familiar and comforting, one can almost imagine sitting on a porch and sipping a cool iced tea."

"This was one of those days you know why the blues is your choice of music, three different but simply put brilliant bands, interestingly all three piece, each lead by a guitar player of some talent. Kicking off at noon was Rev. Ferriday and the Longdogs, The Rev. on a big white guitar, a Bigsby tremelo arm, and a slide on his finger poured out a slice of true Hill Country blues, this could have been Burnside, Kimbrough or the Mississippi All Stars. This was power delta blues, the powerful rhythms by a rock solid bass and drums. The songs were all self written, and you couldn't have started better than with a band that brought the whole place awake, even from those late nights. With a new album, 'Unforgettable Trues And Everyday Lies', The first three songs went through without a break, the only comment was 'It's turned out nice again!', before playing 'Devil's Line', followed by songs about lost loves, bartenders, one about meeting, playing with and drinking whisky in New Orleans with Dr.John, which is also the title.. One song 'Sid's Song' about his three legged dog, and a closing 'Moonshhine' he had all aspects of the blues covered, a very fine slide guitarist and front man on stage (he also performs several solo gigs each year as well). You like your blues filled with the roots of the music Rev. Ferriday is your man,a perfect festival band, promoters take note."

"We thoroughly enjoyed a stylish and musically high-level jazz performance. For our 50th anniversary, we were looking for an elegant jazz band, and this all-round Jazz Quartet exceeded our expectations. The communication beforehand was smooth and clear, which immediately gave us a reassuring feeling in the run-up to our event. On the day itself, the band members arrived well ahead of time at the Atomium—professional and well prepared. Their performance, in their classy dress code, was atmospheric and musically of a very high standard, striking exactly the right tone for this festive occasion. The music added an extra touch of class to the evening and was greatly appreciated by all our guests. In short: reliable, professional, and above all musically excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality live jazz!"
