Review Centre: 1980s Era Musicians & Bands

"Went to a 4th of July party yesterday and these guys were playing. (Lifetime Rocker) Great musicians. Great songs. BUT - after couple sets of killer covers with great vocals they broke into what they call live karaoke. They have a screen with lyrics and people get up & sing their favorite song with a LIVE band. On the break I asked them how many songs they knew. Over 400. Yeah. Mind blown. And they're not stumbling through these songs - They're nailing them!"

"Nicky Phillips’ performance at my 50th birthday party was simply outstanding. From the moment I reached out to book her, communication was smooth, professional, and timely, making the entire process stress-free. Her melodic and relaxed folk-style voice captivated the audience, creating the perfect atmosphere for the celebration. Every guest thoroughly enjoyed her performance, with many commenting on how her music added a special touch to the event. A truly memorable musical experience!"

"It is just amazing to listen to Dr Jose Luis Hinojosa on the saxophone! He uses his amazing talent to communicate the most extraordinary and melodious sounds you could ever enjoy from a saxophone. For the last 5 years I have engaged Dr Saxy in various events : birthday party, wedding shower, Mother’s Day’s celebrations, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Hinojosa on the saxophone, book him now. "

"We’ve been lucky enough to host Evie Ingles at our pub Ye Olde Greene Manne, Batchworth Heath on three separate occasions, and every performance has been nothing short of fantastic. Evie brings an incredible energy to the stage, soothing vocals with her talent on the saxophone (which is very very impressive each time!!). Her covers are always on theme, fresh, exciting and nostalgic. Each time she performs, Evie has a way of drawing the crowd in and getting them on their feet, dancing and singing along. Her talent is undeniable, and it's no surprise that our guests keep asking when she'll be back. If you're looking for a night of great music and unforgettable vibes, Evie Ingles is an absolute must-see at any event. "

"Jovan was the absolute highlight of our wedding. He coordinated with the DJ seamlessly, and when he performed Billie Jean, the dance floor filled instantly. Guests kept saying it felt like a real concert. My husband and I will never forget that energy."

"The Smooth Criminals played at our wedding in South Wales and we couldn't have made a better choice, they were true professionals. Communication was great in the lead up to the day and they were super accommodating of all our requests. On the day, they ran the evening entertainment without a hitch, flexing their sets to the late running of day. Their talent, combined with the high quality equipment they use resulted in a professional sound and incredible performance - we had so many complements from guests during and after the event, many of whom are musicians themselves."

"Me and my husband were looking for a rock band in Porto to play at our wedding and Patifes e Pilantras were just right for us. We appreciate the fact that they took a few minutes to read the room and adjust their playlist accordingly to the vibe. Everybody loved them, they are incredible artists and we were so lucky to have found them and to have their performance at our wedding! They really made our day extra special and for that we are incredibly grateful! "

"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)
