Review Centre: Blues Bands

"We booked Groove Jacks for the Wrington Beer Festival and they were very professional from start to finish. Arrived on time, were very friendly and helpful and played a great set that had the audience up and dancing, highly recommended."

"Saw them at the Woodman’s in Gorfeild, absolutely fantastic. The front of house sound was great balanced clear and crisp, the mic’d bass drum cut through really well but never overpowered. The bass player had some static buzz which bothered him but could not be heard when they played, the venue was not overcrowded, while this would have been disappointing for the band it allowed me to see and hear them & that suited me fine. Played a wide range of blues from all its sub genres just think BB King to ZZ Top so something for everyone even those that don’t know they like the blues. The lead guitar was very good and his bottleneck side was outstanding the vocal styles of the bass player and the guitarist are very different but work well together and give a variety that is often missing. The beauty of live performance is the nuance of venue acoustics and atmosphere which makes every performance different (keeps it interesting for the band) a couple of the numbers may need a little more work on the vocals but when they got it right as they did most of the time it was like listening to a studio recording with all of the backroom mixing and editing in place. I look forward to seeing them again and can highly recommend."

Thankyou for the good review Sparky! As it happens we were approached at our gig last night in Holbeach November 2nd 2025 who also attended the same gig at Gorefield and she is one of quite a few followers we have in that area!

"Just love this band, Michele sure knows how to pick great musos, and as she is an exceptional dancer, knows exactly what rhythms us dancers desire in a song, follow her all over the Sunshine Coast."

"Glen Dodd Apr 12, 2023 6:55 AM Jon, brother in the Lord! Your music has touched my heart and soul for many years now and still does! Thank you many times over and I look forward to being present at one of your performances one of these days! I haven't had the privilege of seeing you perform live but I really dug the Sunday evenings when you were streaming from your home. Loved your anointed music and the stories you shared. I feel like we have a few things common from being born in the same month and year to growing up in tumultuous fashion and coming to the Lord as a young man and being delivered from a drug and alcohol lifestyle and home environment (which started for me personally at age of 12). God bless and may He direct you on the performance road again and bless a new generation through your talents. To His glory, Glen Dodd"

"Thanks to direct contact it was clear in no time which instruments/which music. Also nice consultation about what was possible based on the musical taste of the deceased. The performance was exceptionally good. Even an unexpected improvisation was picked up flawlessly. Highly recommended."

"For our wedding party we chose a jazz quartet from the jazz center with Eline as singer. We really liked this. She created a loose and relaxed atmosphere in which you could talk to each other on the one hand, but also do a little dance. In addition, we did the opening dance with them. This was a success and really added something extra. Not only we, but all our guests were very impressed by the band. All in all a fantastic evening. Thank you."

"Now look, getting to witness a musician like Neil playing his first solo show in this format, bare foot, and to a crowd at a packed out pub, is one thing... the crowd (including us) were absolutely blown away, elevated, and swept off to space, throughout Neil's set. This has become a real highlight for us as a band, something we didn't stop talking about the whole way home on Sunday... but then we had to follow this act with our own headline set! Neil was absolutely incredible, sharing a stage with such talent was an honour"
