Review Centre: 1970s Era Musicians & Bands

"The guy’s are as close you will ever get to the real Bee Gee’s, their look and harmonies are fantastic. We can’t wait to have them back. Ricky Tomlinson, The Greenroom Liverpool (We are still working for him 6 years later and every event has been sold out.) Barry – we mean Tony B – looked, sang, talked, moved and played guitar exactly like his alter ego. Tony has been Barry Gibb from the beginning of his calling 15 years ago. The portrayal of Maurice & Robin were every bit as convincing as Barry in their looks, trademark dry humour, dress, posture, mannerisms, movement and, of course, that unique, compelling sound. Imitation really was the sincerest form of flattery. Marhaba Desk, Author at Marhaba, Qatar's premier information guide The band were excellent, so thanks very much indeed. I didn’t see them before they left so would you please give them my thanks. Tim Manns, Station Director, The Saint, 107.8 FM, DAB Across South Hampshire, Sky Digital 899.

This is just a brief note to thank you and ‘The Bees Knees’ for the band’s performance at our staff Christmas party at the Thistle Marble Arch on 19th December 2002. They are an excellent tribute band and I really appreciated them appearing in the 1970’s gear as well! I would certainly recommend them if anyone I know is looking for a Bee Gees tribute band or some good entertainment for a party or function.

Evening Star Newspaper - Saturday, June 28th, 2003 This is to confirm that the event went very well. The UK Bee Gees turned up on time and set up. They were totally self-contained and extremely well organised. I am new to this and when I asked the theatre manager are all acts as good as this she said definitely not. She stated this was the most professional and best organised group she had ever worked with. The concert went very well and the audience had a whale of a time. Dancing in the aisles. We would highly recommend the UK Bee Gees and will be booking them again. Rotary Club of Felixstowe Languard, Seckford Theatre Hi Tony (UK Bee Gees). I’m Margaret writing to Thank you once more for the time of my life. The review you sent us is a very good one, it praises your show to detail. It says the show was exceptional and what impressed the writer most was that the UK Bee Gees tribute band had such great voices and that it was difficult to believe that they are not the real group and I totally agree. Believe it or not they even mentioned me and how I had one the competition as the biggest Bee Gee Fan in Malta and got to spend the weekend with you in Gozo.

"Extremely happy with The Long Players! The music they performed was varied and suited the guests at the Wedding of our son and now daughter in law. They are very professional and it is obvious that they enjoy what they do. We would not hesitate to recommend this band. Brilliant!"

"There is no doubt that a formula like that of Ever Wanted has an undisputed charm: the guitarist (usually acoustic) knows how to weave truly hypnotic arpeggios, while dealing with precise and minimal rhythms, on which the saxophonist (also a flautist) manages to create unique and bewitching atmospheres for Brian's dirty and sick voice, committed to making immortal masterpieces of international rock songs. Acoustic enough not to be noisy, original enough to never sound predictable, intelligent enough to have chosen an authorial but mostly very well-known repertoire, in short they were able to give a lulling and stimulating evening. My customers were enthusiastic, I'm goin' to call them again"

"Catherine and Gunther Schonfeldt - Bride and Groom Marriott Hotel Ottawa Hi Andy, Sorry for the delayed reply. We got back to Vancouver on Monday evening. Thought we'd have time this week to send thank you emails but it has been a bit crazy in our end. Anyway, thanks Andy for doing such an amazing job at our wedding. Most of the guests came up to us to let us know how much they enjoyed the music and how good you guys were. They all wanted to know how we found you so we mentioned Trevor Stevenson of course. If it wasn't for our mutual friend Trevor, we wouldn't have been lucky enough to meet you and the band. I can tell you that most of my memory of that evening (all thanks to the alcohol) centered on the dance floor with the 3 of you playing to some of my favourite songs of all time. Even my sister-in-law fell over laughing from too much dancing. Gunther & I really enjoyed ourselves. We'd be absolutely honoured to leave a testimonial on your website this weekend. Best regards, Catherine & Guntherv"
