Review Centre: 1980s Era Musicians & Bands

"We were all extremely amazed ! The show was great, the artists were on time and so kind, they even agreed to play a few more songs for us at the end, after their show was supposed to be finished. I recommend Chris Cadillac without hesitation !!"

"Seen Jeff live in Tampa, Florida, USA. He was great. He had an energy that can't be described. I heard him play the funky classic Superstition like it was nobodies business. Y'all better watch out if he has his bongos with him. He can also slow it down for you with some smooth acoustic classics. I hope my boy brought the 1s and the 2s so he can spin some records for the crowd. Jeff definitely is a crowd pleaser and a showman! Id hire or watch him again anytime."

"Electric Owls, 3 Spanish musicians who have grown up together, playing for more than 15 years together. They put on a fantastic show with facial expressions, and love for each other. They also have 2 English, and the 5 of them complement each other. They put their own spin onto so many songs that they grew up listening to. Highly recommended!! Búhos Eléctricos 3 músicos españoles que han crecido juntos, tocando durante más de 15 años juntos. Hicieron un espectáculo fantástico con expresiones faciales y amor mutuo. También tienen 2 ingleses, y los 5 se complementan. Pusieron su propio toque en tantas canciones que crecieron escuchando. ¡¡Muy recomendable!!"

"I booked the Audio Allstars to play at the annual PLANETS Cancer Charity Ball on Saturday night. Their communication is excellent, they were extremely helpful on the night and made my life as the organiser very easy and stress free. My guests absolutely loved them and the dance floor was full all night. I would not hesitate to book them again and have had constant comments about how great they were since. They topped off what was an amazing night!"

"Amazing talent. Thoroughly enjoyed the band at Bama Slam venue. The singer was awesome, the guitars were on fire, the bass was slapping, the beats on drums were on point, and the keyboards added another level. Great band. ? "

"We contacted Tim last minute as we had been let down by another performer. He called within an hour and was extremely accommodating, doing our event meant he was doing 2 gigs back to back. Great voice and song choices. A saviour! Thank you Tim! Highly recommend."

"Wow! Wow! and lots of Wows! Sandy is BRILLIANT! She has brought soooooo many new customers to our bar here and managed to please them all! ALL ages, all tastes in music and ALL people! Pop, ballads, rock, disco, - you just request it and Sandy sings it with her beautiful voice and her wonderful personality. I noticed immediately that she was a trained dancer - her moves are so professional. I've never seen so many happy people in one room! (10 / 10)"

"As a music journalist, I am someone well used to hearing performances covering the whole spectrum of ability, from very talented, to no talent whatsoever; mainly on the working circuit, encountering much from the bottom end of the scale, the flaws of which seemingly pass by, or go over the heads of the audience, mediocre musical acts often gaining acceptance despite (or because of) their lack of any talent whatsoever. So, when on a random whim, I booked MAYHEM into The Old Crown, Hayes, I was pleasantly surprised to come across that jewel one constantly seeks: a light hidden in the bushel, an act of great quality. Don’t get me wrong, on the surface, MAYHEM are basically just another covers band, with certainly not much more to offer in terms of choice of material than others treading the same circuit. The difference though, is in the depth of thought in the vocal arrangements, and the attention to detail in the performance of the songs. Someone in the band has true musical knowledge. The way the vocals are arranged and used is no accident, and the music has a depth and surety that is pure class. Carol’s voice is unique, and at many points conveys rare emotion for those who can hear. The two voices are a happy accident of coincidence; Carol’s rather treble voice, Billy’s gruff baritone, both interesting voices taken in isolation, but together producing a sound that is perhaps greater than the sum of its parts. The quality of both singers shows itself also in the faultlessly correct intonation, the thrilling blend and invention of the harmonies, the search for expression in the vocals, the subtle use of the arrangements to produce expression. Most of these subtleties are of course lost on the general public, but the band still have enough battle-hardened experience and know-how to ride out any waves of indifference, and overcome the hardest heart with a friendly approach to their clientele, patiently trying out various styles and eras, constantly striving to reach their listeners, despite a kind of yearning in the music for serious recognition. Personally, I found it somewhat sad that a talented band like this has to resort to some popular (and bland) material, but one must bow to reality, and work is work. Still, the musicians didn’t just accept the status quo of this material; they always had a few surprises in store in the way they approached any song, however scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Carol’s voice sounded at its best on songs like “SUMMER OF ’69” and “I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT”, but she shone through on harder songs too, like “LIVING ON A PRAYER” and “DON’T BRING ME DOWN”. Billy didn’t sing quite as many lead lines, but when he did, it was with a power and confidence that knew just how best to carry the melody, and the strength of harmony singing was in a different league from the average one would expect to hear in a situation like this. On “Living La Vida Loca” the dual vocals were outstanding, perhaps the most equal blend of the day, with other such highlights for me being “Don’t Stop me Now” and “I Wanna Know what Love is”. The locals however enjoyed some of the lighter material more, such as “Rockabilly Rebel”, square dancing their way through the afternoon with great whoops and hollers, playing their part in a very pleasant day in a very pleasant pub. There was a humorous moment when the lads at the bar joined in with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” all pointing and dancing in the manner of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun”! A vivid sight to behold, for sure! The day ended with a raucous rendition of “Rockin’ All Over The World”, the two singers showing that they could rock it with the best of them when the chips are down. Can’t wait to see this band again. (10 / 10) Andrew Staines "
