"Verified Review Great band! I hired Backforward as a duo and they were fabulous. We had a 1980s themed party and they accommodated the theme. Adam even stayed a bit after to DJ 80s tunes for us! I would hire this band again in a heart beat."

"The day of all days My wife Erika and I got married in August. We have to compliment Sonny and the band on their professionalism and availability before and during the wedding. A great idea was moving among the tables and singing with all the guests. What else can I say? Highly recommended!"

"Can not recommend these guys more. Incredibly helpful, great communication & brilliant service. Every single guest complimented us on the band, Sue’s voice is just incredible and all the guys know how to make the best of their instruments. Would love to hire them again & will recommend to anyone looking for a band. Thanks guys so much!"

"A few friends and I went to see Gaelforce at the Old Grocers in Pontefract on Friday. What a fantastic talented bunch of musicians these guys are. They delivered punchy folk rock songs, which are mostly their own with a few individual interpretations of some classics throughout the night. Brilliant stuff and highly entertaining. A great venue too, and cannot wait for them to return."

"For over two decades, I've had the privilege of witnessing Retrograde / MDM's evolution into a powerhouse of rock music. Their songwriting prowess is unparalleled, delivering anthems that resonate deeply with audiences worldwide. Lead vocals soar with passion and precision, backed by musicianship and production that sets the standard in the industry. MDM's commitment to excellence in production elevates every track to masterpiece status. Their talent is matched only by my respect for their enduring musical legacy. It has been an absolute delight collaborating with Retrograde / MDM for more than two decades, and I eagerly anticipate the next chapter of their remarkable musical journey."

"Wedding - Dawn S. - May 15th, 2021 We booked Josh West Trio for our 70-person outdoor Scottsdale wedding in May, and they were absolutely phenomenal! They were extremely professional leading up to and during our event, making sure they had the lay of the land and were coming well prepared with the right equipment etc. Josh also graciously offered to bring an extra keyboard along so my Uncle could play a special processional song for my walk down the aisle. Their music is on-point for a mixed-age audience, vocals were off the charts, and every one of our guests were signing, dancing and raving about their performance. You will not regret booking these guys - they made our special day even more special and we are SO thrilled we chose them for our wedding!"

"I booked Morning glory as our Main Event act in our most recent event on the 22nd of June for a Cabaret Show for the Stoneybatter Festival, the band were a pleasure to work with and were very professional from meeting them. A great bunch of lads and were the best Oasis Tribute band I have personally witness, I would book Morning Glory again in a flash and would highly recommend these guys for any occasion."

"There’s more to Johnny Ticktin than meets the eye. Well-versed in the blues, having once served as lead guitar player for the legendary Louisiana Red, the open-minded Ticktin is a sponge, soaking up the subtle six-string nuances and intricacies of a multitude of genres—from surf to classic R&B, swing and even Mambo—on his eighth album with The Headhunters, That’s All I Need. It would feel right at home in any rough-and-tumble roadhouse. The title is borrowed from a song, covered here in all its dark, swampy glory, off Magic Sam’s 1967 iconic electric blues marvel West Side Soul. Watery, backwoods ripples of Sam’s tremolo guitar style and seductive rhythms meander through Creedence Clearwater Revival’s mysterious kudzu on Johnny & The Headhunters’ version, as Ticktin and company paddle up a lazy river of Bayou groove. Just as fluent in nasty rockabilly, they thrive in the sweltering heat of the 1957 obscurity “Chicken House,” giving it a warm buzz and making it rumble and swagger, while the lascivious, infectious funk of “Body and Fender” – a Doc Pomus/Duke Robillard joint originally built for soul crooner Johnny Adams – shakes all over and ogles the female form. A rousing, boogie-woogie version of Lowell Fulsom’s Chess Records’ hit “Rock ‘Em Dead” is wonderfully shambolic, and Ticktin rides the lightning of the Link Wray instrumental “Ace of Spaces” like a champ, gleefully wheeling through edgy garage-rock riffs with appropriate vim and vigor. What feel he and his band have for this material. There is not the slightest bit of indifference to it anywhere on this record. Not that they need it, but help arrives in the form of keyboardist Tam Sullivan, who wraps smoky, sensual organ and wraiths of piano around a soulful remake of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Lead Me On,” and singer Liz Springer, who joins her brazen vocals to Ticktin’s in the cheeky, but charming, duet “Watch and Chain.” And, with the solid machinery of a good backing band at work behind him, Ticktin can just let loose – witness the slide-guitar fury of their cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker.” For aficionados of tasteful guitar work and music that time shouldn’t have forgotten, this is what you need. —Peter Lindblad SPREAD THE NEWS!

"I have hired Steve for several events over the last few years and he has always been wonderful to work with! Whether it's been a corporate event or a holiday party, Steve is a great entertainer and our guests rave about him - he brings a great energy and creates a fun ambiance. He has a wide range of music and a beautiful voice. Steve is incredibly responsive and easy to coordinate booking for an event and always very prompt, professional, and prepared with all of his equipment. He is my go-to for any event I am hosting - Thanks, Steve!"
