Review Centre: Blues Bands

""Mojo Mothership flawlessly delivered an extremely tight performance that was definitely one of the musical highlights of this year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival. Professional from start to finish. This group definitely showed the skills, talent and passion to serve up some sizzlin’ Blues. We sure hope to see Mojo Mothership at our festival again!"

"Blending Tradition with Modern Hits! Ixeis Afixeis these Greek Band brings a unique blend of both traditional Greek music and contemporary hits. While their roots lie in laïkó, rebetiko, and folk, they also expertly cover songs by popular modern Greek artists like Vertis, Karras, Pantelidis, and Vissi. Their versatility makes them the perfect choice for any event, combining the timeless sounds of Greece with the energy of today’s top hits. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, party, or festival, Ixeis Afixeis keeps the crowd dancing and engaged all night long with both classic and current Greek music!"

"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!

"I found it so easy to book The Crotchet Club for my wedding reception. The email correspondence was very quick and easy and they took all my wishes and requests on board. I wanted some upbeat jazz to create an atmosphere for my wedding reception, and this is exactly what the trio did. They played beautifully! I didn't have to worry about any logistics once I had given them all of the info and they liaised directly with my DJ to ensure they were making use of the space and equipment at the party. I would absolutely book them again for a future party - they are very talented and great value!"

"Yve has a very distinctive voice, and for someone of such small stature, the sound she makes is huge. I first came across Yve at a local festival, and she immediately won me over with her soulful bluesy sound. Since then I have seen her perform both as a solo artist and with a full band, and she never fails to impress. In fact every time you see her, you're reminded of exactly what it is you love about her. Off of the stage she's friendly and approachable and a pleasure to work with. She's easily one of the best female vocals I've heard in quite some time, and I'm glad that I found this jewel in the Norfolk countryside. I can't put into words just how good she is, you'll have to listen for yourself, but I can pretty much guarantee that you won't be disappointed! - Jon Seymour"

"I originally was looking at another band as my present for my dad's 80th but as soon as I saw Soul75's YouTube videos I knew they would make the event, and boy was I right!! It was a big celebration at 150 people and we are still getting comments about it, mainly about the band. Soul75 have a fantastic set list to choose from and me and my parents chose almost every song they suggested. We wanted quite a bit of reggae as my dad is Jamaican so they really can do it all. Their set was tight, and you could tell they all worked hard to ensure it stayed that way. From the drummer, to bass, to guitar and the incredible vocalist, everything was spot on. Our guests felt like they were at a gig, people were dancing and singing along. They even accommodated me singing a song for my dad. Simply put, if you are hesitating between bands, you will not be disappointed. Richard stayed in good contact up to the night of our event. Thank you so much guys, you really are a special band and my dad LOVED it."

"I highly recommend The Crotchet Club. They created such a classic atmosphere with their music repertoire and performed amazingly. They delivered excellent service on my late husband’s memorial event. Thanks you so much."

"Greg Ballad's tribute performance was pure magic. His ability to capture the essence and nuances of Luther Vandross, Barry White, and Teddy Pendergrass was astounding. I was transported back in time, reliving the soulful melodies in the most authentic and heartfelt way."

"I am from the UK but we got married in Nidri on 29th August this year. Having seen west coast play on many occasions during my visits to Nidri we knew that we wanted the band for our wedding. Needless to say they didn’t let us down and had everyone up dancing. They even played our first dance song which was amazing ! Would highly recommend. "

"Wonderfully atmospheric We asked the Jazz Centrale trio to play during the reception at our annual celebration for long-service awardees and retirees. Their music truly added an extra touch of atmosphere. They play brilliantly and have a wonderful repertoire. Definitely worth repeating!"

"Jeff was able to schedule our awards dinner in with short notice and did a fantastic job. Our employees really enjoyed the wide variety of music he played (seeing our CEO get up and show us some dance moves to an old Elvis song was the highlight of the night though). We look forward to having Jeff back in the future! "

Thanks for the opportunity and the kind words Carl. You have a great group of people and they made it a fun evening. As discussed, I'm looking forward to bringing in my Jazz quintet next time. Best regards ... Jeff Moyer (BSJ)

"Quite frankly, the best "lounge act" I've even seen on a cruise ship. Enthralling, virtuoso playing and a wide repertoire. It was always hard to leave. I'd about book a cruise just to see them."
