"The energy that you and the band gave off was contagious and the community loved how enriching and up-tempo the music was from The Vinyl Stripes and how you actually included the audience in some songs! The positive feedback from the attendees was undeniable! Thanks again for an outstanding performance and best of luck in your future endeavors."

"L’efficacité de la musique dans les cinq films de Quentin Tarantino a beaucoup à voir avec la façon dont il perçoit la musique. Tarantino pense que les chansons en général fonctionnent comme des films miniatures. Il regarde la musique comme un moyen de prolonger les intrigues de ses films. La bande originale a la responsabilité non seulement de donner le ton de la scène, mais aussi d'apporter de la clarté aux émotions qui ne sont pas pleinement exprimées par les personnages. Tout cela fonctionne de manière transparente parce que Tarantino entend d'abord la chanson, puis écrit une scène autour d'elle. Il n'est donc pas surprenant que la musique ait un impact si remarquable dans ses films. Comment la musique affecte-t-elle la façon dont on perçoit les films de Tarantino ? Il est vrai que toute musique fera réagir le spectateur émotionnellement, mais ce qui compte pour Tarantino, c'est que, la plupart du temps, la musique produit ce qu'il perçoit comme l'impact émotionnel «approprié» sur une scène. Par exemple, si quelque chose d'autre que "Stuck in the Middle With You" avait été choisi pour accompagner la scène "du coupage d’oreille" dans Reservoir Dogs, le public n'aurait peut-être jamais connu les tendances sadiques de Mr Blonde. La clé du succès de Tarantino en évitant la musique perçue comme juste «suffisante» est qu'il écrit tous ses scénarios de film avec une musique spécifique à l'esprit. En étant déterminé dans sa sélection, Tarantino s'assure que la musique de Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol.1 et Kill Bill Vol. 2 joue un rôle actif dans la structure narrative du film et, tout aussi important, qu'il fait quelque chose dont le public voudra se souvenir. Ce sont ces souvenirs que souhaite faire resurgir chez le spectateur les membre de Call me Winston. Cet orchestre « tribute band » nouvellement créé sur la Côte d’Azur est unique dans la Région Sud. Avec ses 10 membres, (chanteur, chanteuse, guitare, basse, batterie, percussion, claviers trompette, saxophone alto, saxophone baryton), il vous remémorera les meilleurs moments de films de Tarantino à travers leur bande son.

"Tim played at my 60th birthday party and was absolutely fantastic. He started with a brilliant acoustic set and then moved into more guitar-driven music as the evening went on. He’s a great singer, really got the party going, and is also a genuinely nice guy. I’d highly recommend him for any party or event."

"We hired the fabulous Miss Pearl to sing at my wifes birthday party. Miss Pearl was a pleasure to deal with, accommodating with a list of song requests and she kept the dance floor full all night. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her or hire again. Thank you.x"

Thanks Alan, very nice review. We enjoyed ourselves though it was a shame I was still under the weather after the flu. Like I said to Carol, I didn't want to pull out and spoil your evening. Bryn

"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 chose the choir packs at the church and band at Dona Ofélia's farm, and after watching and listening to many bands/choirs, these were the ones I liked the most right away because of the care they took in choosing songs and the friendliness they showed. They always made us feel at ease and any questions that arose (the kind you have when the date is really approaching) were immediately resolved with complete professionalism. All the guests praised the choir in the church, as they were simply divine with all the melodies, and at the farm, the band got everyone excited and dancing, providing a moment of fun and live music that was exactly what we were looking for on our day! Without a doubt, Dona Ofélia was another great choice for the long-awaited day ☺️"

"Miss Pearl was a huge hit at our Jubilee afternoon tea (Age UK Carlisle & Eden) Happy faces all round, singing and dancing in the aisles. Miss Pearl sang songs through the decades so something for everyone. We will definitely be booking her again for future events. Excellent, Thank You"

"Lil' Stevie and the Westsiders were fun, charismatic, and accommodating. Their band also ROCKED! We hired them for our mother's 60th birthday; she's very into blues music and live bands, so we took a chance on Stevie and the band. We are so glad we did, they were the perfect choice. Stevie played a lot of his original music which was incredible, as well as "Happy Birthday" for my Mom! I would definitely recommend this band if you're looking for a great time with a live band, and if you're looking for that band to be flexible with plans. Stevie was also polite and responsive which I really appreciated. Would definitely hire this band again. Thanks Stevie!"
