Review Centre: 1970s Era Musicians & Bands

"I recently hosted my 21st birthday bash in a marquee with dinner and dancing for a hundred people. I could not have hoped to find a better act. Their music was sensational and they kept the dance floor heaving from the end of supper to the ludicrously early hours. The fact that all my guests remarked on how good the music was speaks volumes . especially considering that the guests' ages ranged from nineteen to ninety. However apart from their music, they were incredibly helpful and pleasant, of whom nothing was too much to ask and they undertook every task asked of them with a smile on their faces. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Kindest regards, Carlos Baird "

They are definitely worth having over n over again! Thank you guys and continue to bring the music wherever life takes you! Karen Thomas @ Behind the Scene party & event planning"

"I heard today that Nash was very happy with the band Saturday night. Brought in a lot of money in alcohol sales and he had no idea what a musician you were Mickey. Good job. I guess y'all will be back! From my other Boss..Jason's dad. (Word of mouth message from Bassist Mickey Jennings)"

"The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band does it all and is incredibly talented. We were so impressed and will hire them again without question. They were easy to work with, friendly and they do a wide range of music. Everyone there was raving about how good the band was. Julie's voice is gorgeous and the music was amazing. Highly recommend!!!"

"The Hot Hats were thoroughly professional from the word go - seamless booking process, and very well organised when it came to both the setup and the timings on the night. The performance itself was brilliant, both ourselves and our guests loved every minute of it and it was a pleasure to have them play our first dance for us. Couldn’t recommend these guys enough! Thank you again. - Simon & Sophie"

"Thank you Dave for making our day so memorable! You took our favourite songs and made them into beautiful classical versions and we could not believe how amazing they sounded as I walked down the aisle! All our guests commented on how wonderful the ceremony was because the music made it so emotional and personal. Thanks again I would thoroughly recommend Dave to anyone. "

"We had Electro Retro play at our wedding reception! Best decision we made! Everyone enjoyed their live performance. We worked with Tim directly to select the songs, lighting, and our timeline. It turned out exactly how we discussed. Thank you for being a part of our special day!"

"All of this is an admittedly roundabout way of confessing that I wasn't prepared to be as delighted as I am with Go Tell It on the Mountain (Silkheart), an album of traditional hymns and originals with heaven-gazing titles by Booker T. Williams Jr., a New York-based tenor saxophonist originally from Seattle who performs as Booker T. The obsessive soul-searching implicit in the programming suggests an affinity with John Coltrane. But unlike too many of the saxophonists who aim for Coltrane's spiritual elevation, Booker T has a devilish sense of humor best illustrated by his "Say amen, Gracie" drollery on "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," a homey little melody he elongates and fragments with the comic élan of a Sonny Rollins. In fact, the classic album that Go Tell It on the Mountain most recalls is Way Out West, Rollins's 1958 album of cowboy tunes--and not just because Booker T, like Rollins before him, finds inspiration in unlikely places. It's also because Booker T's interaction with the bassist Saheb Sarbib and the drummer Andrew Cyrille is as carefree and almost as electrifying as Rollins's with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne thirty years ago (or better yet, with Wilbur Ware and Elvin Jones on A Night at the Village Vanguard, from around the same time). Despite the sarcasm implicit in Booker T's low-register bleats, his performances of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" and "Jesus Loves Me" exude sincerity, much the way Rollins's interpretations of oddball pop tunes do. For Booker T, as for Rollins, satire is a sign of respect, not condescension. Booker T is ecumenical: one of the album's most infectious cuts is "Halle Kalle Mazeltov," a hora whose modality he cagily exploits. The Spartan trio format means that Sarbib and Cyrille have to function as soloists as well as rhythm stalwarts, and both men shoulder the added burden gracefully, maintaining melodic continuity in a manner that bassists and drummers seldom do when they solo. Despite the length of some of the tracks (the title tune, which is just over sixteen minutes, is a Booker T original, not the folk song of the same name), Booker T's solos never deteriorate into self-indulgent braying. His sense of thematic exposition is too well developed for that-another cue he takes from Rollins. (And as if to underscore his lineage, the CD-only bonus track is Rollins's calypso "St. Thomas.") He switches to alto on his own "When Mama Cries I Cry," and his phrasing is impressively speechlike on this lighter horn. "

" Facebook - Venue Sunday, December 27,2020 Hi there, I just wanted it to be known that the Luminaria this year was spectacular. The boyfriend and I have gone in previous years, but this year was extra delightful. Loved how it was not over crowed; might have been a covid thing but it worked for us. We hope that this might be a keeping feature, staggering people amounts and entry times. It was also much nicer to arrive in our own vehicle than cramming in on a bus with loads of others. To top it off, the accordion player complimented the night wonderfully. Well, done to all those that made our night!! Candace & James "

"We were lucky enough to book Lewis for a party to celebrate after our daughters wedding. His correspondence throughout was professional yet friendly so we were looking forward to meeting him. He turned up on the day and certainly didn’t disappoint! He has an amazing voice and such a great variety of sounds. We absolutely loved having him sing in our home, as did all our guests and can’t recommend him highly enough."
