Review Centre: Rock Bands

"The Coffin Dodgers put on an absolutely incredible show! From the first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the crowd engaged. Their set list was perfectly balanced, classic rock favourites mixed with their own unique sound, and a couple extra fun ones in there, which kept everyone in the room singing along. This was the first time in a while I’ve seen people get up to dance while in this restaurant bar. What impressed me most was how professional and tight their performance was; every member clearly knows their craft and loves what they do. The atmosphere in the venue completely shifted once they started playing, and you could see customers staying longer, eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves because of the music. If you’re looking for a band that can light up a room and leave people talking about the night for days afterward, this is the group to book! "

"Julie and her band, Joy Regime, are an absolute gem and I can’t recommend booking them for your event enough. They played at my block party/bike race and had amazing energy. "

"An unbelievable night of spectacular live music in benefit of Montage Support Services was presented to all in attendance on this brisk fall night at the Vaughan City Playhouse Theatre courtesy of multi-talented Instrumentalist Dom Mar KZ, who was backed up by the mind-blowing Shining Star Band. Having been a fan of Dom’s work for the past 32 years, saying that I was looking forward to seeing this show was an understatement. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Having seen Dom evolve from being the hard rocking Bassist of Graffiti Knox who made his professional debut in 1991 at Toronto’s legendary (yet sadly defunct) Rock ‘N’ Roll Heaven (along with his now Brother-In-Law and one of the Shining Star Band’s Guitarists - Lu Cachie) to becoming one of the most extraordinary and respected Musicians in Canada today was guided by a pre-determined fate. And his fan base across the Globe continues to increase via exposure through International Radio and Online Publications. Besides his Brother-In-Law, Dom was also joined on stage by his son Joe Marchese (Keyboards), Nephews (who also happen to be Lu’s Sons!) Andrew DeVita (Drums) / Carmen Cachie (Guitar), Eugene V (Bass), Daniel Monte (Violin), Piero Nunziata (Guitar), and Enrico Galante (Saxophone). This assembly of exquisite talent was enhanced even further with the Meta Centre Performers, followed by Prado and Juno Award Winner Liberty Silver, who mesmerized the audience and shook this Writer to his core with their stunning presence and vocal prowess. Some of the many stellar (pun intended) tracks churned out included “Destiny” , “In Through The Fire” , “Need A Favour” , “My Lady”, and “War” . Combined with a mesmerizing visual background comprised of photographs and memories from significant periods in Dom’s life, the mentioned songs combined with others included in the Shining Star Band’s set were taken to a deeper level as the Audience came to know and forge an even stronger bond with the Artist via the undeniable magic of music. I genuinely hope that this will be the first of many more performances to come from Dom Mar KZ and The Shining Star Band as their chemistry and passion tore the Vaughan City Playhouse Theatre’s roof off. Mega thanks to Laura Tonelli of Let Signature Events for her hospitality and months of hard work in making this successful concert in aid of an excellent charitable cause a reality! "

"Liebe Martina, nicht nur wir, sicherlich auch alle Gäste, sogar die Bedienungen wippten und sangen mit, und schließlich auch der Wirt, Herr Wagner waren begeistert von eurer bunten Musikauswahl. Vor allem du Martina hast mit deinem engagierten Rundgang durch den Saal eine tolle Stimmung erzeugt. Ihr seid auch super angenehm und sympathisch rüber gekommen. Eure musikalischen Qualitäten in Gesang und instrumental habt ihr nachhaltig in unser aller Gehör und Gedächtnis gebracht. Die Möglichkeit ist gar nicht so gering, dass wir uns irgendwann wieder auf einer Feier, vielleicht bei einem unser vielen Freunde oder meiner eigenen treffen werden. Beeindruckend war auch die Zuverlässigkeit im Vorfeld unserer “Verhandlungen” . Prompte Antworten auf unsere An- und Nachfragen waren selbstverständlich und es dauerte gar nicht so lange, bis sogar eine gewisse Vertrautheit entstanden ist. Man merkte bei jeder Aktion, dass ihr euch selber richtig auf unser Fest freut und wir alle haben es gespürt 🤩 Sonja und Rudi aus Feldafing "

"Review ‘Under the covers’ ‘The Crown’ 6/8/22 Saturday night saw the highly anticipated and another eagerly awaited return to ‘The Crown’ Family Pub and Live Music Venue, 749 Lincoln Road, Peterborough, PE1 3HD, of Top Cambridge Party Band ‘Under The Covers!’ They are ‘Simply The Best’ 3 Piece band that sound like a 4 piece we have had playing from outside of Peterborough! ?? Fronted by the charismatic Lead Singer and Bass player ‘Thomas Pollyn’ ??who literally fanned the audience from start to finish with his legendary ‘Long Necked Bass!’ making no need for our air conditioning!, the band started the 1st set the way they meant to go on with with ‘Summer of 69’ featuring brilliant Lead and backing vocal harmonies from ‘Thom’ and Lead guitarist’ ‘Christian Jones’ ??and it was ‘Party Time’ once again as we were quickly taken back through the decades!??? We then got 3 absolute classics in a row, ‘ Shake rattle and roll’ by Bill Haley and His Comets ? ☄️ from 1955 and ‘Build me up buttercup’ by The Foundations ‘Twist and shout’ by The Beatles, which featured great drumming by ‘Lewis Dunmore’ ? There was some really ‘refreshing’ song choices again from this band! In particular ‘Escape’ (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes from 1979!? Great humour in the band! Thom: “This is about a man called Johnny!” Christian: “Where does he go?” Thom: “He just goes!” Lol ?? A great version of ‘Johnny B Goode’ followed with excellent Lead Guitar from ‘Christian! ? ‘Play That Funky Music’ with ‘Thom’s’ bass playing giving ‘Mark King from ‘Funk Band’ Level 42 a run for his money!, ‘I want to break Free’ and ‘The Best’ by Tina Turner took us to one of the definite highlights of the 1st Set! ‘A Message to you Rudy’ by The Specials which was worth the ‘Free Admission Price ‘Alone! ????? ‘Sweet Home Alabama’?? and then ‘500 Miles’ by The Proclaimers closed the 1st set in style and demonstrated again the great diversity in this great band! Set 2 started strongly with ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and ‘Chelsea Dagger’ It was then ABBA time with ‘Does your mother know’ and ‘Mama Mia’????♀️??? Next up was the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited Ska 2-Tone section of: ‘Lip up Fatty’ ? by Bad Manners ‘Monkey man’? by The Specials and ‘Baggy Trousers’? by Madness which was awesome! ??? ‘I bet you look good on the Dancefloor’, ‘Sex on Fire’? ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, Mr Brightside’ and ‘Sweet Caroline’ took us to set closer ‘Don’t Look Back in Anger’ by Oasis. A well deserved Encore saw the band play the anthemic ‘Living On A Prayer’ by ‘Bon Jovi’ with again incredible Lead and backing vocals from the band! ???? BIG Thank you to ‘Under The Covers’ who we look forward to bringing back next year! ?"

"The Cheers are a faultless, perfect and genuinely brilliant band. My wife and I hired then for our wedding in June 2017 (this is a very late review, our apologies!). Communication from the beginning was great, payment organised easily and they were on time with literally no problems occurring. When they arrived they were polite and very pleasant, happy to adjust their sets and music to our reception evening as arranged beforehand. The music was just amazing. Having not seen them before, we were blown away by how great they were interacting with the guests and really making the place come alive. Most of our guests are very much live music people and it made for an awesome experience, everyone singing and dancing well into the late evening. Hugely recommend this band, hire them now! Thank you The Cheers! You were perfect and the memories will stay with us forever! :)"

"Jaclyn and her team were absolutely incredible! They delivered an unforgettable performance at our block party, and they left everyone in awe. Jaclyn's voice is simply stunning, and the sounds they created were nothing short of amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation! "

"We hired these guys for our wedding. The girls sounded amazing and the whole band were so slick. The sound was at just the right level, loud enough to enjoy but not too loud that we couldn't speak to people in the next room. They were extremely kind and a pleasure to deal with even allowing the youngest wedding guest to play with their tambourine. I would love to do the whole wedding again and i would hire them again. Maybe my next big birthday party! Thank you all for making our wedding end on a fabulous note. Andrew & Lisa Cook x"

"Damien made our night - everyone commented on how much they enjoyed his sets and what a thoroughly nice guy he was, even staying over his agreed time as he continued to take more requests. Could not have been more pleased. "Better than Ed" was the comment of the night I think!! Highly recommend this musician if you want to add something extra to a special occasion."

"Che trio fantastico! Davide e la sua formazione hanno saputo creare l’atmosfera giusta dall’aperitivo fino ai balli di tarda notte. Ci hanno fatti entrare trionfalmente, commuovere e ballare sulle note di “Ovunque proteggi” e infine ballare scatenati fino a pogare durante il DJ set. The Weddingers sono una formazione molto duttile che è stata in grado di spostarsi e seguirci durante lo sviluppo della festa avendo allestito più postazioni con set strumentali differenti. Hanno sempre saputo creare l’atmosfera giusta miscelando brani del repertorio italiano e inglese, sempre ben eseguiti e premiati dalla voce profonda di Davide. Reattivi nella riorganizzazione in caso di imprevisti e molto disponibili quando gli ospiti di andare a casa proprio non ne hanno voglia."
