"If Dr. John and Tom Waits leave you wanting more, lend your ear to one-of-a-kind Aussie artist Pugsley Buzzard, who assimilates their piano playing, singing and songwriting style into his own blues-jazz musical distillation. On this, his fourth solo CD since 2007’s Hammer These Tongs, Buzzard delivers an all-original set recorded in New Orleans, Melbourne and the Blue Mountains. The Aussie backing musicians are so hip to Buzzard’s swampy Crescent City-influenced grooves that it’s difficult to tell which tracks were recorded where. Complementing the Big Easy contingent of tenor and baritone saxophonist Jimmie Carpenter, trumpeter Antonio Gambrell, trombonist Craig Klein, double bassist Nathan Lambertson, guitarist John Fohl, drummer Charles Brewer and singer Irene Sage, is an equally talented band of top local players. The opening bars of the lead-in blues mambo instrumental ‘Cigarstore Indian’, on which Buzzard’s commanding piano echoes Professor Longhair, James Booker and Allen Toussaint all rolled into one, promises a bourbon-drenched musical trip to follow. Buzzard doesn’t disappoint, his gravelly Joe Cocker-by-way-of-Coco Robicheaux vocals and pulsating piano serving up a solid mix of New Orleans R&B from the Fats Domino styled ‘Dirty Kings’ and the inventive minor-key rave-up ‘Gumbo Boogie’, to the gris-gris-soaked, Night Tripper hoodoo funk of ‘Po’ Boy’, ‘Fire In The Hole’ and ‘Mischief’. The Dixieland flavoured ‘Sin City Lights’ gives way to ‘Salamanca Blues’ a solo instrumental displaying Buzzard’s mastery of stride piano. Chasin’ Aces is a well-crafted, authentic New Orleans Down Under body of work. Al Hensley Rythmns Magazine "

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and continued support. I really appreciate your kind words and trust in booking me for such a wide range of events. It’s always a pleasure to perform for audiences that love great music and classic entertainment. If you’re looking to book a professional live singer in London or across the UK for your corporate event, wedding, or private party, I’d love to bring smooth vocals, swing, jazz, and timeless hits to make your occasion unforgettable.

"Livi was amazing! She performed at my son's birthday party and everyone loved her. She compiled the perfect play list and despite it being a children's party all the Abba songs got the parents dancing. I can't wait to book her again!"

"We would like to thank Rory for performing at our wedding, he was fantastic. We didnt need to do anything on the day, he was ready and waiting to start when we arrived at the drinks reception. A lot of our guests have commented on how amazing he was. As the bride and groom we didnt get a lot of time to thank him for his services but they were greatly appreciated and would definitely recommend him to anyone!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of having Taylor perform at our wedding, and we can’t say enough great things about him! He was amazing—his talent, energy, and ability to play seamlessly alongside the DJ truly elevated the entire night. Our guests were blown away by his performance. If you’re considering live saxophone for your event, book Taylor!! He is professional, talented, and knows exactly how to get the party going. We’re so glad we booked him!"

"Yesterday, the jazz band that performed at our Christmas market brought a fantastic atmosphere to the heart of the event. With their mix of traditional Christmas carols in jazzy arrangements and contemporary improvisations, they completely captivated the audience. The booking went smoothly, and the communication was excellent. Highly recommended!"
