"I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks for such a top flight, professional and enjoyable performance from The Crotchet Club last weekend. The atmosphere you created was just right for the occasion and your pre-event organisation must have been very well done as your arrival and departure was not even noticed........just the wonderful music in between."

"Check out the good Reverend on the internet and you’ll see this outfit described as “somewhere between Johnny Cash and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds” with “similar artists” given as Seasick Steve and Eddie Martin – to which I might add, on the evidence of this lowdown and dirty blues CD, The Rolling Stones (60s version) and maybe vintage Canned Heat. Reverend plays guitar and drums, and he is aided and abetted by Owen Bray on guitar and blues harp, with Neil Sadler also providing bass and drum support. Ferriday started out playing indie-rock in the 80s and was working in National Debt with Michael Messer (and Bray) around the start of the millennium. This is his second album under his own name and the leader’s vocals are thick and mean, the songs direct and energetic, the sound gritty, raw, and real, with elements of the hard-driving North Mississippi hill country approach in places, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf and more than a tinge of alt-blues. A thoroughly modern blues album in other words, whilst drawing from the deep well of blues tradition, check it out. Norman Darwen "

"We hired The Crotchet for our wedding reception and couldn't have been happier. They were a lovely group of guys, responsive and reliable leading up to the day and very professional in their performance. It set the perfect mood. In addition, we asked them to learn an extra song for us with short notice, which they did, and it was greatly appreciated! Thanks guys"

"This band exceeded all expectations. They were professional, punctual, and delivered an outstanding performance from start to finish. Their musicianship, energy, and ability to read the crowd created an incredible atmosphere that kept guests engaged all night. Communication was excellent, setup was seamless, and they represented themselves with true professionalism. We received so many compliments from attendees and would gladly hire them again. We highly recommend this band to anyone looking for exceptional live entertainment and look forward to working with them again in the future."

"Her self penned songs are truly inspirational and her vocal talent is one of the best I've heard in a very long time. I do think this lady is going places. Bo was an excellent guitarist and they both complimented each other's performance. - Sharon — Lydian Events"

"I recognise immediately that these serious musicians are challenging the listener and themselves to play outside the box.(...) Music Soup is a good name for this trio of musicians because they embrace a mixed bag of styles and musical concepts that mirror their decade of playing together and their individual personalities... ... Because they have been working together for ten years, Music Soup has a tight, cohesive sound. Their music is well written and produced. On “Your Song” horns join the group. Special guests Dimitris Papadopoulos on trumpet, Dimitri Vassilakis on tenor sax and Antonis Andreou on trombone fatten the sound. However these horns, (nicely arranged by Haris Ziouva) are merely icing on the creative cake that Karlafti and Dimopoulos have baked. Nestor’s bluesy guitar and Evgenia Karlafti’s organ mastery are the fireworks of this production. "
