"Rev Ferriday's musical past dates back to the late 1980s, with Indie rock band Loop but it was only in 2012 when his first solo album appeared. The follow-up is all set to be released on 21 October.With bluesy harmonica well to the fore, deep vocals and general grungy feel, Nine Beats presents nine slices of down 'n' dirty blues, described in the publicity blurb as inhabiting a place ''somewhere between Johnny Cash and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.'' On close inspection, I'd say the description is not a million miles from the truth. The sound reminds me of other artists too, such as Ian Siegal (especially from his Revelator era).Mostly, the pace is uptempo, with a rock feel, but there is room for the occasional step into the world of more traditional blues, such as10/6.Catchy riffs abound; it's all toe-tappingly good stuff with simple enough arrangements that were presumably designed to be played live.Stand out tracks: Moonshine, Nine Beats."

"Matt was absolutely fantastic ! We wanted a great singer / guitarist for our outdoor tipi wedding ... we saw a clip of Matt on you tube and had to book him. Matt was really professional, approachable and friendly - making everything easy. We first met on our wedding day and he didn’t disappoint our guests at the drinks reception. I would recommend anyone looking for a great singer / guitarist to check out Matt :) Thanks again :) "

"We had the privilege of having the Elvis Presley Show play at my Dad's 60th birthday. He was absolutely amazing- very talented and very entertaining. People were up and dancing, even though some aren't fans of Elvis (Dad is a big Elvis fan!). We would highly recommend the Elvis Presley Show and we are already bearing him in mind for future events!"

"Will was super easy to work with and his performance completed the dreamy atmosphere we pictured for our wedding day. I gave Will a few songs I wanted specifically for the big day and he performed them even better than I could have imagined. He even took the time to learn the song I was named after, which brought my mother to tears as she walked me down the aisle. Thanks again Will!! Everything was perfect."

"5.0 Wedding Ceremony Reviewed on: 7/17/2023 Hands down, Ross McGuiness, should be your number one choice! Amazing performance and knocked it out of the park with his incredible talent. Nothing like having to remind your guests they are there for your wedding celebration and not a concert with Ross McGuiness! JK, but he’s that great! Thanks, Ross for making our special day even more special… you’re the best! See you around KPT! ?? B&J"

"Many thanks Lee. We thought you were perfect for our relaxed garden party the day after our wedding. Your soft vocals and talented acoustic guitar playing really made our day special. And you are a nice pleasant guy too. Everyone commented on how they were enjoying your music and couldn’t believe you lived just down the road. My only regret is that we should have booked for you to play longer. I would not hesitate to recommend you."

"We had Mark perform at one of our restaurants and we booked him in perpetuity afterwards. He was super communicative and helpful in setup and strategy, and his execution was top notch. A+ talent and an A+ entertainer. Highly recommend"
