Someone who writes songs that sweep right into your soul and who sings them straight from the heart with a voice of pure honey. The moon must have been the brightest of blues the night I first heard Yve Mary B perform and in my forty years as a professional musician I’ve rarely had such a strong urge to be on the stage accompanying someone"” - Chris Short The Churchfitters"

"Having Ant at our wedding made it so special and memorable! Ant played while I walked down the aisle, sang our first dance, and also played during the drinks reception. Ant was lovely to work with, responsive and enthusiastic, and really cared about our day and what we wanted. He is also a lovely guy and was so much fun to have there on the day! Ant is so talented and we had so many comments from guests on how brilliant he was. I wish I had video’d the day so I could hear it all over again! I would 100% book Ant again for any live music in the future. Thank you Ant!"

"Father’s Day Weekend with Joe and Gayle A plethora of high quality musical events greeted the mountain community on the long Father’s Day weekend. The weekend kicked off with the dynamite power trio, The Joe Ferraro Band, on the patio at Mountain High North on Saturday, June 17th. Forty-one vintage rock and blues offerings were delivered with high energy by Joe ( guitar and vocals) and the solid rhythm section of Phil Thomasson (bass) and Joe Faraci (drums). This veteran outfit featured vintage songs of Eric Clapton and Cream on “Badge”, “Outside Woman Blues”’, “Politician”, and “Strange Brew”. Joe Ferraro nailed the vocals and guitar artistry of arguably the best (“cream of the crop”) rock trio in history. The audience was treated to a fare by Howlin’ Wolf ((Spoonful; I ain’t Superstitious; Hootchie Cootchie Man)) and Ferraro’s own “Slewfoot”. Ferraro learned a thing or two from Albert King (“Crosscut Saw and Born Under a Bad Sign”);B.B.King (“Worried Life Blues”) and Freddie King (“I’m Tore Down”). The Fabulous Thunderbirds were well represented (“She’s Tuff” and “Tuff Enough”), as were Stevie Ray Vaughn (“Empty Arms” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb”). Want some Hendrix? How about “Stonefree and The Wind Cries Mary”? So many great songs played by Ferraro’s terrific group, if you closed your eyes, you would testify that Clapton had visited Wrightwood! "

"Hi Ivan I have had nothing but good reports from this end. “ Last night was absolutely brilliant, food good as usual and the entertainment, the Runaways, were brilliant and very professional and could they play their instruments. WOW.” was the response from members of the social committee here. I am fully booked for next year but when the social committee sit down at the beginning of next year, they will have you in mind for 2020. I will ask around to see if anyone took pics etc. Thank you again for a great evening. Martin Reid Membership Secretary New Milton Conservative Club. "

"Epic Energy, Incredible Event! We had the pleasure of hiring The Band Vizcaya for a corporate event in Miami! All I can say is WOW!!! They brought the energy and kept the group going all night long! They played a great mix of music, contemporary pop, classic rock, R&B, something for everyone! Can't thank them enough and can't wait to book them for another event! "

"Wow! One week on and I am still revelling in memories from my 50th birthday party with Herding Katz performing! They were AWEOME!!! I am honestly trying to think of a reason to host another party soon, just to get them to play again. All my guests raved about the band, songs played and how great it was that they were so engaging of the crowd. Friends are already planning on booking them for their parties in the future. Gary was so professional and friendly from first contact. We chatted about music genres and favourite bands, and straight away I knew they were exactly the band I was looking for. Good old pub sing-a-longs and rock classics from my youth. The band are a friendly group of guys who obviously enjoy music and performing. They had my young kids, party guests, myself, my hubby all up on stage at one time or another singing along or playing an instrument. No pressure, just fun! I seriously had the best birthday ever dancing, singing and partying while the band played. I can not emphasis how much fun Herding Katz were and how awesome the night was! So many great memories. I can’t thank these guys enough for making my party the huge success it was. Can’t wait to see you guys again and rock on! Thanks guys so much for the most amazing night of music and partying! I would be happy to recommend Herding Katz to anyone that was considering booking them. Do yourself a favour, you will have the time of your life!"

"One of the best classic rock bands around. We have seen them quite a few times now and they never fail to get us up and dancing. They are always updating their performances and always find a forgotten great rocker to pull out of the hat. Speaking of hats, their lead singer has a few and knows how to set the mood. All top notch musicians!!! "

"We hired The Catfish Kings for our wedding reception in November. The music was terrific and really made the party go with a swing. Everyone enjoyed themselves and there wasn't one song when the dance floor wasn't crowded - that says a lot! As for most weddings the age range was from children to a 96 year old and they all loved the music. My great nephews who were aged about 16 - 25 all had a great time and their Mum said that was the first time she'd seen them all up on a dance floor. Everyone was very sad when it was time for the band to pack up. So in summary the Catfish Kings are superb for a party of all ages. Valerie "

"Dear Lisa, Martin & the band, Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. I don't think that the dance floor was empty all night! Everyone enjoyed the range of music (something for everyone) and you were a great success. Good luck with the new baby! thanks again, Lucy & Chris Platt"

"From the very first time I saw/heard this band at the FAIRVIEW PUB I knew they were something special, what sets this band apart from most is the way they play as a seamless unit, great jams that can get you moving on the dance floor and every member of the band is a really nice person that will engage in a conversation with any fan. I have seen them play many many times and each time I leave I am left wanting more and awaiting the next show. If you have not seen this band I suggest you take the time to seek them out and hear what you have been missing"

"Liam sang at our wedding ceremony on July 2nd 2022 and he was just amazing. His communication before the wedding is great and so relaxed. He sent us clips of what his version of a song would sound like which was so nice of him. His renditions of our favourite songs during our special day meant so much to us. My family commented after the wedding that they’d never walked into a church with such a relaxed and fun atmosphere already set before the ceremony had even started. And that was all down to Liam’s singing and persona during the build up to the ceremony. Would absolutely recommend!"
