"Thanks for a great evening of 70's 80's 90's & mr brightside, music which 95% of was my kinda stuff!
I was the long haired , white shirted dude having a dance on my mates 65th birthday do.
After a few pints , baby Guinness, shot of jd & a strange coulered spirit in a tiny bottle thoroughly enjoyed your stuff.
Not the loudest but a nice quality sound played with a great professionalism & made this 62 year old with a dodgy knee, dance like nobody was watching! Remembering the sounds of yester year when I was young! Ha ha
Hats off to you young guys keeping those sounds alive ...even the bassist who seems to have had a rough paper round when he was younger!
Highly recommend you lads!
Keep up the good work for us oldies to relive our youth!
Cheers!"
