Photo of Ctrl Alt Repeat Ctrl Alt Repeat "I saw this band last night at the Port House in Stourport and honestly, they’re the best live band I’ve seen in a long time. From the first song to the last, they absolutely nailed it. The energy in the room was amazing — you could tell they weren’t just playing songs, they were putting on a proper show. The vocals were spot on and the setlist was perfect for the crowd. Every song had people singing along, dancing, or filming because it was just that good 🤘🎸 🥁" 18th March 2026 Diane Corkin Photo of Jungleman Jungleman "Love The Music. Love The Vocals. Like To See You Perform Live" 28th May 2026 Dwayne - Personal Photo of John Madeley - Solo Acoustic John Madeley - Solo Acoustic "John is a fantastic performer, great song selection playing a lot of 80’s alternative hits! Great crowd interaction! Will definitely hire again!" 1st July 2026 Ray Schneider - Private event Photo of Zora Zora "Zora was extremely helpful after I had found their work through youtube; helped with creating an original ost for my upcoming short film. They took feedback well whilst offering their own insight to how they could better enhance the performance. Would recommend to anyone!" 2nd September 2026 Max Hogan - Independent Animator Photo of Blood Moon Mafia Blood Moon Mafia ""Luna is a star."
