Photo of Osofrito Osofrito "Just watched Sofrito live tonight! Great sound, rhythm and vocals. Thoroughly enjoyed the set!" Based in Loughborough, England (9 miles from Leicester) Edel Concannon - The international Leicester Photo of Footloose Footloose "Martin and Roy played at my Birthday Party and it was absolutely Brilliant! The Dance floor was packed from the moment they started playing to the end of the evening. Everybody said how much they enjoyed the music. It was all the songs we new from the 60's to the 90's and some contemporary ones too. The sound was fantastic. It really sounded like a 6 piece band with backing vocals all at just the right volume. If you want a great fun band that can play all your favorite hits then look no further than Footloose. Their vocals and guitars were fantastic and the extra instruments they played on the backing were spot on. Thanks Footloose" Based in Grantham, England (28 miles from Leicester) Maggie Jamneson - Birthday Party Photo of The Soul D Band The Soul D Band "Soul D band was fantastic and really made our evening. They were professional and really interacted with the audience making their show a great experience for all of us." Based in Northampton, England (29 miles from Leicester) Terry Russell - Birthday Party Photo of One Hit Wonder Show One Hit Wonder Show "Played 2 sets plus background music, people got up and danced along, their music covered all decades 50’s to 2010 perfect choices, friendly guys too!!" Based in Lichfield, England (29 miles from Leicester) Kevin Wilson - 70th Birthday Photo of Reggae Winehouse Reggae Winehouse "I got an all-clear result from my PCR Test yesterday, so last night I ventured out to the Jam House to see how much the Brummie music culture had advanced during my almost 2-year absence. Last nights gig was a new venture called Reggae Winehouse a Brummie band with three vocalists doing Reggae versions of Amy Winehouse's repertoire. I liked the idea, and so did a lot of other Brummies who turned out to make a fantastic night. I am old enough to remember when the Windrush Generation started to arrive in Brum bringing their love of music and enjoyment with them. A few of that generation were present last night along with their grandchildren. By the time that the second set started the Jam House was bouncing around St Pauls Square and you couldn't tell the difference between the multiple ethnicities on the dancefloor, we were all just Brummies filled with Joy. I semi walked semi danced on my way home in the early hours, thinking to myself how lucky I am to be a Brummie. The Jam House did our City proud last night, and after 10 years I finally saw the lead singer I always knew was in there. Take a bow Leonie Smith and the rest of your brilliant band !! #nuffsaidfred #ILuvMyCity" Based in Sutton Coldfield, England (29 miles from Leicester) Fred rose - Live gig Photo of The Ultimate Party Band UK The Ultimate Party Band UK "We first saw you when you were presenting the karaoke in the 270 bar, you have got such charisma and charm. Our children loved dancing and singing along to your songs, you created a lovely atmosphere. What a talented group you are, I'm sure you will all go far. Thank you" Based in Chesterfield, England (44 miles from Leicester) Emma Louise
