Harmonica Lewinsky & The Highway Patrol
"Last night I met up with some pals down at the very hospitable Mermaid Inn to check out the latest musical venture of the great Harmonica Lewinsky.
We’ve always been highly entertained by his music hall/cockney act and indeed his 60s/70s cover material, but this was to be something of a completely different flavour – a country/ western swing experience!
Launching into ‘Glendale Train’, Lewinsky and his band, The Highway Patrol, soon had the place rocking. The sound of finger pickin’ Dzal Martin’s Telecaster was the perfect accompaniment and upright bass player Ewan Penkey’s rhythm proved that no drummer was required.
As well as rockers such as ‘Panama Red’, ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ and the brilliant tongue-twisting ‘Hot Rod Lincoln’, Lewinsky and the boys were also able to deliver truly 'hurtin' & heartbreaking' melancholy classics such as Warren Zevon’s ‘Carmelita’ and Kenny Rogers’ ‘Ruby’.
Their touching version of Commander Cody’s ‘Seeds & Stems Blues’, featuring the wonderful pedal-steel guitar playing of John Davis, (who had been impeccable all evening) had me almost crying into my pretzels.
Personality and humour has always been an important part of Harmonica Lewinsky’s act and, with his usual banter and rapport, he certainly didn’t let us down. We particularly enjoyed the tongue-in cheek ‘All My Exes Live in Texas’.
Thanks for a great night, boys – we look forward to the next time."

HayLee Acoustic Duo
"After the success of their performance at our 2023 Christmas Tapas, we were so pleased to be able to book Hayley and Lee for both of this year's evenings. Their performance was brilliant, with the perfect mix of sing-a-long classics and Christmas tunes to get our customers in the festive spirit. They are so lovely to deal with and bring such a wonderful atmosphere with them. The perfect mix of professional, talented, fun and friendly, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend HayLee! Xx"
