"Just had a listen to you guys on Bandcamp, beautiful stuff!!"
Mayhem
"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023
It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie.
This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene.
Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016.
Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie.
Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds.
The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song.
Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands.
So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half.
Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69.
If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he
re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance.
Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer
A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again.
My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.

Roger Lewin Piano
"It was a very worthwhile booking. Roger, Phil and Sarah-Jane provided our Group with great music that afternoon. Highly recommended"
Edward Katherine Piano
"From the moment of booking there was excellent communication and we felt in very safe hands. Ed was such a brilliant addition to the day playing on both a grand piano and keyboard for our wedding breakfast and cocktail hour. He was really flexible when our timings changed and was a lovely presence on the day. Our guests remarked how brilliant his playing was and how fantastic it was to have a live pianist on the day. We would highly recommend Ed Katherine."
Eternal Triangle
"I met Trevor Watts and his Eternal Triangle band for the first time in 2022 at Cafè Oto in London.
It was a fantastic concert, I really enjoyed everything from the band. The percussionist Jamie Harris provided a strong and vigorous accompaniment with his bongos and cymbals, keyboardist Veryan Weston added his immaginific sounds to the ensemble and Trevor Watts stood out for his inventiveness, freshness of phrasing and audience involvement.
It was a joy to meet the band members after the show and remain in contact with them over time. We were able to put together a first Italian tour in February 2025 and we're looking forward for new shared adventures.
The great musicality of this projects makes it enjoyable from any kind of audience, from people not familiar with creative music to fine jazz connaisseurs.
Trevor Watts is undoubtedly one of the main protagonist of European jazz and the work he has done with this band is simply amazing and worth to be discovered.
Very recommended (especially when they are on tour!)"

"Lovely musician with a great set of instruments. Best 40th birthday party ever!"
