"This show is a must see, We had them at our venue and they packed the place out and had people dancing on the floor all night. We can not say anything other than brilliant. The band was tight and on time and the show just blew us away. I would recommend anyone to see this show and we will have them back soon. Bubby Laxford Club 185."
