C.H.U.D. Atlanta Show Review
"What's amazing is how these four guys can fill a room with the tightest and most intricately delicious music with what superficially seems like nothing fancy. There's no smoke and mirrors with these boys. They're normal looking chaps with guitarist Eddie Roberts playing a big-bodied Gibson, keyboardist Joe Tatton sitting at one organ using a very limited amount of sounds, bassist Pete Shand grooving away in the background, and drummer Simon Allen doing his thing tight as anyone's business but without theatrics."
BEST KEPT SECRET
"A fanciful, debonair & dashing array of remixes - like having an open air martini with James Bond on Brighton beach" - Nick Matthews
JELLY JAZZ
"A simple review: listen to the samples, marvel at the sounds within, buy the record... 10 out of 10"
WAH WAH 45
