Press and kind words

What event writers, planners and clients say about our Motown tribute band, followed by the press-kit facts a producer or procurement desk needs: stage plot, power, setup times and paperwork, all in one ruled list.

Straight answer

No press quotes, because we have not earned them yet

Most band press pages open with a wall of review pull-quotes and glowing client letters. Ours does not, for one reason: we would have to invent them. We would rather lose a booking to a band with a nicer quote wall than win one on a sentence nobody said.

When a writer covers a show or a client sends a letter we are allowed to publish, it will appear here with the publication, the date and the event it refers to, so you can check it. Until then this page is what it should be: the production facts a venue, AV team or procurement desk actually needs to say yes.
