SAT 17th       SOMETHING  REAL
                          Jonny Lang, Steve Miller, Cream, Police, Tom Petty and The Cult were all played in the 1st half,  great banter between gary and this lot and a big plus to the frontman the way he connected with them,   2nd half and its my turn to be pleased because by now the pubs pretty full and they're in time to hear, Aerosmith, Clapton, Kings of Leon  (not just sex on fire for a change) Free and Thin Lizzy amongst others, to many songs to remember really, so vast is this bands list of covers that they play.   So what you've got with something real is an all round great rock covers band thats sure to liven up any venue and 5 guys that will play something that most audiences will appriciate, what something real brought here was a winning formula of covers that works really well, you only had to hear the crowd at the end of their gig to know that.                                       www.somethingreal.org.uk

SAT  7th        BULLET
             RIFFS MAGAZINE review - TURBINIA 07   "The prognosis from tonights performance is definitely a thumbs-up - passion, energy & excitement are what BULLET deliver & watching the crowd at the TURBINIA go crazy for them,  then it's obvious they are on the way up very quickly. BULLET seem to have got it right & given the odd break or two could seriously be set to worry some of the more established bands  -  Watch out for BULLET, they could just have your name on them"

SAT 28th       REMEDY
          Colin Smoult Review - "As a rock covers band playing in our local pubs, then they are definitely an act worth going to see. My apologies for taking so long to catch back up with them, but the beauty of it all was that I was extremely surprised with the show that put on, and they certainly won me over. It was a very good performance that displayed a big development in them that should see them attract lots of new fans"

SAT 18th      RUSS  TIPPINS
         " His first set was done with an acoustic guitar, and it has to be said it was just like an intimate unplugged session you see on MTV , the atmosphere was amazing (As was his guitar playing ) all the songs he covered were ideally suited for an acoustic set, Russ just oozed confidence, The second set was back to the electric guitar and back to rock, all the classic rock bands were covered , Floyd, Zep, ACDC, Purple ,Stones, Santana, In summary this was the best one man show we had seen in a pub."  -  DAVYSROCKPAGE review

     RECENT REVIEWS FROM TOON ROCK PAGES     "AWESOME BAND, as ever they played absolutely brilliantly, Tommy as fantastic as ever (THE best frontman in the NorthEast, bar none, the man is an inspiration, a legend), Jeff playing goosebump solos on Hey Joe"
        "I can't believe how good they were. It was like walking into a pub, full of your best mates with the best goddam juke box you could hope for. Every member of the band is a really good and talented player. The timing was great, the entertainment value was great too. The audience (well packed) loved it from the off."

SAT  9th       ROCK  SOLID
SAT 16th      WITCHKRAFT
         “The first set was a good mix of well known songs from Montrose, Jethro Tull, Golden earring, Free and ACDC.
Second set was Deep Purple as this is their trade mark. Cliff on drums (ex white Noise) and Gaz on bass have created a really tight and punchy rythm section. Mr. Big was excellent, really showing off Gaz's skills.
John on vocals , was suffering with a chest infection but it didn't stop him delivering, with a good , high and gritty rock vocal.
Mal...is Mal. Looks and plays like Blackmore, has all the moves and the sound of Mr. B, but can also show he's really good at the other stuff as well.
All in all it was a good show, good crowd, nice choice of rock classics mixed with the best of Purple.”  -  jarekmace -  Gig Pit Review
SAT 23rd      THE KILL
         "The band took to the stage, from the off it was a great hard rock attack that set the vibe that would continue throughout the performance. Vocalist Gregg took centre point on stage and really went for it. Not just vocally but physically too! I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Office stage is bigger than most pub set-ups and it needs a band with a genuine physical presence to attract the audience's attention in a building of that size. They had that charisma about them. The rock style of the band continued on with a commercial AOR feel on such songs as Def Leppard's 'Animal', and even though the group did generally go down the path of recognisable rock anthems, it never became too cheesy or entirely predictable. I think they hit a marvellous balance of choosing songs that would have a larger appeal,   and yet still maintained an element where you weren't too sure what was coming next" -   Colin Smoult REVIEW.   Tracks covered by  -  BON JOVI  -  FOO FIGHTERS  -  DEF LEPPARD  -  GUNS N ROSES  - LINKIN PARK  -  METALLICA  OZZY  -  PEARL JAM  -  SKID ROW  -  POISON & MORE

SAT 30th      SABBATICA
        -  an evening of classic BLACK SABBETH music from the ossie era  -       davy’s rock page review  “The singer had great presence, even managing a stand up comedy routine in the middle of a broken string break!! The other three members of  the band were excellent, its unfair to give the lead guitarist all the lime light ,but lets face it the lead guitar is like the centre forward, he gets all the attention, and boy did this guy milk it and deliver some fret work that left us totally speechless, its not often we are totally blown away but this guy did it ,some of his solos made the hairs on the back of ya neck stand up, The bass was fantastic and the drummer gave an equally great performance, this may sound like we are going over the top but its not hype, we are paying £12 to see a U2 tribute band at the customs house, and to be  honest after Hearing SABBATICA  we would gladly pay the same amount to see them”.                                         www.sabbatica.co.uk
