"We had the pleasure of receiving the Elton John Tribute Show at Rhodes on Saturday 1st February 2014. The production played to a near capacity house, all of whom enjoyed the show immensely. Iain, as Elton John, didn't fall into the trap of doing an 'impression' of Elton John, choosing instead to concentrate on strong vocals and a relaxed conversation style with the audience that took them along on a journey. He was supported by a group of exceptionally talented musicians who faithfully recreated the music in a tight and vibrant style. In an age of half-hearted and slack 'tributes' this was a breath of fresh air and I would not hesitate to look at a return booking in the near future. PHIL DALE Artistic Producer Rhodes Centre"

"James Haslam is a consummate performer, and the fact that he shows great skill and flair when he is on stage proves he is demonstrating a sincere homage and respect for the real Elvis. It is no surprise that he won a Diversity Award at the recent Porthcawl Elvis Festival. James’s rapport with the audience is immediate encouraging enthusiastic participation – bringing nearly all his audience onto his stage. It’s all there: the gyrating hips, the lip curl, the arm movements, the shaking of the torso. This is an act of pure robust energy performed in a unique style. Upbeat, joyful and immense fun. Elberace works because Haslam has studied the man, the legend, and what Elvis stood for as an exceptional showman and the ‘King of Vegas’. Stand out numbers include Walk A Mile In My Shoes and Suspicious Minds. A fabulous show – and I’m sure James’s star will rise to great heights on the current cabaret circuit (10 / 10) "

"Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute : Un nouvel orchestre sur la Côte d’Azur Alors que les évènements culturels sur la Côte d’Azur comme partout en France rencontrent cet été 2020 de grandes difficultés à se maintenir en raison des contraintes sanitaires, un nouvel orchestre, dédié aux musiques des films de Quentin Tarantino vient de voir le jour : Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute. Cet orchestre composé de 10 membres, instrumentistes et chanteurs, proposent un répertoire basé sur les chansons et instrumentaux utilisés par Quentin Tarantino dans ses films. On a parfois reproché à Tarantino de ne pas commander de musique originale. Dans ses six premiers films il a préféré utiliser des pépites rock, country, rockabilly, surf music, funk, (« Reservoir Dogs », « Pulp Fiction », « Jackie Brown », « Death Proof ») mais aussi quelques extraits et effets sonores tirés de westerns, de films de série Z ou séries des années 50/60, de films de kung-fu (« Kill Bill »). A partir de 2009 et son film « Inglorious Basterds », il commence à utiliser des musiques écrites pour d’autres films, notamment de Morricone et Luis Bacalov. Il puise ainsi dans le répertoire des westerns-spaghetti. Dès lors, ses prochains films vont contenir à la fois des musiques et des chansons originales, mais aussi toujours des titres plus « vintage », choisis dans sa propre discothèque de vinyles. En dehors de ses propres réalisations, Tarantino a scénarisé et parfois aussi joué dans plusieurs autres films. Parmi eux, l’excellent « Une Nuit en Enfer » (From Dusk till Dawn) de Robert Rodriguez, dont la bande son est particulièrement rock. Tous les bikers de chaque Bandidos MC aimeraient avoir un Titti Twister pour y débuter leur soirée. C’est justement grâce à un orchestre tel que Call me Winston qu’on peut imaginer des événements, soirée thématique autour du cinéma et de l’univers décalé qu’on rencontre dans les films de Tarantino. La composition de Call me Winston – the Tarantino tribute, avec section rythmique complète et section cuivres lui permet de couvrir une grande partie du répertoire utilisé dans les films de Tarantino. Un couple de chanteur/chanteuse permet encore d’élargir les possibilités. Outre le fait qu’ils sont tous d’excellents musiciens, les membres de Call me Winston développent un coté visuel « 100% Tarantinesque », avec un look inspiré des bandits de « Reservoir Dogs » ou des tueurs de « Pulp Fiction ». Construit comme un parcours musical à travers les films et la diversité de ses styles, le spectacle présenté par Call me Winston plaira à un large public. En outre, avec quelques clins d’œil çà et là, les fans de Tarantino se régaleront. "
