Review Centre: Vintage Themed Bands

"Well hello, it’s Larry Richmond back on the entertainment scene, and so good to be attending live entertainment again. On Sunday 20th February I attended the Pheasantry in Chelsea, to see Lorraine & The Flames. This gig was produced by Aspects Productions and presented in association with Pizza Express Live. I had previously seen the band’s showreel and was looking forward to seeing them live on stage. The Pheasantry is one of London’s top two cabaret rooms. I arrived well in time to order a meal and a bottle of wine. The show started at 8.00 pm. The venue was full. After an introduction by the compere, Lorraine looking stunningly elegant in her long glittering dress entered the room from the above stage balcony and slowly descended the stairway singing her opening song. Throughout the 90 min show, consisting of two 45 min sets, Lorraine backed by her excellent band of piano, bass, drums, and guitar, gave us the best of the American songbook in a relaxed and stylish style which was a joy to hear and see. I understand that Lorraine Heavey was a successful professional performer in her native Ireland during the early part of her career, and then gave up performing to marry and start a family. How glad I am that this talented lady has decided to return to her showbiz career and is now performing again. Lorraine Heavey has that certain element that we call ‘star’ quality. I hear through the grapevine that Lorraine and The Flames will be performing again at the Pheasantry later this year on the 6th Sept and at another of London’s top cabaret rooms, The Crazy Coqs, on the 3rd of October. I for one look forward to seeing her on stage again. Larry Richmond Entertainment Reviewer February 2023 "

"We stopped by to see Miss Pearl do her Paloma Faith tribute act at the Milbourne Arms in Carlisle, last night. Miss Pearl was on point, singing all of Paloma's hits and some of her less known songs. She has an excellent voice and also did some of her vintage songs aswell. It was a thoroughly enjoyable night and we even had a dance. We will hopefully see Miss Pearl again soon, as we want to book her for an up-and-coming private party."

"Thomas was very attentive, ensuring he delivered exactly what we wanted for our joint party (21st birtday & 30th Wedding Anniversary) Thomas discussed beforehand the volume which we would like and would be most suitable. The performance was very professional and enjoyed by all Thank again Thomas Note this review was provided though a different system which rates out of 5, and received a 5 star rating (i.e. 5 out of 5)"

"Abbiamo scelto Tea For Three per il nostro matrimonio...gli avevamo già sentiti suonare più volte ad altri eventi e al nostro matrimonio hanno riconfermato la loro bravura. Tutti i nostri ospiti sono rimasti felicissimi e ci hanno fatto molti complimenti per la musica che gli ha intrattenuti piacevolmente per tutta la serata. Gli sceglierei altre 1000 volte!! Bravi ragazzi, siete i numeri 1 !!!"

"We were over the moon with Jess. She was amazing and made our day fantastic. She was happy to start earlier than previously requested and was a dream to have at the wedding. I wish I could write all of the compliments we had about Jess but I do not have space, everyone said how amazing she was. I highly recommend Jess for your events. I'm so happy we hired Jess, she sang our First Dance as Husband and Husband beautifully. Thank you. "

"What can I say? The Get Back Beats are the best band to ever play at my house! I recently organised a Festival themed party and wanted a great 4 piece band to open then bill… I was not disappointed. These guys were excellent! They played a fantastic couple of sets ranging from 60s and 70s classics to crowd pleasing 80s and 90s indie. So much more than I could have hoped for, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Fantastic musicians and thoroughly nice guys. Great to deal with and very professional & punctual. I’m just trying to think of a reason to book them again! Maybe when I turn 41! Many thanks for such a memorable day!"

"Muriele performs magnificently in our Moldy Fig wine bar at least twice a month. Her charisma and beautiful singing creates such a lovely dining experience for our customers. She has proved to be one of the most popular entertainers with many repeat customers. You Muriele are a joy to have as an entertainer because of your lovely laid back personality. Great voice, great person, great act. Thank you ​ Jamie Mathieson Director Of The Concorde Club Eastleigh ​"
