"100 percent recommended! With or without loop station Phileas plays creative cover versions from the Beatles to David Bowie and Queen to Edward Sharpe. We could choose from a list of over 300 songs! We were absolutely thrilled and so were our guests!"

" Rev. Ferriday And The Longdogs, Unforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies. Album Review. Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * As Donald Rumsfeld once said, so famously causing the scratching of heads in consternation and dismay, “There are known knowns and unknown knowns…” yet somehow such double talk and heroic word play should be left to Rev. Ferriday and The Longdogs, for in their new albumUnforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies, the lyrical force of nature is far and away more direct, succinct and wonderfully managed than anything a politician could scramble together. Unforgettable is a mark that deservedly belongs to the band, the memorable and the cherished going hand in hand as their deep love of the Blues comes bounding across with enthusiastic vigour and in the case of this new album, with a darker edge, with an anger of the age attached to it, still very much enjoyable but somehow more threatening, more beautifully intimidating and yet at the same time never once wavering in its commitment to allow the listener to internally dance and shake loose; the Devil after all will always allow the angels to boogie on down. Everyday lies, whether those we tell ourselves to keep us going in the face of adversity or those we pronounce to others in order to impress or deflect our feelings, each one has its symbolic value; the same is said for the true-isms, the emphasise on what is clear and unvarnished, perhaps even understated, yet at all times striking and rich. Unforgettable Trues and Everyday Lies allows the freedom of movement within the confines of Blues to be explored and with Neil Sadler on bass, Scott Hunter on drums, the fabulous Owen Bray on harmonica and Else Black lending some terrific backing vocals, Rev. Ferriday captures the mood with pin-point accuracy. In tracks such as Broken People, Breaking Down, Shooting From The Hip and How Long, the music is contagious, it sweeps through the veins like a miniature train buffeting against stereotype intuition and scraping down in blocks of perpetual indifference with ease. This is an album that emphasises the battle in the way that words are seen and felt, it takes a writer of absolute skill to make a menacing note come across as nothing less that beauty personified and yet Rev. Ferriday manages with absolute conviction. A joy to be back in the company of Rev. Ferriday and The Longdogs, a fact of life that gets better and better each time they come around. Ian D. H"

"Charles played at our wedding on Saturday and he was amazing! All of our guests commented on how great he was and that the live music was a perfect addition to the ceremony. We would highly recommend him to others looking for that extra something special! "

"The Best Saxophonist!!! We hired Seps for my Sisters Quinceañera and let me tell you…. HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! From the moment we got into contact with him he was extremely professional and was quick to respond. At the party, he played a little bit of everything like spanish ballads, reggaeton, R&B, Rock en Español and other genres; it made guest of all ages extremely happy. We even requested a specific father daughter song and he learned it just for our event. His energy is awesome and it gets everyone on the dance floor! We loved him, our guest loved, him, and he made that night extra special!"

"I cannot stress enough how superb Rick is. Right from the start and throughout he remained calm, professional and he clearly has a passion for his craft. I was nervous about organising the event but Rick arrived on time, and politely introduced himself - and as I saw him setting up my nerves were calmed as I knew the night was going to be good. He got everyone up and dancing away with both his guitar set and DJ set! It would have genuinely not been the same without him and I would 100% vouch for him for any such events that people may have in the future. I shall be keeping his details! Overall, a great guy, a great singer, and I really would not hesitate to book him again. Thank you so much Rick! Will M p.s. Glad the mic is okay haha!"

"Gary was wonderful. He arrived on time, dressed professionally, and adjusted to the mood of the group. He was also great to work with because the nature of our event caused us to move from room to room and he did it with ease. He also of course is a talented musician and has a great voice - he even took some requests from the group. I would not hesitate to book Gary again!"

"Petar's performance at our yacht party was the highlight of the evening. His ability to seamlessly blend singing and playing created a relaxed yet lively atmosphere perfect for the occasion. The way he interacted with the guests and adapted his set to the mood on board was impressive. While a few songs were less familiar to some attendees, his charismatic presence and talent kept everyone entertained. Petar's music added a special touch to our event, making it a night to remember. I would definitely recommend him for any gathering, especially where a vibrant and engaging ambiance is desired."
