“They blew the centre away with a relentless series of Southern fried, bluegrass stompers. Creedence, Steve Earle, Johnny Cash and a host of others were all served up with verve, vim and vigour. All that was missing was Ellie Mae Clampett and boiled crawfish. “Duelling Banjos”, an excellent rendition of a much-derided classic.” “During “Proud Mary” one of the best harmonica solos I have ever heard, an electrifying performance.” Trevor Smith - West Kirby Arts Centre
