FAMILY STYLE & SIMON CURRIE 23.04.10

"What a great concert last night! Your scouting system is first class. I just had to say how much (we) enjoyed it.  We also enjoyed Simon Currie, his was a very different angle on the blues.  We bought all the CDs and even got a T shirt.  Bellissima!". Cliff (Allerton, Bradford).

"Just to say how much we enjoyed Family Style, a nice gentle 'style' they had rather than all the frantic guitar solos from so many other bands. A band that knows to leave gaps between notes - not many about!" John (Darwen, Lancashire).
