Hi all, It's Drew, I was really pleased to learn recently that my former Trio, now a Duo, Then and Now Tour, have recently reformed and are currently in rehearsals.
They're a lucky pair of Buggers, having secured a personal recommendation of support from DOM BROWN, who also happens to be Duran Duran's Lead Guitarist!!
Tracy F is an outstanding Vocalist and together with Shaun Paul Riley they're putting together a show that will blow you away!!

Hellooooooooooo!
We've been asked why our Gig Dates and Reviews no longer appear on the site.
ALL our dates AND reviews post New Year are available on request!!
It's an operational decision, and (at the risk of sounding a tad big headed) you can see from ALL our reviews that you can be certain of one hell of a night, no matter which show you book!!
Also, coming soon, news on additional show for the DDD Duo, " DADS DONT DANCE X RATED "
A show that will NOT be for the faint of heart OR easily offended.
There will be no holds barred, no subject off limits, and no member of the audience will be spared!!
Stay tuned Guys, it's coming!!

The coming months are looking very busy, and we're really excited about it!!!
The Duo, Trio and Diane's Solo work are all going exceptionally well and we all thank you for your continued support.
We have, between us, only one Goal for 2012, and that is to maintain, build and advance upon the high standards you have all come to expect from us.
This is borne out by the number of Venues that are asking for us by name and that are rebooking us.
Help support YOUR local Social or Working Mens Club and spend some time there, wherever it is.
Come and see ALL the great acts that are out there at the moment.

We're pleased to say that Drew has now almost recovered from the Chronic Laryngitis that has seen him having to take an extended 6 week break whilst he recovered.
With what is already looking like a very busy first quarter coming up, we're all mighty relieved he's almost recovered!!
Diane, in her true professional style, well and truly stepped up to the plate and stood in for Drew for all the DDD Gigs that were already arranged and ensured we kept our 100% record for never missing a Gig.
Our Professionalism and Versatility are beyond reproach and I (Drew) am very grateful to Diane for stepping in.
Keep an Eye out for Diane's Solo Show too, it's rather flipping good!!

We'd just like to thank Colin Young, the Concert Secretary of The Glendale Club, in Houghton Le Spring for his Hospitality there on Sat 17th September 2011.
It's rare to find a CC that takes such an interest in their visiting Entertainers, and you really showed us a nice welcome so we'd like to say thanks Colin, if you read this, you are a credit to The Glendale!!

Have to mention the Railway Arms, It's a FANTASTIC Pub that is one of our favourite places to play.
If you're in Brotton nr Satburn one night, check them out!
The Landlord Graham is an absolute Star and a real Gentleman.

At the risk of sounding a wee bit bitchy, we'd just like to say that the Videos on YouTube Channel are in every sense, live!
Not like some others out there that show a live Video, but dub a pre recorded Vocal over the top.
What you see, is entirely what you get with us, and we wanted you to know that!!!
Our Tracks have SOME pre-recorded instruments in them, but the Keyboard and Synth Stabs are played entirely live!!!

Have to say what an absolutely amazing night we had at Park Leisure, Heather View Holiday Park Stanhope.
As is the way of things, it is quite rightly the clients that decide if the act meet the standard, but we have to say that Heather View was an OUTSTANDING venue to play and we just felt that they were worth a special mention.
We had so much positive feedback that we still haven't stopped smiling.
Oh, yes, and they do the best house pizza EVER!!
Thanks for having us guys!!

About our reviews, we have had ( to our faces at least ) 100% positive feedback from all the venues we have played.
But sometimes, by the time we have finished our Encores and put our gear back in the Van, the Concert Chairman has left for the evening, and we refuse to make a comment up, so if a venue appears in our Gig list, but no comment in our reviews, then that is usually the reason why!
There's no point in fabricating positive feedback, it's bad for our profile and we'd rather our growing reputation spoke for itself through the reviews!!
