Venue : Absolute Bowie @ Boom Boom

Pete,
We thought Absolute Bowie were brilliant. Although I favour the music from
the Ziggy era his second set was first class and we enjoyed it even more.
Probably one of the best debutant tributes ever seen at the Boom Boom.
Get them back soon.

Dear Pete,
Just wanted to say what a fantastic night it was for us at the Beaverwood Club. I said 6 months ago that you had found another winner of a gig when that was our first time there. So 6 months on and to a much bigger crowd and the band being six months tighter with loads of new songs, it was all set for a performance that was filled with mind blowing individual performances in every department. The crowd were brilliant both in their participation when asked for, and applause in recognition of fantastic solos. It is such a pleasure to play for your audiences who really are true afficionados and know what they want
and who respond in all the right places. We just played at the Harley Davidson Weekender at Bisley where the band stepped up another notch and touched thousands of new supporters.We just keep getting better and better and we are really looking forward to our return to Zoom at the Moon in Herne Hill on August 16th where you can also get great pizzas !!! and our "Mods and Rockers Gig at the Boom Boom Club on Friday the 22nd August. Now I urge you to come and see this band if you haven't before as it is a celebration of all Sixties Mod material from 1964 - 1970 but there are exceptions as we throw in some heavier stuff from Zeppelin and we have a lot of new stuff lined up for the Boom Boom. We are without doubt the hardest working band on Petes circuit and by that I mean we put 500% into every gig. Tickets for the 22nd are going fast as there is a lot of interest in this gig so please order early !!! We look forward to seeing you all at these gigs and once again a huge Thank You to Pete for making it all happen.
Love Johnny Ola x x x

Venue : Man at the Boom Boom Club

Hi Pete,
I very much enjoyed MAN on Saturday, I thought the keyboard player was outstanding. A slightly different line-up to when I last saw them in Worcester Park, same drummer and Martin on bass of course. I love the rhythms they create, they can become quite complex but not jazzy, good sound. I liked the two young guys on guitars, they were were excellent.

Venue : Ian Parker at Boom Boom Club

Message: First time at the Boom Boom Club in London - drove up to see Ian and the band. What can I say, guys? Another great night of emotional blues from the best modern-day exponents in the UK. By a long way. This is the future of UK blues - bring it on.

4 bills and a ben were brilliant as usual they are by
far the best band at the boom boom, please let us have more of them,
they are not on as often as they used to be I have been going to their
gigs since the Worcester Park days.
|
|
I agree with the last post, every time I see the 4 Bills I just think they get better and better no matter who is in the line up they are always great. Would love to see them at the Boom Boom more often. Roll on August when we get the Mods and Rockers set from the Lads.

Just wanted to say what a great night it was with 4Bills last Friday. I dont think I have witnessed a performance quite like that before in my entire life, especially as they were literally melting before my eyes. They worked so hard and really got the crowd going. Different guiatr player but he was solid and it did not affect the overall show.Sax player was mindblowing and to be honest the whole band are mindblowing and Johnny the singer is a great frontman. Cant wait for the next gig but he said that they are doing less gigs now at the club? If you can get em back soon Pete that would be great. Thanks for a fantastic night of brilliant all round musical brilliance. Well done Pete

JOHN O'LEARY BAND 11-Jul-08
What an uplifting experience! As is always the case, John assembled a dream band for our entertainment, and they delivered 100%. Jules's cool and unassuming guitar, which soared to exhilarating crescendos and fabulous slide work; Jools's brilliant keyboards providing an excellent accompaniment and several dazzling solos; Roger's amazing six-string bass which at times sounded like a sultry lead guitar; and Joachim's power-house drums. John had apologised for having nearly lost his voice, but his harp playing was brilliant as usual. Lorna was drafted in for vocals on some numbers, which was an unexpected treat, and as the gig evolved, John's voice got stronger and there were some great duets between him and Lorna.
The music was amazing. It's brilliant to see such craftsmen working together to create something new and exciting when they get together - they all work in different bands so had a system of nods and cues to keep it all together, which worked exceptionally well with quiet subtlety increasing to wailing hard rock.
Fantastic - you really should not miss this band when they play at a venue near you!

Hi Pete,
Attended both Roadhouse CD launch gigs for new album "Sea Of Souls" and was absolutely blown away!! They killed at Whetstone and fairly ripped at Sutton to boot! Forgoten just how powerful the band's delivery is live with three excellent female vocalists. Please get them back again soon.

Hi Pete,
A belated but honourable mention for Michael Katon & Band back on Saturday, 16th May. Absolutely murderous singing, guitar playing (especially slide work) and overall performance. "Boogie Man from Hell"? I should coco!!

P.S. Been waiting for years to catch an opportunity to see this guy. Tell him not to leavce it so long next time!

Hi Pete,
I enjoyed Wellalive very much, but I thought The Small Fakers were fantastic, they really capture the sound of the original band very well and are also a little more poppy in their playing which of course the original band were also pretty poppy.
They also did some of the less well known songs which is great and I will certainly be along to see them again.
Best wishes, Jeff

Dear Pete,
Just wanted to say thanks for a really good night on Saturday at Zoom @ The Moon, Popa Chubby and his band really were the business! He was a lot more chatty between numbers than when l remembered the Break for the Border gig all those years ago.
We ended up at the bar with the drummer and bassist who were charming and as they left Jane poked her head in the people carrier and told them they couldn't be "fucking rock stars as there wasn't a jaccuzi in it"!! Ted gave her a kiss for this which she is now telling everyone about!
See you soon.
Pete.

Just wanted to say what a terrific gig that was last night at Zoom @ The Moon. I’ve not seen Popa Chubby before (wanted to, but not been able to make the gigs), I\'m really glad to have caught him live at last, he was just excellent.
Thanks and keep up the good work.

What a brilliant night is was on Friday. For those that were there they witnessed one of the best nights so far at the B & B. Not the best night but most certainly one of them. First up was Jay Tamkin and what a good set this young band put in.
Then, just before 10.00 Popa Chubby took the place by storm and the winds were still blowing a gale at 12.15.
Congratulations Pete for puttung on another great gig.
For those of you that could not make this gig..........you should watch out for the next time Popa hits the UK.

Hi Pete,
Thank you so much for bringing over the Steve Fister Band last weekend. "Stadium Rock/Blues show in a club", was how one of my friends described the gig. Steve truly is a virtuoso guitarist and showman and his power trio band are as good as anything out there. Surely only a matter of time before he is as well known in the UK as someone like Joe Bonamassa (who also plays your venues)!
Best regards,

Venue : Zoom @ The Moon/Skinny Molly

Hi Pete
Excellent gig last night with Skinny Molly. Thanks for the help with directions and times that I requested. Skinny Molly really are the bis. The best Freebird outside Skynyrd themselves and Mike Estes always seems so relaxed. Doesn\'t appear to be working hard, but sounds excellent, he just seems so natural. Can\'t wait to see them again.
Thanks again for putting on yet another great gig.
All the best
Mal & Mary
PS - Now we know we can make it to Herne Hill, I\'m sure this won\'t be the last time you see us there.

Venue : Beaverwood

Saw Skinny Molly on the 17th of April and they were truly stunning (a version of Freebird to die for)and real gents to talk to.We're making the trip over to Herne Hill on the 3rd to see them again.To anyone reading this,please don't miss this one.Bands of this calibre don't come around that often

What an excellent gig last Saturday night. Dirty DC took the place by storm.
Pete, you seem to have found North London a premier music venue. Congratulations and thank you to you and the landlord at the B & B. Not to mention Ian and the regular team.
Some great bands have already appeared over the last 9 months or so and the gig list looks excellent for the coming year. I hope that you continue to get the support that this venue deserves.
Cheers.

Venue : New Bull & Butcher, Whetstone

Dirty DC were awesome at Whetstone!! The music room was packed and like a sauna by the end of the show! Talk about a tribute act that just does what it says on the tin! Also quite surprised that they were brave enough to slip a couple of lesser known Bon Scott-era songs into the set "Down Payment Blues" & "Cold Hearted Man" from the Powerage album. Brought my brother and his mate down and they absolutely loved it!
Best regards,
Darren

Great gig with Imagine The Beatles at the Music Palace Pete, thanks!

Once again you have provided a gig that just blew me away, what a fantastic and inspired guitarist Chris Duarte is, and the rest of the band are certainly no slouches either, superb bass playing from Joseph patrick Moore. Please bring Chris back as soon as you can!
Thanks Pete.

Venue : Boom Boom

I have waited a good number of years to see the great Chris Duarte and once again you come up trumps and give me and fellow blues fans the opportunity to experience great music on our doorsteps.
I was not disappointed and last night was magic. Firstly the Matt Bullard Band warmed us all up nicely for what can only be described as, in your words, a mesmerising experience.
Keep surprising us and I do hope you can use your influence to bring the great man back again in the not too distant future.

A great night at the Beaverwood last night with Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash. A nice little venue and right on my doorstep, with the promise of more gigs to come! To see Argus performed live in its entirety is the fulfillment of an ages old desire for me, so you'll perhaps forgive a 50 something music fan a few tears of utter joy as the band reached the crescendo of Throw Down the Sword, peformed brilliantly by all and all credit to you for bring this talented band to this neck of the woods

Hi Pete,
many thanks for your email.
It was nice talking to you at the MAN concert.
It was only later that I realised that we didn't have
a beer together. Anyway, the concert was fantastic
and it was good to see so many people attending -
you really did a great job promoting the concert, man!
I had a great time and it was nice of you introducing me
to all these people. After the concert I even had the opportunity
to have a long talk with my hero Phil Ryan (not just one of Britain's
finest keyboarders in rock music, maybe the best of them all).
On Wednesday I took the coach to Wolverhampton where MAN
played another gig. Great too, that was, but unfortunately only
one encore and no Spunk Rock.
Anyway, the band is in such great shape with Phil having rejoined
that I do believe I'll be back in the UK to see them on their next tour
and then I'll definitely see them again.
Bye for now,
Mathias

Hello Pete,
I just had to send a THANK YOU mail after the brilliant Man gig at Herne Hill last night, that was the best I have seen them play so far (and that includes two 100 club gigs), it may have had something to do with Wales winning the grand slam at rugby, as most sheep worriers are very passionate about their rugby, I have a Welsh mate in Australia who has been creaming himself over it!!!
It's odd but after the Green Man I had kind of got out of the habit of seeing live music, and have not bothered for nearly a year, except for the odd foray to the Boom Boom, that is until Amen corner at Beaverwood last week and now the excellent Man and I hope Rolling Stoned on Thursday and maybe even sinner boy the week after

Last night was a fabulous success. Didn't get off to the most promising of starts with the band's gear turning up late but the sound engineer deserves a lot of praise for getting everything up and running in no time.
Oli Brown, however, was completely cool as usual and nothing seems to worry the kid. I am convinced that he improves every time we see him and he is going to be mega in time. Can't wait to see him for the long awaited album launch and it will be interesting to see who the guests are!!! I enjoyed it when he jammed with Walter Trout and he didn't disappoint when Buddy invited him to do the same.
I have seen Buddy on a number of occasions with John Mayall but it was great to see the great man up close and personal. He had a great band and he performed brilliantly. Like most bands that play the Boom Boom you got the feeling that he thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Keep up the excellent work and we will see you soon.
Phil

Hi Darren,
I've got a pretty long way to drive and so I just wanted to know how long Jeff is on stage. I'm afraid I could be disappointed if it's a rather short set.
How long do you think he was on stage? About 45 minutes? Or longer?
Thank you for your answers!
PS: I registered at the JFF-Forum but it takes quite a long time till they activate the account there.

Hi Pete,
Just wanted to express my thanks for the wonderful Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash gig last Friday. This was the fifth time I've seen MTWA and they continue to go from strength to strength. The second Argus set was a sheer triumph in execution, delivery and also in the way that it was received by the rabid capacity audience. The volume and enthusiasm of the cheers quite surprised me!
Best regards,
Darren

I'm sorry Andreas I can't remember either the setlist or the number of songs that Jeff performed with Tempestt as I'm still not that familiar with his solo material. He was on stage for a good amount of time however. Why not just wait to be surprised at the upcoming gig? Have you tried asking your questions on the JSS forum at all?
Best regards,
Darren

Can you tell e how many songs Jeff did?
Thank you!

Hi Pete,
Just wanted to say that you were so right re. JSS/Tempestt - they rock and no mistake!!
Solid metal support from Crimes Of Passion then excellent set from Tempestt and then closing set with JSS & Tempestt together. Deep Purple's Burn (played as an encore) was hot enough to strip paint off the walls...

Hello, Pete - I just wanted to say how absolutely BRILLIANT the Mods and Rockers were on Friday night!!!! The Mods have always been my absolute favourite band of all the ones I've seen, and to have the "rocker" stuff as well is pretty much perfection for me!! Those guys are awesome – everything they do is touched with gold. I was in heaven and wish they could have carried on all night! A HUGE thank you to everyone for such a fantastic evening and please get them back as soon as possible!!
Thanks for making it happen!

Pete, I would just like to say what a fantastic set The Mods played last Friday at the Boom Boom, in the style of the guy on Masterchef, 'this band just gets better'. I thought it was the best set and best played Mods gig I have seen. They are without doubt the best band to play at the club, (in my humble opinion). To rehearse for six hours shows so much commitment to playing live music. The audience really did respond to the energy, volume and musicianship. Can't wait for the next gig. Jeff

Venue : Beaverwood Club

It's always a complete unknown as you face up to new venues and Pete Feenstra's latest find was another one of those......... wonder what it will be like? scenarios. Pete rarely puts a foot wrong as he meticulously researches new places to promote and launch, and quite often when I call him, he is out looking, and it is the sort of work that is unpaid and I imagine laborious at times. However I liken it to the old Gold Rush when suddenly a discovery is made and Bingo. Well he has done it again with the Beaverwood Club.
What a gem of a venue, with a flexible layout, with 2 bars and an owner who is prepared to listen to suggestions, and I think they are really onto a winner. Throw in a truly great band like The Mods and you have a corker of a night, and so it proved!!

Its not often I feel the compulsion to write a note good or bad. However on this occasion I’m going to make an exception. Don’t worry, it’s all good.
On Saturday 12th January myself and a few friends came to the Boom Boom Club to see Dirty D/C..(darn good band I have to say). This is by no means our first gist as there are not many places to go anymore that have decent live music, so thumbs up for that.
What I’m actually writing to you for is to sing the praises of your bar staff. Never before have I been to such a busy venue and been able to go to the bar on several occasions and get served straight away by polite, pleasant and very importantly smiling bar staff. Not only that, but on our return they even remembered our previous order.
There’s nothing more annoying than paying good money to see a band at a venue and then miss a lot of the act because of incompetent staff.
Yours are EXCEPTIONAL.
You should be very proud of your team headed up by (I believe if memory serves Steve). Please pass on my congratulations to him and the team.
Thank again for a really good (well deserved) evening.
Best Regards,
Karen Hitchman and Gill

Dear Pete,
I came to see Michael Shenker the other night , and I must say how good it was. Having seen Michael a few times before, (the good the bad and the ugly) the man was on top form as were the Friends. Thanks for the chance to see this genius at the top of his game, up close and personal and to shake his hand after was a real privilege, thank you very much

Schenker = God. I still can't quite believe that Michael was in such an intimate venue. I missed the signing session after the show, but Michael did sign my tour programs and stop for a photo just as he was getting into his car when he could have quite easily ignored us - WHAT A STAR. Cheers Pete for getting Neil and myself in at such short notice, the drive from Bedford was well worth it.

Have to agree with all being said about the Schenker gig - it's the best I've seen him for many a year, he even seemed to enjoy it himself. great current line up - does he really need Barden & Co on this form?
Keep the falg flying for decent live music as you're our only hope in the south London area

Great gig with Michael Schenker cheers for putting him on mate. It’s such a shame I turned up late, had loads of problems, but it was a dream come true to see him play, people don't realise how influential he
was on the development of modern rock. And well if I were you I’d try
and get him to play Whetstone as i am sure he may consider it as an
extra date as that place will fill up twice over !
Amazing stuff. I had heard he was unwell recently poor bloke, but shame
on the music industry if they let guys like him go to pot when they are
going through a bad time....the public is always there for him, and
well, great on you for getting him to play at Sutton.
All the best

Firstly - special thanks to Pete for this event for happening - absolutely brilliant, my favourite guitarist playing at a venue I had only played at 5 months previously with a band called MiRMiS.
Secondly lets cut to the chase Schenker was absolute quality!!! I counted 1 mistake in the entire gig, as a guitarist i thought it was different gravy, it was class of a different kind. His melodic soloing, riffing, interaction with audience was top notch, he was a machine (my cousin thought he was like the terminator) and a special word to the rest of the band, especially drummer Thomas Broman had more fills than John Bonham, and michael j fox lookalike Thomas Torberg - fantastic peformances. Michael Schenker is on top form at the moment circa 1978 or 1981, and guys and gals if you missed out this time around you are lucky 'cos he is hopefully back later this year, and after a brief chat with him hopefully natural thing will be in the setlist!!! Alrighhhtaaaa!!!!

Great to see Michael Schenker back on form and playing at a more intimate venue.. looked like he was really enjoying the experience and definetely on top of his game! Rolled through just about every classic schenker track there is and he was out with the fans after the gig to do photos and autographs.. excellent night and gonna definetely make the trip up to Colchester to see him at Twist!

Dear Pete,
The Michael Schenker & Friends gig last night at Sutton was simply awesome! You were right, Michael is playing at the top of his game currently and he had great support from his band. It was no less than a real hard rock masterclass and well worth the round trip across London for!

Hello Pete,

Just a short e-mail to thank you and obviously Mr Schenker for a top top evening. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the guy I saw supporting Scorpions at Hammersmith last year was playing a club in Sutton. So whatever you did to get him here thanks it was great to see such a legend enjoy himself so much (which was obvious)

Dear Pete,
The Deeply Purple gig was wonderful at Whetstone last Saturday. Tell them not to leave it so long (18 months?) to return to North London next time!
Best regards,

Pete,
I just wanted to let you know that we went to see Are You Experienced, the Jimi Hendrix tribute band before Xmas and also Rollin' Stoned just before the New Year at the New Bull and Butcher. The first of these – The Hendrix band - was really excellent (and the evening would have been even better but for the disappointing turnout which, I believe, was due to the last minute booking).
The Stoned however, were absolutely unbelievably good and I've got to say that I haven't enjoyed a concert so much for a long time. Obviously, the turn out was much better for the latter event because, I understand, the gig was better publicised; the band's performance was awesome and I would rush back to see them again. What are the chances of getting them back to this venue? Incidentally, I would also happily come back to see the Hendrix band.
Carry on with the good work! You really deserve success with this venture.
Best wishes for 2008!

Hi Pete,
Many thanks to you for all you've done to keep live music going and still affordable in this part of the world. Bringing Devon Allman to the UK was inspired - what a great gig and Chris just can't stop playing the Honeytribe CD!
It may sound real corny, but music is so important to us and without the fruits of your tireless efforts and enthusiasm our lives really would be missing something.

Pete:
Thx so much for taking good care of Craig and me (the boys from Canada) at the Dvon Allman Zoom gig. Your hospitality, professionalism and enthusiasm brought me back to my playing days in the 70’s and 80’s when it was all about the hustle and buzz. You certainly accomplished that for Oli and Devon. For as great as the Zep show was for us, the night at the Half Moon was a great highlight of our trip. Let’s stay in touch.
Happy Holidays!
Cheers,
Ken

I would like to say how great Honeytribe were on Saturday. It was a really excellent set - we wished the drum and bass solos had been shorter, but otherwise brilliant. Hope they'll be back soon.
