Redhouse
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!
 
Redhouse are a breath of fresh air to the world of cover bands. They are a young and talented group of musicians that offer a vast repertoire but specialise in the latest guitar bands and festival favourites.
"Each song was played with skill and confidence, with drums, bass and two guitars contributing to a really polished sound. The vocal skills of the lead singer, Mike were amongst the best I have ever heard live - simply superb. Co-vocalist Martin was also excellent, and added great harmonies to several numbers. The bass player and drummer were a joy to listen too, tightly linking in and providing an irresistible beat to tap along to. The music choice was mainly modern rock covers from bands like Kings of Leon, U2 (great version of With Or Without You), White Stripes, Razorlight, Arctic Monkeys and many more. I look forward to seeing Redhouse again soon."

The Funky Mukkas
 
A brilliant 5 piece covers band with a comprehensive repertoire of songs and styles from the 60's to present and guaranteed to get any party started - fun, professional and highly entertaining. "I'd heard a lot about this band thru a couple of my girlfriends who have seen them a few times around Watford and west London and I was not disappointed! They've got a great sound, guitars and keyboards blending nicely (loads of piano and organ) and their singer's got a great voice. By the time they came on for the second set the whole place was in the mood, everyone cheering and singing along and us 3 girls had a great time. The whole pub was singing to "Sweet Caroline" then "500 Miles" and right at the end they played "I predict a riot" and the whole place erupted!

Purple Haze
 
A Tribute to the music of Hendrix, Clapton & Stevie Ray Vaughan.
"Raw, visceral, exciting and extremely entertaining! Vocally excellent and, particularly the lead guitarist, instrumentally brilliant, three guys having fun and at the same time producing THE most authentic-sounding Hendrix and Cream covers you are ever likely to hear. The classics 'Hey Joe' and 'Purple Haze' sounded as good as I ever heard Hendrix himself play them while their version of Hendrix's 'Johnny Be Good' had the whole pub up and rocking. Similarly with Cream's 'Crossroads' and 'White Room', if you closed your eyes you could have been forgiven for thinking it was the real thing. If you like Hendrix and Cream, make sure you get to a Purple Haze gig. You certainly won't be disappointed."
