Testimonials
“Played a great gig with The Blunter Brothers last weekend. Nice camaraderie between the guys and a good vibe” said Pee Wee Ellis!
“When I started listening to the tracks, I thought it was a recording of us 20 years ago! You guys really nailed it. Good, tight band”.
Hollie Farris – James Brown’s trumpeter/bandleader from the 80’s
Dear Dave,

Hi Dave
I was one of the two photographers at the wedding at Blenheim Palace. Just to say I really enjoyed your music, I think you guys were fabulous. I see a different band at a wedding almost every Saturday, and you really stand out.
