'I am an addict. They play wonderful music, create a great atmosphere and you just want to get up and dance.' [Peppy Barlow, playwright]
' Un duo à l'energie communicative' ........instrumentalement tres polyvalents, ils régalerent le public jusque tres tard dans la nuit de musique cajun, irlandaise, de blues et swing, en clôturant sur un hommage a Edith Piaf. De nombreux spectateurs s'étaient pressés sur le marché, alertés par leur présence.........' [Le Sud-Ouest, (french newspaper) August 2007]
'Firstly i just want to say we all had a great night last night and thought you were seriously good. It's so good to see live music in a pub without any click or backing tracks. Very rare these days.' [Jordan Marsh, musician]
''Buckshee' play for us on a regular basis. They are musically strong and visually exciting with a wide repertoire to complement any occasion. We cannot recommend this talented duo highly enough' [Richard and Sue, Landlord and landlady of The New Bell Inn, Harwich]
Thanks for much for the fantastic music at our party. You created a fantastic atmosphere and everyone was saying how brilliant you were! James and Zoe Firebrace

'Everybody's been saying how brilliant you were....' [Ali Garrett, bride]
'good
ambience, good music, good foot-tapping stuff, good group of followers.' [Barry,
Landlord]
'We loved it all!!! I just liked the earlier pieces even more. I loved the depth and range of those pieces, and it was hard to believe that that much sound, energy, and colour was coming from just two people. Visually you are wonderful together to watch, especially as in the hall last Saturday, the movements of your playing were projected behind you as shadows, and the profile of you and your sax looked amazing. There is something very refreshing about your performance, and its exciting. rupert herries - artist, singer songwriter
Hi,
I have never e-mailed a group after a party as Live music can be Hit and Miss
and not appeal to everybody. But i have to say that your performance on that
evening was FANTASTIC even the Oldies with Zimmer frames got up and Danced.
We have alot of functions throughout the year and we would not hesitate to book
you as our 1st choice in the future. Sorry if the photo is not very good but
there were too many people on the dance floor.
Many Thanks Chris Wright
