Lots of changes of style and tempo, fantastic band, fantastic player and singing.
As enjoyable as any band I\'ve ever seen and far fun than seeing Santana at the O2 recently.
You have plenty of good bands at the BB but Albert tops them all (in my opinion).

Thank you - and thanks to all for yet another fantastic night! Albert's gigs are always great, and that was no exception. Hope you enjoyed it too!

10 out of 10 for the Billy Walton band at the Beaverwood, even if Billy’s amp was turned up to 12!!!
Manti were also very good Classic Rock band and worth considering for a longer slot next time you're looking to fill a gap in your gig list.

Many thanks for once again bringing Pat Travers and his superb band to North London! Best show I've seen from PT (and I see him every year at your venues)!! Awesome sound as well.

Pat Travers was brilliant on Sunday at the Real Music Club. . I saw him at the Underworld a few years ago and this gig was better. I first saw Pat at the old Roundhouse back in 1977 with Stray supporting.

That was truly fab. Well done for getting Pat Travers to play The Real Music Club. But it surprised me actually that a guy as good as him and with a long heritage and a red hot band backing him up played an intimate gig in Whetstone as a final date in London of a long tour. I thought he would have played somewhere more central but hey, I have no complaints \'cos it was a blinding pants-on-fire gig. Flamboyant bass, big-hit drums and guitar work to boggle your mind.
Sensational gig!

Devon Allman...considering the fact they were at the end of a longish tour and very tired I thought it was an excellent gig....very pro.Reminded me of the early days at Jack Beards when a little known Bonamassa played to us with about the same ammount of people present.
For me when the venues are that small and intimate then the artist performs better because they have to.
Well done again Pete for bringing these acts here.

Welcome everyone to the Boom Boom Club this Friday 3rd October and I am aiming this at anybody that has not seen "THE MODS" before. We cover songs from that Golden Era from 1964 - 1970. The variety of bands we cover is unmatched by any other tribute act. The musicians in the band have played in Queen, Gillan, Marillion, Spear of Destiny, Joan Armourtrading Band, Paul Young Band, Mike Oldfield Band, Bonzo Dog Doo dah Band,Tina Turners Band, Mr Big, Voyager and many more. The Bands we cover are The Who (Nobody plays it better) The Kinks The Pretty Things The Yardbirds The Small Faces Spencer Davis The Doors Hendrix SAHB even Led Zeppelin The Easybeats Desmond Dekker and many more. Now we just play these songs with World Class musicianship, attitude and 500% passion. If you love Walter Trout then come along and watch Steve Byrd, If you love John Entwhistle come along and watch Steve Barnacle, If you love Keith Emerson come along and watch Mickey Simmonds, and if you love John Bonham come along and watch Johnny Marter, which leaves me...Johnny Warman and there ain't nobody to compare me with !!! What I guarantee you is the most committed and totally passionate bunch of players with your maximum entertainment in mind. I know this will be the gig of the year and we hope to see and welcome a whole new bunch of followers to come and join The Mods Army this Friday !!!

Just to follow on from John Peck's message (we talked in the bar before the gig, by the way). It is a dream come true to have the oportunity to see Mick Taylor & Band play in North London. Chatted to him afterwards and got a signed CD! This is the gig that I have waited three years for!! A fantastic night and a complete sell out for The Real Music Club.
Best regards,

The Mods are back !!! Last date before Christmas
Mods vs Rockers ...An Encore ....A slight return as Jimi Hendrix said !!! Due to unseen circumstances we have been asked to fill a date for Pete Feenstra the Ultimate Promoter at the fantastic Boom Boom Club on October 3rd 2008
If you were there recently don't worry there will be even more new material and we will start at 9pm to give you guys a full 2 hours music. Please spread the word as it would be great to actually sell the gig out for Pete !! Also
an even more special gig a week later....
Definitely the last date before Christmas !!!
"GARY GRAINGER and THE MODS" a "Who Experience" at
The Real Music Club Whetstone October 10th. 2008 Gary Grainger is probably one of the greatest English guitarists and as Zak Starkey said to me once also "One of the best in the World !!"
Gary spent many years with Rod Stewart in his band and also co writing such huge hits "Hot Legs" "Im only Joking" and "Passion" and many more. So at this gig you will hear The Who like nobody else plays it especially as Gary just depped for Pete Townsend in Canada !!! plus Kinks, Cream, Joe Walsh, The Faces and other Rolling Stones classics. We will be playing "Stay with me" especially for the best rock audience in town.
Kindest Regards, and hope to see loads of you there please, as these line ups do not happen that often !!!

Just to let you know that in spite of the torrential down pour and hurricane weather conditions we did manage to get to the Bull and Butcher on time. We were so glad we didn’t decide to cancel and miss it, as we had a truly spectacular time. The Beached Boys were amazing, the harmonies superb. Everyone danced the night away and had a great night. Well worth the money.

How are you mate? Didnt see you on Saturday night at the club but it was totally fantastic!! Mick was in top form! It was smooth, easy, laid back and the cant you hear me knocking solo was awe inspiring. Its taken me 20 years to experience Taylor doing that song!! Thank you so much mate!

As a fan of Mick T for 40 years id just like to say the Boom Boom show was one of his best.
Just a quick email to say a big thanks for the Mick T aylorgig on Saturday. We came
over from Worcestershire specially and were not disappointed!
It was probably the happiest we have ever seen MT, and his performance was
stupendous.
I have written a quick review for the Mick Taylor website which I thought
you might like to see.

What a fantastic gig last night at the Boom Boom in sutton last night. I was also well impressed with Andy Sharrocks Smokin Jackets - a great blues band and first class act !
Mick Taylor and his band were amazing , a superb set ,i must take a look at his history with the stones .
yourve got some good bands coming up at Sutton , im hoping to make it ,to see the rollin stoned on friday ,will be in touch
all the best steve

I have just dropped a line to Johnny Warman to tell him how much I enjoyed last Friday's Mods vs Rockers gig - it was STUPENDOUS!! They were on top form, and I loved the new songs - particularly the Alex Harvey stuff and Deep Purple’s "Hush" - absolutely superb!
I cannot WAIT to see them again - I might have to hire them to do a private
gig for me, or something!! Thanks, as always, for making it happen - I don't know what I'd do without
you lot to keep me sane!

I really enjoyed the Mods v Rockers gig last week but just wanted to say that I found it a bit loud....ears were ringing well into next day. Realise that this is not very \"rock and roll\" and I\'m sounding a bit old but never had this at Boom Boom before so thought I\'d let you know. Keep up the great gigs in Sutton but perhaps the PA guy shouldn\'t crank it up to \"11\" in future.

The Mods (vs Rockers) are simply fantastic, and Johnny Warman’s enthusiasm is infectious, he was born to sing.
And to cap it all I've dug out my Marriot Memorial DVD to see some more!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

For those of you that could not make this gig..........you should watch out for the next time Popa hits the UK.

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)!

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

The Music Palace is a very good venue and the crowd all joined in and made a

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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!!

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

Just wanted to say again thanks for putting Michael Schenker at the Boom Boom. Great night and well done to the sound guys as well. All this and a sell out crowd too. Winners all ways round.
Thanks

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

Just to let you know that I thought Michael Schenker was excellent, there's always a risk with him but i thought his playing was spot on.
Cheers again for a top night mate.

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

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!!!!
