"Thanks so much for yesterday…the client was delighted with your performance and it was such a pleasure to work with such a professional band. Not only do you sound amazing and your performance was outstanding but you are all such lovely people to boot! I would like to say a special thanks to the sound engineer for being so accommodating with all our sound needs and requests. It really does make a difference having a dedicated technician on the event to ensure it runs smoothly. We hope to get loads of future bookings for you"

"‘He was truly amazing. Jamie's vocals were sublime and quite frankly I couldn’t take my eyes off him all night. He played songs that appealed to all ages & really got the party started. He was so professional from start to finish & all my guests were very impressed.’ Lesley Coyle, (Formby Hall Golf Club, Nr Liverpool "

"It’s March and still raining. I’ve trawled through some serious procrastination to decide where I’m going tonight; at least three decent live music offerings in Chester that I know of. And I’m sure the others were brilliant. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are, in their own words, a “tribute to the British Britpop music scene” and a “powerful combination of passion and quality.” A tribute band, to me, equals lunatic professionalism. To tribute a whole scene is a big ask. Good covers bands are rare enough, taking that enormous and unlikely step beyond random amateur recreation. But these guys really do tick the box of perfectionists, professional curators though. Friday night was time travel night with a set list that captured the point where British alt-rock got (largely) happy and popular (in a good way). A guitar-dominated, looping and lurching opener with Ocean Colour Scene and The Riverboat Song; polished and convincing. The second song in and I’m braving the dance floor with the pointy-shooed brigade. A few songs further and they offer me proof of their professionalism. A very-very-very long time ago I was lucky enough to make it into Brixton Academy and unfortunate enough to catch James on a sincerely off night. And I’ve heard James and Sit Down many times since: at home, on the radio, in DJ sets and covered more than it should be. It's one of those beautiful songs that gets tired through overuse. And on this particular Friday night I heard it come alive; all vitality restored. There were the things I expected; a good dose of Blur and Oasis both, Stereophonics, Bluetones and more, then some referencing back to foundation stones with The Who and The Jam. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience switched between styles and musical voices with conviction; into acoustic things and seamlessly back out again. The magic of seeing grown men dance without a pint in hand happened repeatedly through the two sets. On any given set you pray for that one song you don’t see coming; the track you might flick through on the album that becomes something else entirely live. So it was with Blur’s Charmless Man. That perfect Blur poetry, is simple, direct and delivered with energy. The Original 90’s Britpop Experience are a good distance from being charmless. They are careful collectors and curators of songs; fine musicians and performers!"

"South West played at our wedding in October and were brilliant. Henry was amazing to deal with from the beginning and they really made our day. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending and am true to my word as my brother would like them to play at his wedding! Thank you so very much. I just wish I’d had a little less to drink :) The videos of me on stage are cringe! Hopefully see you all very soon. Wish we could do it all over again. Steve and Laura x."

"Hi Matt… I wanted to thank you and the Band for great music at our anniversary party. You played the perfect mix of songs to get everyone dancing……. Everyone said how great you were, I just wish the party could have gone on for longer. People also commented on the great guitar playing – but you were all fantastic. Please pass our thanks on to the band, you played an important part in a truly memorable evening. Best wishes, Alison and David. "

"My experience with RockEnergy was fantastic. Excellent communication ahead of the event. The guys were super friendly on arrival and the show they put on was fantastic. The music was excellent and they drew in a real crowd for our Brewery event. Especially when they played some Oasis! Would 100% hire these guys to perform at any future event we host. Thanks again RockEnergy, you guys rock!"
