Alison's Reviews

5 out of 5

This 3 piece are exactly what their name implies; Strong Medicine for the spirit and the soul. Their style is swing and jazz with a modern twist and they have had my feet tapping of each of the number of occasions we have seen them. They are 3 high spirited and entertaining musicians that produce a tight yet flowing sound. Their quirky style is infectious, with tall Thomas regularly ascending his bass and wowing the audience by playing perfectly from up top; Alison's vocals are distinctive and individual, and she puts her stamp on every song. She is infectious and gets you up on the up tempo numbers but is just as comfortable on smooth ones. Dennis confidently adds his honed skills to well rehearsed interpretations on guitar. They are a fun and catchy group who cover the likes of Caro Emerald and do an absolutely amazing performance of the Peaky Blinders theme involving a crow bar used as a bell.

A vintage vibe and a strong sense of the theatrical
