What a really truly amazing gig you guys put on for us all at the hard Rock last night, A great live band with amazing musicians and singers all doing great versions of each and every song that was played and all played with great energy and great vocals from all 4 singers, especially a certain one.....ye know who ye are 😉😉 I a huge passionate music fan and a fan of all types of music and i absolutely loved the gig at the Hard Rock, yous most certainly did get everyone all fired up and i, along with many, were unable to not get into and before long everyone was up singing and dancing and having a great time, myself included, It was an absolute pleasure to witness such a great live band doing so many classics, absolute justice, Will most certainly be back for round 2, next gig i can make ♥️♥️
