REVIEWS:
Saw the band at Gunthorpe Festival. Absolutely best band of the day by the proverbial "country mile". Superb musicianship, brill vocals. Spoke to the singer afterwards and he told me you had no more gigs in Notts, looks like we'll have to travel! See you again soon.
Great gig at the Dusty Miller last night - nice to meet you lot and I'm looking forward to the gig at the Limelight
I was at the Welbeck gig last night.Brilliant band, shite venue! Stick to the places that appreciate what you do. Much better support at the Diamond last week. Welbeck should hang it's head in shame. See you at Gunthorpe festival.
Great show at Nuneaton last night. That's the third time I've caught the band and this was the best yet! Much better than the very disappointing "New Beautiful South" I saw a month or so ago.
I came to see your band on Sunday. Wow! Fantastic ! How's about more Hull gigs Steve? Not much going for entertainment in Hull these days. You were all great. What a band. Polar Bear was so packed out. See you all again some time.
Just a message to say what a great night we had at Warsop Ex Servicemens Club last night.
The band was fantastic and will see you again asap.
I was at the Featherstone Rovers RLFC gig last night and it was absolutely superb.
You guys rock!!
Had a great night and cant wait to see you on the 29th May at Featherstone WMC xxxkeep on the good work u r brill xx
I just wanted to say how much my wife, our friends and I enjoyed last night's Beautiful Sound gig at the Cafe Artisan in Rawtenstall, Lancs. It was our first time seeing the band (in fact, any Beautiful South tribute band) and we just loved hearing this great music played live once again.And just how good is the voice of the female lead vocalist (sorry, didn't catch her name)? WOW! She sounds uncannily similar to Brianna and is gorgeous too! She was worth the entrance fee alone!
Brilliant performance as ever. (I've only just sobered up actually!!)
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as we all did.
Was at the Featherstone Rovers show last night! Wow! I'm blown away by you guys (and gal)!
Still got the grin factor the next morning and I wouldn't even call myself a BS fan although I do like their stuff.Don't know how you rated that gig in your scheme of things, but I rated it as one of the best shows I've ever been to.Can't wait to see you all again somewhere cos you sure do rock!And you all seemed so nice too damnit
Carlsberg don't do tribute bands...but if they did it would be in the shape of you guys...!
Thank you so much for another great night last night in Ellesmere Port. xx
Seen you 3 times now at the Grouse at Chesterfield. Best tribute band I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Both the vocals and the music is a good as the real thing. Will see you in the Dusty Miller on the 6th of Dec. Keep it up guys, SUPERB!!!
The last Beautiful Sound gig was busy and the atmosphere was amazing. which is the reason I booked them for a second time.
Many thanks from all who were at York Acorns Rugby Club last Friday to witness surely what must be one of the UK's best tribute bands. The club has rarely been as full as early as it was and all were treated to one of the best evenings entertainment for many a year. Total profesionals and lovely people. Everybody has been pestering me as to when the band will be back. Hope to see you all soon.
Best band I’ve EVER seen and i've seen a few in my time. You made quite a few people very happy at the York Acorns. Brilliant.
What a FANTASTIC night at the Limelight Club Crewe on Sunday. You guys were brilliant once again and the venue, like the band , was superb.
140 mile from Birmingham to see you at the Ideal Standard and well worth it. Great night. See you in Bilston in March if not sooner.
Great gig at The Castlefields on Saturday night...There were so many people that there was hardly enough room to dance..100% audience participation..! fantastic to hear Build for the first time...and Woman In The Wall just gets better and better..! Well Done..! xx
Travelled to the gig at Featherstone (60 miles round trip) and got through the door just as the man put the "Sold Out" signs on the door! 30 seconds later the couple behind me would have got the last 2 tickets and i would have missed out on the best gig ive been to in years! Brilliant band, keep it up!
Saw you guys at the Roscoe last night. Cool as f+ck! Not a great turn out but you played like you were at wembley arena! I've seen the Southmartins play the Roscoe in their heyday and I've seen the beautiful couch and your the best yet. Instrumentally awesome and vocally perfect. The bloke on the door said you'd only been on the road for 2 years and I didn't know what to expect, but I needn't have worried. I was hooked from the first song to the last. My favourite TBS track is My Book and you did a superb job of it. Caravan of love was stunning, I saw the housemartins in 1988 in Leeds and they sang it too. Your rendition was as good, if not better. Can't wait to catch you again some time. F+¤kin awesome!!
Hey guys...What a night The Tackeroo was...Excellent venue and you guys were on top form...! Never seen so many people dancing and singing along...just shows how great you are...!
See you again soon.
Fantastic night at the Nag’s Head Nuneaton. The guy with his trousers down was with us. Does the same thing at all the ‘South gigs he goes to!!
A fab night at Hinckley with the Sound, very receptive bunch, chilled out talented band, which is in the spirit of the original TBS. Hoping to book them for the big 40 next year.
Last night at the Nag’s Head was excellent too. I said I wouldn’t be able to dance but as soon as the music started I couldn’t help myself. I have never seen a man crawl along the floor with his pants down before at a ‘South gig…..Sooooo funny.
Just like to say thanks to you guys for a FANTASTIC weekend. You were brilliant at the Charity gig on Saturday and I’m sure you now have the admiration of a lot more hardcore ‘South fans!! Thank you for helping to make the event such a success. And you absolutely rocked again at the Nag’s Head. Moshing of the highest order and brought back memories of many a ‘South gig. Well done guys!!
Saw you last night at the Old Silk Mill in Derby. Brilliant. Come back soon.
What can I say? I was speechless last night. You didn’t let me down, you blew me away.I’ve seen the ‘South many times and, as far as I was concerned, you WERE the ‘South. One tiny criticism though – where was Woman in the Wall? Having said that, if that’s the only thing I’ve got to gripe about, it’s a needle in a haystack. Look forward to seeing you again. You were fabulous.
We had a fantastic time on Saturday and were treated to another gig on Sunday afternoon at the Grouse on the way home. I don’t know of any other band that could sound so great at an outside gig. I just wish we had a bigger garden!! What a brilliant weekend. Thanks everyone.
Was at the gig on Saturday (The Musician, Leicester). Top show. I was the Russ Abbot look-alike at the front with the woman in the hat and the man in the tank top. Come back to Leicester again please. Will try and catch you in Hinckley in September.
