About Me

ON THE ROAD 2007
‘…wailing guitar solos and a stage presence that Robert Plant would be proud of.’ [Doncasterfreepress.co.uk]
'The band Whitefire is everything that Rock N Roll should be' [www.rocknrolluniverse.com]
'what these guys need is a stadium!' [BBC Leeds]
'Armed with impressive stacks and even more impressive hair they very much looked the part of a 70's hard rocking outfit; and that is exactly what they delivered. Great rocking song after great rocking song they wowed with succulent guitar solos and delectable vocals. Full on energy and stage presence makes this band incredibly watcheable and their sound is so tight...' [The Talk Magazine]
‘…one of the most exciting new bands to play the local scene in recent times…’ [leedsmusicpromotions.com]
'this band will remind you of all that makes for musical greatness' [www.rocknrolluniverse.com]
‘...every now and again you stumble across a band that blind you with their brilliance, Whitefire are that band... ’ [mayfairmallzine.com]
'Jon Sibley has the stance (not to mention the hair) of Robert Plant' [BBC Leeds]
'This band really are the complete package and would surprise us all if they weren't to go onwards and upwards in a very big way' [getreadytorock.com]
‘The next band Whitefire are a band who I have been greatly impressed with ever since seeing them perform for the first time. I personally think that they are one of the hottest young prospects I’ve seen for a long time....’ Linda & Barry [www.themayfairmallzine.com]
'hugely impressive guitar riffs and heavy drums reminiscent of Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and so on' [BBC Leeds]
'The whole band are a rock jigsaw puzzle...they belong together and you don't want to lose a single piece!' [getreadytorock.com]
'Whitefire is a band that will be going places in the near future' [hardrockhideout.com]
