About Me

Click the image to go to iTunes....

Bursting with witty, inventive, beautifully crafted Bluenote songs in a Scouse accent that bring a smile to the face and a lift to the heart. It reminds a little of the great Alan Price and Georgie Fame, with its utterly groovy hepcat feel that somehow has you thinking of British crime caper Gangster no.1.If the sound production is a little raw in places, it somehow adds to the authentic feel, resulting in something both evocative and interesting. Crammed full of Cheapskate’s hugely likeable exuberant Nu-Scouse merriment, your toes will be tapping from the word go.Jade Wright, Liverpool Echo
