QUOTES
“The stage was also the setting for perhaps the most promising new band at the festival — Essay for the Ordinary… the six-piece from Sussex had the crowd dancing frenetically to their catchy brand of ska and pop-punk.â€
Adam Zacharias, Molesly News and mail
“ they manage to pull a decent crowd for an early slot on the Surrey Advertiser stage…a surprisingly accomplished set.. they are actually pretty good! The musicianship is solid and whilst they don't do anything out of the ordinary there's really nothing bad about them.
…they come over well and there are some fine moments, particularly from the bass player, an all important element if you're going to do ska well. The songs are upbeat and have an element of fun about them, culminating in an amusing cover of the 'Ghostbusters Theme'. The brass section get plenty of moments to shine and is supplemented by the singer adding trumpet on a couple of songs. They go down well and get a couple of people dancing and they even give out a prize for the best dancer, well OK it's a cereal bar that someone gave them earlier but it's the thought that counts!
It's a promising performance from a young band and it will be interesting to see how they develop. Give them a couple of years to hone their set and they could well turn into a band to watch out for. There are a couple of weaker songs but on the whole it's good stuff and there's plenty to build on.†[9/13]
