As always Groove 66 put on a show to remember and were one of the highlights of our Graduation Ball. Fantastic group who really know how to get everyone going. The feedback from all of the students and their families was excellent, and I couldn't recommend Groove 66 highly enough

Groove66 played at my birthday party.

We had about 140 guests and without exception everyone said what a great night they'd had and how brilliant the band was. The music was excellent and the band made the atmosphere and the night. I ended up dancing all night so much so that I was too busy to have a drink so although I had no hangover the next day- I could hardly walk as my knees were killing me!!!

To all in Groove 66

A fantastic wedding day and a fantastic honeymoon have now been and gone but we are left with special memories of both.

Can we personally thank-you all for a brilliant night of entertainment. Its difficult being the Bride and Groom to appreciate everything that's happening on the night, its only talking with friends and watching video footage since the wedding that you begin to appreciate how well things went. So for belting out some great tunes, for keeping the dance floor packed all night and for making the night a night to remember, we thank-you all.

I don't dance. It's one of the few constants about me: I don't, under any circumstances, dance.

I went to see a band called 'Groove 66' at 'The Nailers' the other night.

Basing their sets on old soul numbers (can you think of a better place to base them...I can't); tight and just the nice side of loud, it was a night to remember. Two strong vocalists (Bezz has always had that effortless rapport with an audience...it's called 'the common touch', I believe...or it might be that he's just plain common, I don't really know); driving rhythm section with a nice grunting bass (somewhat after my own style) and finally the brass...oh, the brass...because where would soul music be without it?

This outfit knew what they were doing...they even had an instrumental (Soul Finger) in reserve for when Bezz did his normal trick of 'not being available' at the beginning of the first set!

They turned 'The Nailers' (normally a bit of a barn) into something that reminded me of my youth. Indeed, I really felt my age when I realised I knew most of the lyrics, word for word, from the first time around.

And did I enjoy myself?

Let's put it this way: I ALMOST found myself dancing.
