"Joey the Lips are a big bright bouncy brassy boppy band making a
joyous sound in the true spirit of the soul band revue... great
entertainment"
SNAKE DAVIS
M PEOPLE
"Sometimes, just sometimes, when great or even good singers sing soul music an odd thing happens.
A thing that you experience oh so rarely. The feeling goes beyond passion, beyond excitement. Mystery
takes over. You are reminded that this music was born out of gospel, that before soul took on its themes
of money, success, black freedom, political struggle and love it was concerned with the search for the divine.
That's what happened to me, watching you sing last night. A condition of mystery approached a condition of
prayer. You've probably sung that song 500 times but you sang it like it was the first time. Your hands clutched
at the air as you hit the highest notes and you shook your head and beamed with pure helpless joy as you seemed to
wrench the words out of yourself. The band swelled and soared behind you, the drums and horns came in and the whole
place went wild. By the chorus the whole place was singing with you.
It was an amazing performance. Magic, pure and simple, just absolutely magic.
Be proud of yourself, and thank you."
LETTER TO KAT FROM MEMBER OF AUDIENCE
(KAT'S RENDITION OF 'PROUD MARY')
"Encores were jaw dropping with totally unexpected showmanship and flair you rarely
see these days. Its hard to believe that Joey the Lips have been going eleven years
because they’re as fresh today as they were when I first heard them all those years
ago. Go see them, you won’t be disappointed"
SOUTH WEST GIG GUIDE
"I got near the front just in time to see the kind of explosive team effort that left me
exhilarated. They must have been choreographed by the best that Andrew Lloyd
Webber knew because they were one cohesive unit in perfect harmony. The atmosphere
really was electric and the anticipation all but touchable. Treat yourself , go and see them soon"
TORBAY REVIEW
"Well wot can I say but "WOW!!!" I am so glad I have been introduced to this kind of music by
such an amazing
band. I never even considered listening to this kind of music before, and never in my wildest dreams
thought it
would make me feel the way I feel, when your all on stage giving it all you have!! The atmosphere you create
is just AMAZING!!! "
