"Unforgettably Brilliant. From start to finish was superb, much better
than I anticipated and thoroughly recommended to music lovers"
Matthew Tremain - Managing Director KD Media
I've grown up listening to Fleetwood Mac songs, from as far back as I
can recall. And with my memory for sound, I can usually spot an
'almost-but-not-quite' rendition of a favourite song. So I was not
without some interest and trepidation about this show...
I was stunned by the soundscape in the theatre, it was perfect. No
dead-spots, an even coverage. brilliant job, because it brought out
the very best of every song. Whenever I took a moment to glance
around, I could see a totally entranced audience, drawn into the
music...
The Finale was also a favourite of mine, Gold-dust Woman. I was
impressed by Hole's cover on The Crow soundtrack, but this was as good
as the original in every way, making it better by far. For the Encore,
Go Your own Way was their choice, and it had the audience up and
dancing... It ended the show with a standing ovation, giving all due
credit in the process.
Overall, The Sound Workshop are more than just a tribute band or
imitators, they are strong performers in their own right and have an
amazingly eclectic repertoire. I was very impressed, and would love to
see some of their other tribute shows.
