Collaborating with artists such as YT, Luciano, Murray Man, Mr Williamz, Tippa Irie, Susan Cadogan, Exile Di Brave, Peppery, Claire Angel to name a few, they have enjoyed radio and soundsystem plays around the world including David Rodigan (BBC 1Xtra) who has featured successive releases on his show, and many more around the world.
“The band was incredible…[they] made it all sound effortless..isn’t that the secret of great music?! Sounded like it was just falling off the stage.. beautiful tight riddims, the crowd was totally in- vested in the notes [they] were playing” – Brian Travers, UB40
“It’s almost like the real thing when you go to Jamaica and play with Sly and Robbie: for the UK…. it’s excellent!” – Dawn Penn
