Kerensa and Dean's wedding - The Longcross Hotel,
Port Isaac, December 2007.
Thank you Solution for making
our wedding celebrations Rock! You were brilliant and that comes not only
from us, but also our guests, we have had so many comments on how great you
were. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had such a great
time.
Not only is your music fantastic but your great guys to do business with,
you made everything run so smoothly, including the playing of our own music
in between sets. Thank you, thank you, thank you ... we cannot praise you
enough.
Wedding Reception - Jon & Helen - Green Bank Hotel,
Falmouth. July 2007
Solution played at
our wedding and we and all of our guests thought they were great - they
picked just the right music to get almost every single person up on the
dance floor, even those who swore before that they wouldn't be tempted on
there, and lots who were on there for most of the night, and generally
helped us have a really brilliant evening. Lots of our guests commented on
how well they performed and what a great atmosphere they created. Their
cover version of Dream a Little Dream which they learnt especially for our
first dance was fantastic. We would recommend them to anyone looking for
live music for a function in Cornwall!
All the best, and thanks once again - we had an absolutely brilliant wedding
and you helped to make the evening really great. The best man was supposed
to buy you all a pint - if he didn't, we're sorry!

Weekend
of 10th / 11th March 2006 - A WEEKEND
OF CONTRASTS!
Friday saw us back at The
Coppice in Lanner (third visit I think). Sadly most of Lanner decided
it was too cold and stayed in to watch East Enders rather than go to the
pub. The few that turned up were very appreciative though. Thanks.
Saturday was
"another day another planet" (Who wrote that then?)*
Our first gig at The
Watering Hole at Perranporth. Fantastic night with a packed and
friendly club. Our usual first set oozing class and all round cleverness.
(and that was just the drummer!) Second set and it was dancing time. It
seemed everyone there was on the floor. Great reception with the highlight
being the entire dance floor singing all the words to a medley of Police
tracks all of which were written before they were born. How does that
work??? I blame the parents.
And then as it seemed
the frenzy was unstoppable—disaster!!! As the final chords of the Medley
ended, Phil our bass player, amid the smell of burning talent, announced
"I’ve got no bass". "Shouldn’t think anyone will
notice" replied a voice from somewhere near the small and
unspectacular keyboard player. (Well he is called Ant!)
Repairs made and it’s
a final blast with sadly only time for one encore-Summer of 69, and it’s
all over. Audience go home safe and happy and one hour later band trudge
across the sand dunes in the rain with the gear on our backs. Well in a
flat bed track anyway. Forget your Hammersmith Odeon - this is real rock
and roll and we all can’t wait to do it all again.
Thanks to all the staff
at The Watering Hole for making us feel so welcome and especially to Dave
for helping lug the gear.
Rich.
*actually,
Rich, it was The Only Ones and its Another Girl Another Planet –
released in 1977 I think and subsequently covered by The Replacements,
Blink 182 and Babyshambles - oh the joys of being the youngster in the
band! – Phil
From the Amplifeye website:
Seen these guys a couple
of times now. Absolutely superb. Worth seeing just to hear
"Money" by Pink Floyd. The way it should be played.

Steve Todd - Lloyds Bank Charity Event,
Burrell Theatre, Truro School, 21st October 2005
Guys, Thank you all
again for the great night of music at the Burrell Theatre, Truro School.
The music was special and a great time was had by all - I am sure you will
have added many more followers of the band following the gig.
'Money' by Pink Floyd is
a particular favourite of mine and you played it brilliantly. The eclectic
mix of numbers on the night gave something for everyone and It was great
of you to do the encores and finish with 'Mustang Sally' - we were sorry
our licence meant you had to finish at 10.30pm. Look forward to seeing you
all again soon.
Steve
P.S. We raised loads of
money for our charity Marie Curie Cancer Care on the night - Thanks again

St Austell "Tour" 27/30th
July
Couple of gigs down St
Austell Way last week.
Wed saw the band at a
new venue-The Carlyon Arms in Sandy Hill. First time for us and a superb
venue. Bit of a slow start as we got used to the sound and the audience to
us. Solid first set with "Running down a Dream" giving everyone
a storming finish and promise of more to come. Second set great with some
awesome dancing up the front from some lovely ladies. (You know who you
are!). A great night ended with a couple of encores and more dancing.
Thanks and we look forward to coming back soon.

Saturday was a welcome
return to the Rashleigh Arms in Charlestown. Always a good night for us
(our fourth visit I think) . John particularly played wonderfully and good
to see several regulars in the crowd enjoying the band. Saturday was a
special night for Ant with Bob Williams of "Analogue Systems"
setting up the latest version of the famous "Moog" synthesiser
for Ant to use. Sounded great - it was 1972 all over again and great to
hear those sounds again. Thanks Bob.
Another two encores - Bohemian
and Scissor Sisters and we’re off home. See you again soon (1st Oct)
Rich.
