12.3.10 The Boys From Melbourne Street, a three man band from Exeter were the main act of the evening at Roadwater Performance Club.The skillful blend of Keith Hunter on Bass, Dave Eustace on Percussion and Ukelele and Colin Wilson on Acoustic Guitar created a superb sound. The songs taken from their 3 CD's written and sung by Colin,with Dave on backing vocals,were an eclectic mix of jazz,rock, folk and blues.They were engaging right from the start and had us enthralled for the next 90 minutes, finishing with "Wealthy Man" as an encore, what a fantastic event WEST SOMERSET PRESS ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
“The Boys from Melbourne Street” It was impossible to categorise their music other than to say it was a mixture of Acoustic Folk, Rock, Jazz and originality. Their lead singer, who was not only a very accomplished guitarist, but had a voice not unlike Peter Gabriel. If you get a chance to see them do, you won’t be disappointed" ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Carpe Diem contains all the elements that made their first release so popular; strong melodies, finely blended harmonies and skilful musicianship, all topped with bright and open production ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... As Spring now unfolds and our thoughts turn once again to barbeques, bare legs and beer gardens, we should consider the music to accompany sunshine filled days and long summer nights. You can’t do better than this. 4 Radio .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"The Boys were recent studio guests on my Big Country show and featured a cracking live set which prompted many favourable emails, they are a great band that deserve to do well" Music Scene The Culm Valley Gazette ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ "The band is gradually building up a fan base of people who want to hear their original music played in an easy and relaxed style that crosses all devides and being able to relate and connect with the lyrics as well as the music. I have featured songs from both albums on my programmes and can recommend them.
