Fantastic. 8 to 10 song Beatles tribute at the end, almost as good as the Beatlemaniacs if they practice for another couple of years. Did I say we were impressed?
Yes I liked this group last night also. Good musicians and entertainers. Unfortunately they did not get off to a good start. The sound mix for the first set was awful. The vocals were too low. It looked like a new sound guy on the booth last night. Then they didn't do their homework Vs the crowd they were playing to. Almost exclusively 80's music. I enjoyed the change but the average age here in The Villages is mid 60's. 80's and 90's music hits the early 50 year old crowd. A little better mix of walking through 60's 70's and 80's I think would play better here. I would like to hear from others that seen them last night.
