NEW RELEASES/REVIEWS-

The new online reviews site Fair Hearing headed by the well-informed Pete Sargeant, has been quick off the mark with reviews of the T-99 and Denny Ilett offerings.

T-99’s VAGABONDS -

"they avoid flashiness or grandiose delivery in favour of an easy going charm…..Quirky, playful, rootsy music with individual flair in spades."

Of DENNY ILETT’S CALLIN’ THE CHILDREN HOME they say: "This disc reeks of love – love for music, for New Orleans, for unselfish ensemble blowing and the uplifting power of electric goodtime groovin’….you can’t hear this without smiling or tapping your toes."
