“The final night seeing Red Guitars in Brighton was fantastic. 5 gigs, 950 miles, it has been an absolute joy to see them live again and the highlight of my gig career. I loved every moment and had the biggest thrill watching them play each time. Thanks for the most amazing tour!” Skylla

“Red Guitars played a scorching final gig of the tour tonight in Brighton, blowing away even the high winds and heavy rain lashing down outside! I sang along as if I could actually sing (not just shout). I bounced along (as if my knees were young again). Fingers crossed we get to do this all again and soon, please, folks!” Tim Bourne

“Very much enjoyed both new and old songs which are seamless in style. So good to hear the songs again delivered with all of the original musicality and life verve.” Pattimomomo

“At first I thought, this sound live, compared to a recording has to be top 4 four, in the company of bands like U2, Kula Shaker and Del Amitri, all capable of producing a sound as good or better than on records. Then I thought, all the others I saw in their prime, and at the top of their game. Not forty years later! Staggered at how fantastic it sounded.” Scott Lilley

“The last of the Red Guitars 12-date UK tour at Brighton Chalk tonight. Though age contemporaries of mine, I’d never heard their music until the 100 Club gig three days ago, a real miss on my part, so quite pleased they appeared to signal more live dates to come.” Stephen Smith
