“Andrea Marr’s new album "Little sister got Soul" is a bloody RIPPER! If she was my little sister, I’d bully her to let me play drums in her band, ‘cause she's got the kind of soul I love.... but, she's got Dean Matters on the skins and he's got exactly the right soul for Andrea. A great band, playing great songs and Andrea singing up a storm. Her best yet.”
Gary Young, legendary rock drummer & RRR fm presenter
"It is a world class effort that rips you out of your seat and doesn't let you go, and when it does you want to do it all over again!"
