Jim Kennedy, Encore Magazine.
“We thoroughly enjoyed it, what a great night”
Chris Tarrant
With a music library of over 9000 titles, the band covers the music of all the greats from then until now, including, but not exclusively, Miller, Basie, Kenton, Heath, Dorsey, Sinatra, Herman and many, many more! From ‘In The Mood’ to ‘The Pink Panther’, ‘Minnie The Moocher' to 'Hawaii Five O', even Robbie Williams gets a look in with hit arrangements from the album ‘Swing When You’re Winning’
Not just a concert, Debbie's Hobsons Choice Dancers and Re-Enactors make this a concert and a show that all ages will enjoy!

And that It's dying out
But I can prove it's in the groove
They don't know what they're talking about"

THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix) now available for free download at WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!
“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)
"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)
“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)
"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
