Quotes

"Fred's House, quickly becoming one of the 'must see' bands of the region played a sterling set of their original material. Acoustic but with plently of punch, the charming quartet is consistanly excellent with sweet vocals complimenting top-drawer musicianship and intelligent song writing"

Review of Strawberry Fair

"What a delight - wonderful voices, wonderful harmonies and great songs as well!"

Sue Marchant BBC Radio Eastern Counties

"Saturday’s main stage entertainment kicked off for me with Fred’s House, an endearing foursome who had the appearance of Scooby-Doo’s mystery crew and the sound of The Magic Numbers. With an easy-on-the ear mix of adapted covers and original material they harmonised well to create a fresh folk-pop feel so popular that they were almost mobbed when invited to play again a few hours later in the acoustic tent."

David Carlisle, Buxton Advertiser
