Whatfest

"Madcap and colourful The Mekkits are a breath of fresh, carefree air in a world that takes itself far too seriously..." - MANCHESTER MUSIC

"It sounds like the music that the Southwest beach kids could impregnate each other to..." - PAUL RAFFERTY, HOT CLUB DE PARIS

"The Mekkits are relentless sun-shiny fun and could really be one of those 'next-big-things'..." - MUSIC OMH

"That set was as short as Danni de Vito, yet it was as sweet as Yogi Bear's small, humble sidekick..." - EUGENE MCGUINNESS

"Primary coloured skiffle pop..." - THE METRO

"'Holiday Song' is unrecognisable as a debut single, some bands with years and years of albums behind them have yet to produce a single of this quality..." - HIGH VOLTAGE

"Pure eccentric genius..." - MY VILLAGE

Hey. Thanks for tuning in. As a rule, live radio either turns me into a foul-mouthed bore or a mute. So I was reasonably pleased.
