"You guys (and gal) have flat got it. I've about
burned laser grooves in your CD since I arrived
home. Bill Monroe must be smiling as he gazes
toward London alongside Blind Willie Johnson,
Dewey Balfa, Keith Whitley, and Chubby Wise.
Oh - and I love the name!" [Jack Bernhardt - Country & Traditional Music Correspondent, Raleigh News & Observer, North Carolina]

"Simply the best cajun/bluegrass/gospel in the country!" What's Cookin' Festival - June 2007
The Rosinators on the Leftfield Stage Glastonbury Festival, UK June 2005
"When American roots music deejays rave about bluegrass passion, Cajun verve and country-gospel authenticity, you know that The Rosinators are the real deal. From deep in the heart of Balham Alligator territory, the London-based trio have added their own stamp to the American old time tradition so convincingly that most of their radio airplay comes from US stations. Formed in 2001, they blazed out of the traps with dynamic three-part vocal harmonies and fiery twin-fiddle attacks driven by crackin' guitar picking." Edinburgh Festival Fringe
"Paul, Fliss and Will are three excellent musicians who absolutely love to play - enthusiastic, joyful and really good people. When the Rosinators play everyone in the room has a smile on their face. Go to see them. Get the album. You won't regret it." Gail Comfort, CMR Nashville
"Rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the UK's finest bands...if you've not heard their music then you really are missing something great!!" Dee Hallett, British Bluegrass News
"On this their debut album, The Rosinators give it to you straight: excellent musicianship and harmonies to die for....It's honest and passionate. On the first listening I was under it's spell; on the second I was hooked! This is real acoustic roots at its best. Don't let this one pass you by!" Gerry Mansfield, Maverick Magazine
"Struggles & Lulls", the brand new album from Joan Coffey, is available now on ITunes
'a voice that can enchant. Coffey's vocal chords deliver liquid gold with a divine Irish lilt.' FATEA Records 'charming and honest'. Time Out 'Joan's music exudes a warmth, humility and truth that is rare to find in singer-songwriters these days'. Thea Gilmore
Hey! Hope you are doing good. I wanted to let you know about a show i'm doing in London on Sunday, June 1st.
I'm touring with Tommy Allsup. He played guitar with Buddy Holly, and is the guy playing on songs like "Heartbeat", "It's So Easy", etc, etc.....he is 76 and still going strong.
He is a character.
Anyway, i would love to see you at the show. I think as a fellow musician that you will really appreciate seeing Tommy play, and listening to his stories! He is THE guy that flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens.
If you want to see Tommy in action....check out my blog. There is a video from last week in Nashville from the studio.
Take care, the music is sounding great, and i hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Kevin Montgomery

The New York Times recently didn't say about Chap-TV. com, and I quote: "The most entertaining website any band has ever put out! It's a better waste of time then youtube and myspace combined."
Revelator Presents: DELANEY DAVIDSON (Ex-Dead Brothers) Revelator DJ Set 8-11 Saturday 3rd May @ Filthy MacNasties 68 Amwell Street, Islington, ED1R 1UU FREE
Revelator presents an extremely rare visit to London by ex Dead Brother, Delaney Davidson. A couple of years ago the The Dead Brothers visited this pretentious little island to stamp in our memory that they were the best damn funeral party band in the world. They churned up Blues with Folk, Gypsy, Rock-a-billy and murder. Of course, as soon as they went we told each other that it was in fact our idea and up sprung any number of weak imitations - often taking the guise of yet another wild gypsy band. The Dead Brothers have split, but before any pitiful opportunist can jump in their grave, Delaney Davidson & His Ghost Orchestra returns to be more intense and moody on his own than any classically trained lesbian punk orchestra. Support comes from a Revelator dirty blues DJ set. This is a free gig, but it is advised to wash your hands properly and drink plenty of cranberry juice when it's finished.
I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for taking the time to accept us as your friend, and listening to our music. We appreciate the gesture and are grateful that you enjoyed our tunes enough to add us to your community of friends. After all, having people connect with our music is why we do this. I hope you'll come by often to say hello and let us know what's happening with you, and when you have a spare moment, please visit our brand new webpage at www. crosstimbersbluegrass. com there you can listen to more of our music and find out more about us. Feel free to sign the guestbook! (And if you have any ideas about how we could improve the webpage, be sure to let us know)
All my best and thank you again, Matt (the bass player) Cross Timbers
