"This band has been running now for 27 years and during that time the best up and coming and senior musicians around have been through its ranks. I thought it time to pay tribute to all the guys who have been associated with the band and sadly two who have passed away during the 27 years of the bands existence together with tributes for two American musicians who have influenced me over the years, hence the title of this Album DEDICATION"
- Ian Pearce

"Full of good tunes and colourful scoring, as well as fine solos, this was a concert that everybody enjoyed"
Ted Gascoigne (review of concert to launch CD)
