CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE REVIEW BY HENRY YATES JULY 2009

Robin Hoare’s press release makes the rather odd claim that his “A Time and Place” album is favoured by hi-fi salesmen to demonstrate their wares. Maybe so, but on a decrepit Sony ghetto blaster it’s the punch of his songwriting that shines through. With funk and soul flavours creeping into his material, Hoare is not a traditional bluesman, but then the best ones never are.

Thanks very much Mr Yates! :)

On Monday August 31st, the Robin Hoare Band and guests will be headlining the Cream Instrument Cable Stage of the Great British R&B Festival at the Colne Lesser Muni. The event is presented by 2B Productions in association with Pendle Leisure Trust, The Chord Company and The Den. We will be using cutting edge sound technolgies to present what promises to be the best sounding event of the festival. The music will be dynamic, varied and always engaging....this is not to be missed. For further information go to;

We've finally taken delivery of the first batch of CDs. The album sounds great and will be distributed by Neil Ramsden of The Den Hi-Fi, Keighley (www.thedenkeighley.co.uk). The guitars, keyboards, and mastering were completed using Cream Cables.
