BLUES IN BRITAIN REVIEW

"...This is a band with the individual skills and collective creativity to take the music to a new higher level. There isn’t a better backline in Britain and you’ll not hear better guitar interplay than that achieved by Martin and Vince, a great platform for the latter to show his world-class palying and singing. I think of The Wildcards as a fusion of the best of American and British styles: a robust blend of West-Coast rhythms, Mississippi deep blues, cool jazz and that heady Gene Vincent rockabilly thing. It’s not only artistically satisfying, it’s pretty darned exciting to listen to!"
