A 5 star review in the London Evening Standard. Thanks to everyone who came to Madame Jo Jo’s last night. It was a fucking great show!
“… a major new talent has arrived.”
Being called “..music’s answer to David Bowie (Official), Bo Diddley and Mark Ronson” by British Vogue on their twitter makes for an surreal and amazing day. Here’s a link to the article.

The company obviously sees big potential in the young Kiwi’s retro style and swingin’ sound.
