What a fantastic evening. The Bex band were great and where else but here in the TRNC could you see such talent for free. My only complaint was the background noise from people who obviously didn't appreciate the music as much as I did. Roll on next year when she comes back.

stilluvithere, I totally agree..... some people needs lessons in how to be an audience, but there was a great atmosphere in the venue. A fantastic night from a great talent. We were very fortunate to be able to see Bex in a small, intimate setting. How generous of the band to perform to raise funds for Ismail and look forward to hearing her next time she performs in the TRNC.

Absolutely brilliant singer a little lady with a big voice. Unfortunately we had to leave early as hubby was playing golf this morning, but bought her CD so can listen to her this morning in the car.

Nice to see as many 44's there as well.

Chris she is a brilliant entertainer, and her hubby is also a top man, I really do hope she can arrange her tour diary so that she can appear at the ampitheatre gig next year it would be wonderful, not only for the audience, but for the other bands and entertainers as well.



A big well done to Bex and her husband and also to the local musicians who helped make up the band not forgetting Tony 'E'

I was blown away, She was awseome, I have never known comments or feedback like it.



I did not really expect anything like this, and Barry her husband what a guy, and could he make that Harmonica talk.



I could have listened to them all night. Very polite and lovley people to work with. Thank you to, Bex, Barry, Danno the syrup, (but it wasn,t really a wig) Tony, and Hoots trio, the Mike, Sonia and Mike the Banjo. and also the other bass player who also did a few numbers'



It was free entry, and the raffle tickets where only 5 TL. We raised 737 tl for Ismail and Chesire Homes.



A fantastic night, and I think very good value for money from the audience angle.



And if anyone knows Mad Ray, tell him to look after the dog.

Yes, a fantastic evening! I was privileged and humbled to have had the opportunity to play Duelling banjos with Bex, a true professional and awesome performer.

I also feel very privieged to have worked with the band (only in a small way) but I also thought what a really nice easy going people to work with.

Brilliant evening, Bex has an amazing voice and is a truly brilliant guitar player, put that together with amazing harmonica playing, a great atmosphere and a worthwhile cause and you had an evening to remember

Her guitar playing is terrific, it wasn't loud, it wasn't distorted. In fact I asked her to turn it up a little as I could not hear some of the time over the background talking and when she did it was even better.

Why do people go to a gig and talk all the way through it ??? What a waste of an evening . They might as well go to a pub where they are on their own . !! I wish i could have been there .
