 After Nicki Parrot’s comments, we were looking forward to seeing Jake Bristow. Very disappointing, he is lucky we paid for the tickets before the show. Had he asked for a collection at the end, he would not have enough money for a bus ride home. Not happy.

 High seats at a round table not especially comfortable for us for 3 hours - nowhere to put our feet. Good view. Great music. Nicki's speaking voice a little soft to hear at times. Band volume sometimes too loud and not balanced to support Nicki's expressive interpretation of songs.

 Did not enjoy the View from Madelines Couch this time. We found the music a bit boring and not familiar at all. Talented musicians though. Also the meal was very ordinary but service was good. Ridiculous prices for the drinks! Some people near us talked non stop all night which was very frustrating and spoiled the whole night. Not our best Jazz night after coming to many of them.

 A great night out

Sep 19, 2024
by: Mark Van Den Berg

How did you like the event?

 It was ok, was not so impressed with the lead singer, to me Jazz is sensory and Rhythmic and that needs to be expressed through the band especially the lead. The band was amazing, the Saxophone 🎷 solos were awesome and the musicians obviously had a passion for their craft but were let down by the lead lacking that passion and she was reading the lyrics for most of the songs. Which was disappointing and distracting.

Sep 19, 2024
by: Sharon Ferriman

How did you like the event?

 The idea of turning pop music into jazz didn’t quite work out as most of the songs were unsuited. As someone who has played in a band I felt they were not all playing in sync.

Sep 19, 2024
by: Darcy Lloyd

How did you like the event?

 Underwhelming. Robyn’s vocals were weak and did not project past the stage. Her voice was almost monotone. The bands musical structure was problematic for us as well. Start song, saxophone solo, electric piano solo, finish song. Boring. They tortured “heard it through the grapevine” . That’s when we left. To be fair, you have to visit some poor performances to hear the good ones. Looking forward to the next offering. PS… the meals were good.🤓
