"I
thought there was a Freddy King record playing as I walked down
the stairs into the club, but it was Minhinnett and his band,
without exception, the most exciting Band to hit the British blues
scene in years. Very simple arrangements, strong, soulful material
- written by Minhinnett - a great band, fronted by a Guitarist
who plays with an intensity even the great Buddy Guy himself would
find it hard to beat”.

“Arguably the most powerful and
emotive blues guitar/singer to emerge in Britain in recent years,
playing and writing the blues in a distinctive and contemporary
style very much his own. His vocal talent matches his guitar work,
with a gravely blues voice that would do justice to any Chicago
Blues Lounge”
...Edinburgh Festival...
“As soon as he strapped on his
red Stratocaster, it was like Eric Clapton was in the room. So
much of Minhinnett’s superb playing echo’s Clapton
at his best. Oh! If only the man himself played with such passion
these days”.
...Jeremy Gomm -
Evening Gazette...
“Minhinnett’s passionate
and abrasive guitar style is often reminiscent of a mix of Otis
Rush and the Peter Green of old, that we all knew and loved”
...Peter Feenstra
- Time Out...
“Ray has proved himself to be
an exciting player and the possessor of the best set of vocal
tubes of any British singer on the current scene. The playing
and expression of this band was formidable, and they can easily
hold their own against the best of the US bands which grace our
shores - Robert Cray, Ronnie Earl, Walter Trout, Jimmy Vaughan
etc.”
