 If you need a band for a wedding... Langdon Court Hotel, Wembury on Sat 5th May 07 | |
 ....Dodgey Practice are the band!
They played at our wedding at Langdon Court - it was absolutely FANTASTIC - everyone loved the band and they really played to suit the mood of the audience.
I hadn't seen Dodgey Practice since the Exeter Festival last year, and was aware that they had a new lead singer, which I was a bit nervous about, but he was fab - they all were!
The sound guys were fantastic too - everyone really enjoyed it - it made our day so special - really different, something for everyone. We are going to see them at the Spinning Wheel soon... we're addicted! Thanks guys! | |

| Well Funky Top Band The Spinning Wheel, Paignton on Thu 26th Jan 06 | |
I was sceptical, not being too big a fan of the commitments / blues brothers etc, but Dodgey Practice turned me. The enthusiasm of their set, the tightness of the horns, the sexy female singers and overall great musicianship had me as close to showing outward enthusiasm as possible when trying to remain 'cool' (Dancing is not my forte!)
I was pleased to see covers such as Incognito, Sister Sledge, Freak Power and Rolls Royce in the set. Certainly qualified them as a Funk based outfit which took me back to the heady days when Acid Jazz ruled the roost in the bay. I would thoroughly recommend this band to any of the Car Wash fans out there.
The drummer had a very clean funky tone to his kit and was obviously very into his playing which circulated around the band. The guitarist's solos shone, he is obviously talented; as is the keyboard player. He had some great sounds and his solos were great also. The brass section were very 'tight' and when the young Sax players took there turn in the spotlight they did not disappoint.
The vocals were excellent, the lead guy had great interaction with the audience and sung well. The two girls sang great in harmony but really shone when they sang there own numbers. Personally I would have liked to have seen more of this. The need to have a front 'man' surely is not necessary any more and these lovely ladies certainly captivated & engaged the audience.
It seemed to me that this gig was not just another pay cheque. Dodgey Practice obviously are a band who thoroughly enjoy gigging and this enjoyment filters through to the packed audience who were dancing and singing along and generally interacting with the band. | |

These guys blew me away!
They're full of energy, gusto and obvious love for the music they play! The music flows from them so easily... If you haven't seen them before, you absolutely must! Best gig I've been to, no question! | |
