 Fun and Games at the Engine. crop circle on Sat 28th Jun 08 | |
  Good fun on Saturday night as always. It was like being on tour with the Stones - not that I know from personal experience, of course, but I am currently reading Ronnie Wood's autobiography so that obviously makes me an expert on such matters! Great music from the stage and a lively audience!
We have now been following Crop Circle for three years and they're not tired of playing and we're not tired of going along to see them. They have a lot of fun and therefore they create a lot of fun. Perhaps they won't be playing Wembley Arena any time shortly but they deliver an energetic set of songs with a lot of enthusiasm.
Just one request please - bring back "Radar Love"! | |

| Saturday Night's Alright for Dancin crop circle on Sat 5th Apr 08 | |
 In the dark mists of time (1979/1980) I lived just outside Chicago and, during my time in the US, I was amazed at how many bars had live music and, even better, I was stunned at how good they all were. Came back to the UK at the end of 1980 and from that day on I have mourned the absence of live music in bars over here, people who haven't given up the day jobs, but who play for the love of it, enjoy themselves and, most importantly, the audience catch on and love it as well.
"Crop Circle" take me back to those halcyon days in the States - they played "The Engine" at Baldock on Saturday and rocked the crowd. And I learned something, I realised that I had under estimated the power of AC/DC as a lot of people (and they weren't that old!) knew the words to "Whole Lotta Rosie". There was headbanging, air guitars and a lot of silliness generated by the five blokes on stage.
I think we've seen "Crop Circle" about seven times or so and I think it's safe to say that, as long as they keep going, we'll keep going to see them. They sing songs connected to people I once met - does being in hospital with Marc Bolan's auntie count (I kid you not!)? By the way, if you ever change your name, how about "The Trouble Boys" (Thin Lizzy)? | |

| Live music lives! crop circle on Sat 15th Sep 07 | |
 I first went to see Crop Circle because their guitarist is a friend of my next door neighbours - I now go and see them them because they're excellent. Great music played by people who obviously enjoy what they're doing although it bothers me slightly that I probably possess 99% of the songs they play!
Very entertaining as always at The Engine on Saturday - glad to know that decent live music still exists in this country and you don't have to pay £100 (Police tickets anyone?) to get in!
If you haven't seen them, and your record collection is overloaded with 60s, 70s and 80s rock, make the effort - after all, what's wrong with having a good time? | |

| Crop Circle seriously rock! crop circle on Sun 27th Aug 06 | |
At the end of a weekend of music Crop Circle effectively headlined at a packed Engine. I have seen this band several times before and they just get better and better. They put on a fantastic show with lighting rig and PA. I doubt you will see a better covers band ANYWHERE on the local circuit.
An excellent band highly recommended to punters and landlords alike! Rock on guys, you are the best! | |
