Having heard about this band for a while now, I actually got to see and hear them at my daughter's 18th birthday party. They were superb. They had myself and my youngest busting moves and singing along. They really 'rocked' and the songs were chosen well. Til we meet again, thank you Dakota Smile.

I had the pleasure of watching this band and then sitting in with them at The Glenn Club. Professional, entertaining, with a rocking repertoire, this band is well worth getting along to see when they're playing near you.

Having seen this band a couple of times in 'practise sessions', I was very impressed by their 3-set gig extravaganza at their 'home' pub (unfortunately only being able to see the first 2 sets). Since that very first time (with a line-up change), they have improved in leaps and bounds driven by their enthusiasm to provide a superb night's entertainment with self-critical professionalism.

Their repertoire spans 5 decades with a variety of styles from original 60's Rock/Roll: "Honky Tonk Women" - The Rolling Stones & "Bad Moon Rising" - Creedence Clearwater Revival, through to 70's "All Right Now" - Free, 80's Classic Rock: Queen's - "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" & "I Want To Break Free", 90's Pop/Rock Oasis - "She's Electric" & 00's Bluesy Alternative Rock - "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.

Being a Queen Fan, this was 'music to my ears' and had me 'seat-bopping' along for most of the night. I also very much enjoyed "All Over Now" by 'The Stones', though the speciality for me was "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles - a very difficult track (nigh on perfectly sung) in that Southern Blues/Rock meld style.

Although, having had to leave early, I am unable to comment on any of the band's 3rd set songs, my overall view was that the set-list got progressively 'rockier' with the occasional 'oddball' thrown in to keep everyone guessing, so my expectation would have been for this trend to continue. What I can say, however, is that I feel vaguely cheated at having missed out on the enjoyment of hearing one of my personal favourites in the band's final, also signature, song "Dakota" by the Stereophonics.

The venue, though lacking a little in attendance, is still a very decent pub, serving a reasonable ale, and there was plenty of dancing and merriment from the locals, so I am greatly looking forward to Dakota Smile's next gig and expect them to be warmly received.

Rock on guys & gals!
