“Sampling one part 1940’s style jazz with two parts rap doesn’t happen very often and when it does happen it’s usually terrible. Top marks then for Big Band Theory which tastefully does what most fail to do.”

"The Big Band Theory is a seriously heavyweight hip hop record! Fusing big band sounds with incredibly well constructed vocals parts, its surely set to be one of the records that helps to re-establish Bristol as the Hip Hop capital of the UK." -

“On the main stage at Grosvenor Green there were plenty of acts to keep people happy until the small hours of Sunday morning, including Tough Touch, Funkesteins, Planetman and reggae ambassador Earl 16 and his band The Soothsayers.”
