A most enjoyable evening with a full house of audience in attendance.”

“Great sounds good relaxed sympathetic playing you get the sense that you are all enjoying it and it comes across as such. Lets have more of your own tunes as they are great:-)”

“The sound they produce is just brilliant. The fiddles playing off one another ... a subtle flute ... with rhythm being supplied by a guitar and bodhran just made for a lively and entertaining set.”

“fabulous stuff!! i wish you were in arizona! i'd have you play my party!!!”

“High octane folk delivered with gusto, this band have a good reputation for putting on a really good show and they don’t disappoint us tonight with their fair selection of covers. Its not the entire band tonight and they are unplugged but what a performance, they are to put it simply very entertaining and well worth booking, I am I admit a fan of the band. But with very good reason , they are always a good live act .Go and see them if you have not had a chance yet, as they are well worth seeing! ”

“A vibrant mix of styles. . . well crafted arrangements. . . great harmonies. . . pulsating celtic tunes”

“Sheffield Folk Legends, Jacks Rake.”

“One of the liveliest and most loved folk bands around.”

“Both I and the audience were highly delighted by a display of fine musicianship and a very entertaining range of superbly arranged material.”

“Then pure heaven, The great “big” sound of Jack’s Rake. Jack’s Rake have performed at Acoustic Rotherham on three occasions over the years and have never failed to entertain, but this performance was excellence beyond the call of duty and simply outstanding ... Even our Leader, non Folkie Steve could be seen dancing around the Gallery, and the crowd they pulled in from outside was proof positive of the popularity of their sound.”

“Just a quick note on behalf of Mike,the staff, myself and the regulars at the Royal Oak to say thank you for a wonderful performance on Saturday night. Mike and myself in various guises over the years have both booked a lot of bands and acts for various events and without doubt this is one of the best nights I have been involved with in a long time. I am concerned you have set such a high standard that the bands booked for the Easter beer festival will struggle to follow!”
