"I booked the Straw Dogs for my son Dan's 30th Birthday party after having seen them at another party. I had a slight concern that a bunch of thirty somethings may not have heard or been born when some of the tracks were around. I need not have worried, from the first track to the last the dance floor was full and rocking. The Straw Dogs are a really tight band and the tracks are as good as the originals. If you are having a party, why consider any other band, you would be missing out. AWESOME, as Dan said at the end of the night."

"I had a lot of people say that it was exactly the thing for the evening and that the band was excellent. It’s a tribute to you guys that it appealed to such a wide range of people, it was a great set with loads of different material. Thanks for making it a great evening."
Simon Clemow, Bristol Car Club Centenary, Castle Combe Raceway, June 2011

"You played (wonderfully) at Robin and Emma's wedding a couple of weeks ago. Everyone has been saying how professional, how talented and joyous the sound was. You obviously enjoyed playing as much as we enjoyed the experience and the atmomsphere was exactly right. Robin and Emma were very touched that you made a special effort to learn the song they requested and we all felt it was even better than the Al Green version. We can't thank you enough for making a very special day into a very special evening."
Dian Myers, Westbury-on-Severn - June 2010
Any band that can put Goldfrapp, Talking Heads and Streophonics in their set gets my vote. Brilliant!

"You were brilliant! Thank you so much"
MIchael Varley, Pirates & Roses, Clifton Village, Dec '09
"I wanted to say how much we enjoyed Saturday and to compliment you on your performance - huge and refreshing amount of energy, and lots of new material. Many in the audience were going for it, really good fun, and to have 3 vocalists too gave a fantastic range."
Mrs. W., Cheddar - Oct 2009
"I must say that I was very impressed with you guys. I had kind of expected a covers type of thing, but you guys were much better than that. I always reckon that you can judge any band by the covers they choose, and along with some good favourites from the Beatles, Stones and the Who, some of your other ones were inspired.... that wonderful arrangement of a Tom Petty track. There isn’t anyone who shouldn’t be back-slapped. I’d like to see the band again, you were a lot smarter then the average bear so to speak"
Michael Thorne - Bath, April 2009
"The Straw Dogs were absolutely fantastic. I would like to say a huge thank you from everyone at bibic for the time and effort that the band put in towards making the charity night a huge success. With their support we were able to raise over £1,100 which will help families with disabled children. The crowd loved them and we did not want them to stop! Same time next year guys?"
Lucie Howells, bibic - March 2009
Wrington Journal - April '09 (footnote: event raised £1,162 for BIBIC)
"If I see only one live performance this year, this would be it!!!! You were all awesome and everyone should buy, beg or steal a ticket to see you. Awesome....fabulous.....fantastic.....you rock."
