I know you shouldn't read your own reviews but..


A really nice review of our July gig at Doc Brown's for 4 Play by Simon Rylander
I can honestly say this months four 4PLAYS were the best I’ve ever seen! And what a start! Grass Route managed to get McCormick, Cherry Head Cherry Heart, Head Of Light Entertainment, and The Alice Charmers all into one gig, for the 4th July 4PLAY. McCormick started us off with a set that had everyone “stomping” along. This guy switches effortlessly between ballads that have lyrics that make your heart melt and mid-tempo songs that quite literally give you Goosebumps. Make sure you visit his really cool website www.mccormick.com 
What a pleasure it is to listen to Head Of Light Entertainment. Its rare to find a band so expressive in what they do, and if you’re ever having a bad day/week/month/year, just spend five minutes watching their set and all your troubles will melt away. Cherry Head Cherry Heart gave us all a lesson on how duets should be sung, and then The Alice Charmers took to the stage with banjos in hand. 
These magnificent men and their strumming machines combine polished talent, humour, and a voodoo-like ability to get you off that bar stool and dance with random strangers! Top tip for when you go and see The Alice Charmers – make sure you’re at the front, and that there’s plenty of room. Yeah, yeah, I know you dont want to dance, but that’s irrelevant because you won’t be able to help it!

The Alice Charmers at Doc Browns 13 Dec

Grass Route proudly invites you to come support some of the best up and coming talent who are gagging to entertain you. We have scoured the web and listened carefully to create what we think will be one almighty, unreal night. So come enter our humble abode at Doctor Browns and witness some of the greatest Homegrown Acts and little diamonds from out of town EVERY THURSDAY for the paltry fee of FREE.

Tonights special show has been hand selected for your ears enjoyment and features in order of...
appearance:

**BEN TURNER**
One of Boros finest, hottest, talented musicians. Ben has played a couple of 4PLAY's and has dazzled everytime. Let his acoustic tales envelope your taste and leave nothing behind other than a new satisfaction for music.

**THE CROOKED BEATS**
Mint new band consisting of some unreal musicians. A trio in size but an orchestra in sound. Funked up Boro Blues. Like a breath of fresh air. So fresh like drinking a cold glass of water after necking a tube of Trebor Extra Strong. Mint guitars, beautiful bass and dirty drums combine to give you....The Crooked Beats.

**JAMES AUGER & THE NATIVES**
Grass Routes Bezza James has been away far too long so we have brought him back armed to the back teeth with an amazing band and some sweet brand spanking new tunes. James is always travelling to places like North America, Canada and Scandinavia but always has a place for Boro in his heart so lets get them arms stretched and invite in some spine-tingling, hair standing music to get them heads nodding like the Churchill Dog.

**THE ALICE CHARMERS**
Yes yes yes it is with great pleasure Leon can tell everyone he is bringing The Alice Charmers back to Doc Browns. What a band if you aren't moving when they are mid-flight then you surely must have a great excuse (Or Poor Taste) The first time Leon ever step foot in Docs The Charmers were in mid set and Leon was amazed. That was ages ago, its been too long. The time is now. Banjos, Boro, Blue Grass, Believe!!!!
