What they say: " When Laughing Gravy advertise themselves as playing ' music the way my grandaddy used to', they mean acoustically, without any electrical assistance whatsoever...Their show is a throwback to the Vaudeville days of yore, chock full of blues, hokum. Gospel country and lots of kazoos. They play to entertain pure and simple. And although they may incorporate more risque references into their act than god might like, I prefer to think god has a sense of humour. Laughing Gravy are great performers."

He has also become well known for the open stage acoustic sessions he runs at the leading UK Blues Festivals as well as being booked himself to play at festivals all over Europe and the UK. His gritty blues, bluesy voice and driving slide guitar create an atmosphere redolent of the old bluesmen, but, stamped with his own very individual personality.

" Saying this guy just strums his Stratocaster is like saying a nuclear reactor just puts off a little heat." Northwest Dancer

What they say:" There may be a supergroup of the future lurking on this." - The Times

" Six of Britains finest young blues and R&B bands. The big Blue kick off with some Norman Greenbaumy riffs and a strong and raw voice, followed by Blazin Row, a cool and very american influenced R&B band. CBN are a steady 4 piece outfit, again with a grotty vocalist and the bonus of an equally gritty slide guitarist. The Freeze have some super cool harmonica while Reconsider take the biscuit for me with their bar-room, Hammond organ/brass section supported style and the excellent vocals of Fliss Dowling - a real bluesy lady and very Sam Brown. Midnight Willie brings this clever intro to new Brit talent to a more up beat and Rock'n'Roll style." -The Journal Of The Classic Rock Society Ben Bonham (USA)

What they say: " 'Tin Butty' takes in a mixture of styles from jazz to blues all delivered in the inimitable Wolfie Witcher 'corblimey' manner - no pseudo soul or mid-Atlantic emphasis for our lad; which is straight forward and refreshing considering all the posing and posturing that's dominated British versions of American music since the 50's. The CD is subtitled 'Jammin with friends' and thats what you get with the featured nucleus of his 'Brew Band', that plays the Underworld at Camden Town on Saturday afternoons. Go there once, you'll go again!....The best of British R'n'B with that pub/club atmosphere that Wolfie generates live or on disc. - Southern & Rocking Music

" As the title suggests 'Tin Butty' focuses heavily on Witchers own harmonica playing, which really is astonishingly accomplished. All of Wolfies albums have included a wide range of source materials, but none more so than this value for money programme. All of the above numbers feature Wolfies fat toned harp and several have actually been turned into harmonica showcases, with Witcher proving himself more than capable of carrying off the sort of jazzy, horn like passages normally associated with Charlie Musslewhite and the like....Any blues album that can get away with turning Willie Dixon's most hallowed classic into a cockney knees-up has to be doing all right. - Blueprint

17 tracks: Lipstick Traces; Working In A Coalmine; Monkey Man; Mother In Law; I'll Go Crazy; I'm Walkin'; Show Me; Mardi Gras Mambo; Holy Cow; Reconsider Baby; Feel so Bad; Somethin' You Got; Constipation blues; I Got You; The Wild Rover; Going Back To New Orleans; It's A Long Way To Tipitinas.

Wolfie Witcher - Voc. & Harp; Pete Emery & Gareth Thomas - Gtrs; George Carless & Kit Packham - Saxes; Kit Packham - Flute; Denny Ball - Bass; Sam Kelly Drums.

What they say: "It's Wolfies vocals and harp going to a lot of hard work for a giggle. The hard work you don't notice, but it's there right enough. Bleedin good fun." - Southern & Rocking Magazine

12 tracks: Tequila; Walkin' By Myself; Too Many Hotdogs; Land Of A Thousand Dances; I Want To Be Loved; Dossin' Down; Got My Mojo Workin'; Ooh Poo Pah Doo; Pills; Sloppy Drunk; Zaz Zul Zaz/Minnie The Moocher; Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky.

Musicians - Same as 'Tipitina's'

What they say: " This represents only a portion of Wofie's repertoire featuring a lively participating audience which is a trademark of his performances, where a sense of ' a good time ' is had by all, band and audience alike. Wolfie has always been a strong supporter of blues and R & B. He has his own interpretation of sometimes obscure songs which he delivers to audiences, some not necessarily familiar with blues and R & B, with a universal humour that breaks down barriers within minutes. Even without the all important visual antics, 'Howlalongawolfie' still transcend via the minds eye to the funnybone!"
