(Sunday evening Kinecroft Big Stage)

"Energetic, colourful, bizarre, hilarious, uplifting - costume changes and jokes amid a cacophony of musical styles brought howls of laughter from an appreciative audience."
- Brentwood Gazette, 20/4/2011

"I don't recall ever having as many favourable comments about a band as we have had about you" - Dom Wills (Artistic Director Burnham-on-Sea Folkfest, Sept 2010)

"What a fabulous evening of entertainment the LPSO treated us to. The format certainly worked well and everyone who attended was full of praise not only for your musicianship but also the way in which you entered into the spirit of the event so well. In the words of one attendee “in 20 years of attending City events I can say that I have never seen anything like it; it will go down as one of our special memories, for all the right reasons”.
- Julian Squire (Master, Worshipful Company of Upholders, March 2011 )

"You coped magnificently with our weird television ways"
- Dawn Payne (Producer, The 5 O'Clock Show, Channel 4, July 2010)

"The LPSO raised the roof....with laughter, insanity & a fantastic range of every type of music possible. The audience left with wide smiles & happy hearts saying "We haven't laughed so much in years!"
- Gill Scard (Director, King's Theatre, Cheddar, Nov 2009)

"Zany madcappery with faultless musicianship"
- Ian McGlynn (Artistic Director - Rondo Theatre, Bath, March 2009)
