"The best live band I’ve seen for a long time! So much energy in their music made for a fantastic night of singing and dancing. Can’t wait to see them again. Great night lads, well played." Marc Hanks
"These guys were superb. CIRCA79. 3 sets of late 70s and early 80s, absolutely fu#@*ng brilliant. Thoroughly recommend seeing them. Great evening of music." Dave Moffatt
"Absolute belter of a night!!" Julie Robinson
"CIRCA79 isn’t just a cover band, they’re a time machine. With a setlist that blasts through Punk, Ska, New Wave and early 80s Electro Pop, Circa channel the chaos and charisma of the original scene. From The Clash to The Specials, via The Jam and Talking Heads, you are taken on a musical revisit of the late 70’s and early 80’s.They’ve nailed the sound and spirit, their gigs are alive. Crowds of old punks, rude boys, mods and goths pack out venues to skank, stomp, and singalong to Ant Music, Message in a Bottle, and Swords of a Thousand Men, with real gusto. It’s pure energy, It’s loud, It’s glorious.What sets CIRCA79 apart is their love for the era, and the way they bring people together, in a joyful celebration of a time when music meant something." Jerry Lewis
"CIRCA79: Second time we have had this band and boy they do not disappoint. We had a full house with both bars singing and dancing along! Customers and staff had a great evening, back to the good ole days of a 'jolly up'. Can't wait till they return." Neil (Governor, Swan West Wickham)
"Best band seen in the Swan since Bright White" Paul Jarrett
"We saw this group at The Cavern in Raynes Park on 7th February. They are absolutely amazing. Definitely a must see." Sharon Francis
"They absolutely smashed it last weekend. Nothing but positive comments from everyone who had danced their socks off." Thames Side Brewery
"This was one bloody brilliant band ; great music, great voices . Was our first time seeing CIRCA79, will def be seeing them again." Amanda Lovelock
"Highly recommend. See you next Saturday!" Andy Parker
"Packed To The Rafters - What A Smashing Night! I just cannot find enough words to describe your gig at our little humble pub in Ewell.. We all got excited at the point of the soundcheck and just knew it was going to be awesome!! From your repertoire to your followers, the energy in the room was one we have not witnessed here for some time. Closing the doors due to capacity was something we didn't anticipate. We are grateful to your wonderful supporters for baring with our bar team. Bands like yours are keeping music alive in these very uncertain times in hospitality, so keep it up lads - Well done and see u next year!! " Jody (Landlady, Eight Bells, Ewell)
"Finally saw you guys at The Cavern Friday night and I have to say you were brilliant. Definitely coming to see you again and I will be bringing a good few people with me." Terry Waters
"You guys were amazing!!! Thank you so much, the reviews from our customers for you were incredible " The Acre, Windsor
"Bestest band I've seen for I don't know how long. Come back to Windsor soon." Dan Wall
"What a fantastic evening!!! So great to hear you guys banging out classics from my youth!! You've earned yourselves a new fan " Debbie Cutlan
"Great night as always CIRCA79 especially the dancing and the drinking bit " Tony Skilton
"What a brilliant night, lots of happy faces and some sweaty ones, me included, dancing the night away! Just fantastic! CIRCA79 you blew the roof off the place!" Michele Pearson
"What can I say - another brilliant evening and the venue was fab as well. See you guys soon" John Malet De Carteret
"Another fantastic weekend watching CIRCA79 @ The Nightingale in Sutton and The Swan West Wickham. Both venues were packed and shout out to the staff at both venues who kept the drinks flowing. Last night the band delivered a rip roaring 3 set performance full of classic punk, ska and rock/pop numbers which electrified the crowd into singing and dancing along with the thumping sounds from 4 talented musicians who not only perform but entertain and interact with the crowd. Newbies and followers, oldish and youngish alike, both enjoyed the night. Catch them where you can - there's a load of gigs coming up so pop down to a venue and support the band." Henryk Mackiewicz
"Amazing set - every part of my body hurts this morning!!! It was a real party!" Fiona Martinly
"Superbo!! Had a great time, you smashed it!" Liz Bonini
"I caught the two CIRCA79 gigs this weekend at The Nightingale and The Swan. This band is kicking it. Great concept, the music from the late 70’s to the early 80’s, which has led to the band performing an eclectic set of music, which is the soundtrack to my late teens. Plus on top of that their presentation, use of social media and being approachable to their audience. Yes, Circa have created a fun vibe, a good night out, but underpinned by a great set list. Kicking set, where the audience dance, sing, laugh and leave buzzing." Jerry Lewis
"In Watford, a brilliant night, took me right back to my youth as I left school in 79 " Robin Carolan-Gibbard
"Great gig, well done Gents, I think everyone in da house enjoyed it." Grant Verrell
"Cracking gig! Thanks lads! 24000 steps dancing! " Colette Mason
