My first time at RipleyLive and what a great venue for Dr. Feelgood. Wonderful to see a hall full of mainly fifty year olds refusing to admit to getting older and steadily bopping away. | ||

The Guy Tortora gig was a blast. I've not been to the last 4 Ripley gigs, so it was a real treat to be back amongst friends. I almost lost track of the number of people who asked about my health. The Blues Room is the best venue in the area, attended by some lovely people - and the videos are ultra-professional. Thanks .... |

First time at Ripley on Saturday - very impressed. Saw Dr Feelgood a couple of weeks ago at Ilkley, much better at Ripley. Why? Must be the venue and the crowd. Chantel was excellent too. An excellent evening all round, hope to be back soon. PS Was the music played at the interval Sherman Robertson? |

Dear Andy, just wanted to say a big thank you for the last two gigs at Ripley. I had never heard of Buddy Whittington or Lightnin Willie until my visits to Ripley. Both were fantastic and with Lightnin Willie the music at times was almost hypnotic ............. and what a great harmonica player. Absolutely brilliant. Also, love the inclusion of videos on the history section of the website. A nice touch .. hope this will be done for each gig in future. |

Lightnin Willie and the Poor Boys absolutely blew me away at the weekend!! Best gig I've been to for a long time, from kickin' ass on-stage to singing face to face bare acoustic amongst the audience. The 44s weren't half bad either - thanks Andy and the team for an outstanding night out. |

Hi Andy and all your members. Many thanks for making Lucy, Tom and I welcome last night. The venue is great, the facilities, sound etc were top notch. Your audience was appreciative - even allowing for the Lancashire/Yorkshire hostilities The band were terrific too - shame we couldn't stay until the end, but what we heard was tremendous. |

Second time of seeing Ainsley on Saturday, having seen most bands in my 50 years! I rated the saturday night gig as one of the best, guitaring was clear crisp and awesome, who was the drummer? booked to see them in Kendal in April. Some commentator wrote that some one should throw money at this band - with a bit of serious backing, they will be massive. venue was cool too!! |

hi Andy really enjoyed last night great venue,great atmosphere,have seen Aynsley 3 times Manchester Acedemy ,Duchess, York and last night-by far the best venue and performance by Aynsley really enjoyed his new songs and old that i hadnt heard before. Credit also to support band Dan Burnett they impressed me and maybe would go to watch them as well but Aynsley really a star thanks for putting on a great evening. | ||

Just a few words to say how much we enjoyed the Aynsley Lister gig last night. A very underrated guitarist, maybe if he was american he would get the exposure Bonamassa gets. Was suprised at how strong his voice was as well. Gonna try and see Aynsley again. Soon. TOP BLOKE. | ||

It was a great night last night at the Hamsters gig. Things are looking good for next year - I googled Bex Marshall this morning & saw some of her stuff on Youtube & it looks fantastic - remind me at the Kyla gig & I will get a couple of tickets. I suggest that you recommend that other people do the same & I'm sure that it will be a sell out. |

Dear Andy I am writing on behalf of the Band and Ali and Geoff the PA guys to thank you for Saturday - your hospitality, the meal at the Boars Head and the warmth shown to the band was fantastic. What a lovely audience and a great venue. The people who bought tickets from us really loved it too and you will be getting some recruits not least my wife and myself. We would love to play again and if we are still going in 2011 we would ask if you would consider putting us on again. |

Just a short note to say thanks for a tremendous gig by The Stumble. In my view they are right up there amongst the best bands we get – NBZ, Feelgood etc. I have seen them at Butlins a few times and they are the only band I have ever seen there that has been allowed an encore! I look forward to their next gig. |

Martin Harley in the Blues Room on August 1st was another first class gig. The Blues Room vibe can't be beaten .... it is special both for atmosphere, acoustics and the artist. Martin Harley was a class act. Unfortunately, there's no way a CD can ever sound that good! It'll have to do though until he returns. Thanks to everyone involved .... including the audience. |

The Mods worked their socks off, top drawer band and great  to hear Rocky Mountain Way among the set list. Extra brownie point for sneaking in a Pink Floyd number, and Stay With Me by the Faces, the first band I got into at the tender age of 11.A few weeks earlier the Ian Siegal Band were superb, a great 3 piece set-up Congrats to everyone involved in setting these gigs up PS: About time I won the raffle, 5 years at least and nowt to show for it |

Dear Ripley Blues Club, We are really looking forward to playing at your venue on the 11th of July and we have one of the finest guitarists in Great Britain, Gary Grainger on lead guitar, who spent nearly 10 years with the Rod Stewart Band co writing songs such as Hot Legs and Im only Joking and many more. He has played with The Who and also in Roger Daltreys Band, and also performed alongside Pete Townsend. at the Albert Hall for the Ronnie Lane Tribute Gig. Outstanding slide player so expect some searing blues as well as classic Who, Small Faces, Cream, Faces, Kinks and Rolling Stones plus some real surprise numbers...what we call our Magic Numbers !!! Please spread the word as this is our first visit, of which we hope will turn into many future gigs. We give 500% and our motto is Maximum Entertainment. Hope to see your faces in the crowd and our Kindest Regards Johnny Warman The Mods Tribute to an Era 1964 - 1970 |

Just a note to thank you for a great gig on Saturday. Jean and I thoroughly enjoyed Eddies performance and what a pleasant chap. It always amazes me when watching someone play so many instruments at once as well as singing. Ever since I was a lad who appreciated Larry Adler on the harmonica it has been a pleasure watching players of that instrument. We also thought the gig upstairs was very comfortable and the sound was perfect. |
