The Zetland Players

RECENT GIG REVIEWS:



"The Zetland Players do something with music that other bands are finding harder and harder to do. They make you dream and move to the music. In the venue, I saw an old couple waltz and a pirate applaud a ship captain. Others danced a jig and ate strawberries from champagne flutes. Even I, usually dead on my feet, began tapping my toes, and didn't wake up until the music had stopped."



***** (five stars) MUSIC-NEWS; Live Gig Review



"They inject their usual rampant energy into every song and, I think the mass turn out would agree, style oozes from their every chord."

"a rollicking press ganged rum soaked stirring shanty of some measure borne out of a rampantly energised acoustically strummed swing-tastic toe tapping saga from the high seas braided by deliciously decoded flotillas of hauntingly shimmering jangles to deliver a homely brew of chest beating goo that catapults you through a myriad of emotions while it freewheels through an eye pokingly ramshackle and finitely crooked fun filled sidestepping haze of furious folk and moments of tranquil mellowness."LOSING TODAY

Jan 2007 DEBUT E.P 'Making Friends With.'



"Songs as perfect as Staten Island Serenade defy comparisons to other bands, and as stated earlier, the music has such a crisp, defined sound, and it's so pleasurable to listen, to that you forget about all your minor troubles, like writing semi-readable reviews.There really aren't any weak tracks on this (thankfully) very long EP"

Lobster Quadrille Magazine



"Swinging like a world war to big band and happier than a barrel full of cockatoos."

Alex Gale, New-Noise.net



"This collection of songs is an excitable and contemporary mixture of folk and pop. The Zetland Players are filled with potential."
