Oh what a night ….Friday 12th May at the newly refurbished Neeld Hall Chippenham. The place was packed and the band delivered an electric set.
You three guys do the music of the late 60’s great justice. Having seen you in Melksham and Bath in the past, we can’t wait until Jan ’24 to catch you at the Komedia… here’s hoping that you can grace the main stage then.
I’ve still got Hendrix songs playing in my head…
Pity you had to leave out White Room ( tired starlings, restless diesels, goodbye-windows) but Badge was a great substitute. Brilliant Bass and Drum solos from Jev and Tonksy, and Pete finger-force to be reckoned with.
Thanks again from Dave and the Lads from Bath.
Brilliant gig at the lovely Century Theatre, Coalville last night to a full house. Every number a winner. Love you guys – thank you for keeping the music of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream alive and live, and bringing it to a younger audience. See you at The Garrick, Lichfield soon. Great night. Thank you.
Great gig tonight. It certainly stopped my Tinnitus screaming for a few hours. Nice to hear the Radio Station I work for breaking through your sound system. Sorry about that.
Brilliant gig tonight at the Cryer in Carshalton (not b…. Surbiton!). You guys have nailed it and that’s no easy task. Well done to all 3 of you and hope to see you again somewhere in South London soon.
3rd March 2023 …Saw them tonight in St.Ives. I’d heard they were good and they didn’t disappoint.It’s not easy to emulate Hendrix and Cream ; an amazing outfit , all superb musicians ; a wonderful night . Hope to see them in Manchester some time .
Fantastic gig at The Tivoli in Wimborne last night. Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next time. Funny thing – I keep on singing that Russ Abbot song, Atmosphere!
Saw you in Peterborough on 9th Feb 2023. Three very accomplished musicians playing Hendix, Cream and Clapton tracks. What a great night, and such nice guys too chatting with people in the interval.
I know I wasn’t alone in curiously purchasing the ‘Tension City Blues’ CD of your original work – so glad I did, I love it!
Listening to the track ‘Shock’ very loudly in the car today!
Wishing you all the very best!
I see the band in Didcot on Saturday night , it’s the best night out i’ve had in ages. Power to you in all aspecs of the show, so professional, obviously well practiced, but grounded with it.
Thank you for rocking Didcot on Saturday evening , absolutely amazing brilliant musician’s .
Worth waiting the three years, following cancellation due to the first lock down.
Thanks as well for playing “Watchtower” I just threw it in when you were changing last number.
Looking to see you again soon.
Chris,
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys in concert in Didcot last night. Very impressed with the amazing quality of the musicians & so enjoyed listening to the great music of Hendrix and Clapton. Looking forward to seeing them again.
Just seen voodoo room at Didcot last night. Three virtuoso musicians. Wow. Much of the music was new to me believe it or not. Now I understand why Hendrix and Clapton were so famous if they could play like these guys. Drums, bass, guitar all a revelation.
Come back soon.
I was spirited back 50 years to the music of my youth. Pete Orr is as good as Hendrix on the guitar, to the point of having a feedback button on his Marshall amp to reproduce those classic sounds never heard before Hendrix invented them. Voodoo Room is a virtuoso band not to be missed for the shear energy of their performance.
Was lucky enough to be at key theatre
Peterborough last evening , truly amazing evening 3 hugely talented musicians gave an amazing show certainly heading to see again when in the area , would recommend anyone a gig these guys out on a great show
Very professional band , come together perfectly
All three musicians are heads above everyone else ..
Their set will blow you out of your seats , just bloody brilliant
I have seen y’all twice now and due to see you again in October at Basildon Towngate , can’t wait ..
I’ve seen you guys six times now, bought your CD and am constantly checking gif guides to see when you are playing next. I guess that says enough about what I think of you!

Absolutely amazing….. such a treat to hear this music live! Second time we’ve been & can not wait till the next one!!! Honestly were the best gigs in a very long time.
The definition of go hard or go home. The entire band have phenomenal musical talent and a connection to their instruments. As a voodoo virgin, I cannot wait to see them again!
Brilliant concert at Acapela, Pentyrch , Cardiff last night (13 Jan 2023). Great musicians in a great venue. I heard a number of people ask the Programme Director to bring you back soon. I bought the dvd and your album of originals. The cd is excellent. Look forward to seeing you again.
Hey Guys….We bought your phenomenal album Tension City Blues at Medina gig IOW a couple of weeks back – absolutely brilliant!!!
We’d really love to see you perform this material live too!
Hope enough of us request this 🤪
What an absolutely amazing night. Fantastic musicianship. Great humour and great integration between the band members. You can tell that they love to jam together. Worth every penny we spent on our tickets. Saw these guys live at backstage Kinross an intimate venue and boy will be treated to the most fantastic night. The creativity and their engagement with the audience was simply fantastic. Solo playing was amazing as was the trio playing together. Thanks guys for an absolutely brilliant gig I can recommend you guys to absolutely everybody. Get your tickets and get along to one of their gigs they are brilliant.
And guys thanks for sense of humour ref “Magic Roundabout”. I thought it was a bit of fun and a kick back to an era of our generation. You were all amazing!!!!!!!

These guy’s are the real deal. Musically something else and a real pleasure to talk to as a band off stage with an unpretentious attitude that some bands have. It was so good to interview Pete who I have met before on my show on Radio Caroline Flashback ahead of there gig where he kindly invited me to attend there gig as a guest. Do check this band out !
I saw the show in Basildon last night. I wasn’t expecting much. It was terrific. A great performance. The music was played with real passion. An absolute treat. You need to see Voodoo Room!
2022 Mirren Studio Towngate Basildon.
5th or 6th time of seeing the band. Had a great night. Bought the Tension City Blues CD which all three musicians signed, thanks.
Noticed that the Bass is credited to Andy Tolman. I believe Andy left the band around 2015. The CD is dated 2020 and the front cover appears to show Jevon on Bass.
I haven’t heard a better first Blues CD since we saw Larry Miller for the first time. Definitely a powerful force that should be played on Planet Rock and other good music stations.
See VOODOO ROOM first chance you get. If you like their sounds you’ll be hooked for life on them. Super live show.
Bloody hell, what a fabulous night at Silsden Town Hall. You guys were awesome!
Even without winning a free pair of tickets I will definitely be seeing you in the future.
You were a real treat to watch on Thursday at The Elgiva. Totally rock and roll – mind boggling talent; energetic radiance. You showed such skilful balance in capturing raw essence of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream whilst also letting your inner musicality take a shining focus. AWESOME and jaw-dropping in parts, particularly when you as individuals really took your instruments on a journey.
Thanks for a wonderful evening. Best of luck to you and hope to see you very soon indeed ❤
Just back from date night with hubbie at St. Georges theatre Gt. Yarmouth ( beautiful theatre)
Wow what a show. Thank you so much. Didnt think it would be my thing, but I really enjoyed it. Especially, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, the drum solo!!!!!Amazing throughout. Richards looking to book when youre next near us . Nov in Bungay. xx

Saw these guys perform last night at Quay Arts on the Isle of Wight. They were absolutely incredible, cant wait to meet Pete and the guys again.
18th Feb – Enjoyed it all other than the “solos” near the end, given the very late hour as well these were just too much. However the volume was too high (fine at first until turned up) and risks hearing loss in small venues.
Great gig in Leeds on Friday guys. My VR cherry well and truly popped. Come back soon.
Also loving the Tension City Blues album and would definitely come see you do your original material live.
Pete, since you’ve been good enough to share your music here’s a link to one of my albums. (That’s me on backing vocals!)

Friday 11th Feb – Seven Arts Leeds
Fantastic set from Voodoo Room. Lived up to all my expectations., really good musicians playing classics with “the gusto they deserve”. Well deserved standing ovation after 2 hours of great entertainment.
Saw this terrific band at the Mill in Banbury…….hope they come back and perform here again soon! Very talented musicians playing all my favourites: the great Jimmi Hendrix, Cream, Spencer Davis and more. Haven’t been to such a great gig in a long time. Bought a couple of their cd’s which are awesome. Definately a FAN off these guys, go see them live you will be blown away for sure 🙂
I attended the cranleigh gig on Saturday 30th October expecting a competent tribute band but that thought was blown away in the first 10 minutes!! They were exceptional and sitting in the crowd of mostly older aficionados of jimi and Eric’s music they were accorded two standing ovations at the end. Fantastic! I saw jimi and cream in the 60s and if I closed my eyes, I was back there!! Will definitely see them again.
We went to see voodoo room last night at the mill in Banbury. WOW, what a night. We are still talking about the show. Absolutely brilliant. We apologise to all 3 guys for not coming out to see you sooner. What a knock out show. Anyone looking for value for money and a proper band, man you won’t find better. I am trying not to use swear words. Go and see this band and you will understand. Everyone we have spoken to who have asked us what we thought about voodoo room we have told them book tickets. B R I L L I A N T. Thank you guys, Tommy & Jane Carroll. Oxford.
Saw the band for the first time last night at Banbury and it was an awesome performance by all three band members.
Will definitely catch them again and wear my t-shirt with pride!
Well done guys for keeping the music of bygone years alive and kicking
Just watched the band in Deal Kent on 22nd October
Fantastic evening , you guys were so good , very impressed . Hopefully you will be back in Deal .Highly recommend them – superb musicians and very tight , also seem good guys
Brilliant gig at Swindon Arts Centre last night. It took me back to my youth, lying under my car fixing a gear box and listing to Cream on the John Peel show. Those were the days!
Great night seeing this talented band in Swindon, every member a great musician & did there own solo.
Would recommend any music lovers to see them, once again thanks for a great night Voodoo Room.
Blimey, what a cracking set from Voodoo Room! Exquisite musicianship fellas, thanks very much indeed. Only sorry we got caught up in ‘Crosstown Traffic’ and missed the opening 3 numbers!!! By some way the best night I’ve ever had in Swindon! Will defo be checking you out again sometime soon.
Thank you guys for a brilliant gig at The Wharf, Tavistock, Devon on Friday 15th October 2021. Blown away by your excellent musicianship, your great choice of numbers from the featured artist’s extensive back catalogue and your enjoyable stage presence. It was great to chat to you after the gig too when you were very generous with your time after you had worked so hard! Please come back to Tavistock next year!
Amazing performance last night in Tavistock. A breathtaking performance by 3 of the most talented musicians today. I could not recommend you guys enough to any true music connoisseur, can’t wait to see you again!
Saw the band last year in st ives Cornwall, have seen you before in Eastbourne and Chichester,great shows you get inside those bands and there music in an impressive way,also reccomend tension city blues very together and tight,
I’m total Hendrix but saw voodoo room play in art center Gainsborough twice awesome shut ur eyes its Hendrix and Clapton bought DVD can’t wait to see them again
Saw Voodoo Room Saturday Night at the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks. They were Brilliant. Very accomplished musicians. If you get the chance to go and see them, I would certainly recommend you get your ticket for a great night out.
I saw this awesome band in Neath last night , I was blown away by them , superb musicianship, and friendly guys too , I really want to see this band again, every member was a master of his craft , which is rare these days. hard rock done right – whats not to like !
Saturday’s gig – Voodoo Room at The Elgiva. Classic 3 piece – guitar, drums and bass. 2 stacks, a few pedals and a kit. They used the theatre sound and lighting rigs. Sound basically OK, but lighting had a major fail 3 numbers in. Blackout – and when the rig crawled back into action an obvious DMX fail – no varilites. Thankfully sorted during the interval…
So – about the music. The key here (given what they’re covering) – is can the guitarist do Hendrix and Clapton and the drummer do Ginger Baker? The answer – a resounding Yes! Voodoo Chile, All Along The Watchtower, Layla – excellent. And the drummer did an ‘in style’ solo in memory of Ginger. They also benefited from a talented bass player.
Thoroughly recommended if they come near you…
Just seen you at The Elgiva, Chesham – absolutely superb musicianship, I don’t know how you achieve it, I guess hours of practice and the love of doing it.
Really enjoyed myself (although my wife was not keen on coming – too loud for her) !
I saw Voodoo Room last night in Aberdeen. What a totally brilliant gig. These guys played relentlessly for nearly three hours – amazing musicians, amazing sound and totally amazing flawless set. They had everybody rockin’ in the superb intimate venue of The Lemon Tree. I have never enjoyed a gig so much. All the Cream hits and even Toad too. Yes, Toad – awesome drumming. I loved Cream, but never had the opportunity to see them – my mum thought 11 was a bit young and they never came to Elgin anyway. The 50 year wait was so worthwhile. Thank you all!
Great gig at Peterborough Key theatre on 19th Sept 2019. Fabulous playing for well over 2 hours. John Tonks also had time for us in the bar afterwards to talk music. You can’t see Hendrix, you can’t see Cream anymore and you’re lucky if you get to see Clapton, but fear not, this really is the next best thing. Get yourself to a gig soon, you won’t regret it!
Saw you guys in Torrington last night – for the second time – and you did not disappoint. I think the endearing memory will be your rendition of “3rd Stone From the Sun”, which you really nailed. Superb! As you said last night, it’s a challenging piece which really highlights the musicianship of lead, bass and drums. So pleased that you took it on as we don’t hear it anywhere near enough on mainstream media. I remember back in the day, some pop band stole the riff and went unchallenged over the whole time the tune was being played on the radio. I was livid! Anyway. Thanks so much for your brilliant session last night. My wife and I went home so happy. P.S. We also loved your “Toad – the extended version”!
Saw Voodoo Room in Stafford on 17th May. What a truly fantastic band. An extremely talented and entertaining trio! Jevon is possibly one of the best bass players I’ve seen/heard and I’ve seen a good few over the years. A brilliantly tight performance frim all three guys. Please tell me you’ll be back in Stafford soon.
Hi guys. Came to see you play at The Broadway, in Barking. You guys were awesome. Brilliant musicianship. As good, if not better than the original bands. Was totally blown away. Can’t wait to see you guys again. SUPERB.
Saw Voodoo Room at the Mercury Theatre last night. Wasn’t really sure what to expect as I’m not particularly a Hendrix, Cream or Clapton fan but do enjoy a good live gig. Well I certainly got that and a whole lot more, these guys are superb musicians. They were on stage for nearly three hours and played all the Hendrix, Cream & Clapton classics. They look like they really enjoy what they are doing and certainly provide a great evening of entertainment for the audience.
If you get the chance to see Voodoo Room, grab it, you won’t regret it.
We saw Voodoo Room for the first time last night at the Good Intent in Petersfield and had travelled from Basingstoke to see them.
A very cosy venue but what a performance. I have been a Hendrix/Cream Clapton admirer for many years and was totally blown away by the musicianship of these guys. It was like a masterclass in how to play and I can’t wait to see them again wherever the venue. Inspiring!!!! Thanks for such a great performance guys.
Well What a Gig, a crowd of us saw Voodoo Room for the 2nd time at the Bath Komedia last Thursday, they were superb… Being of an age when I bought Hendrix & Cream 1st time around on vinyl it was great to not only hear some favourites but also to be close enough to appreciate the great musician ship of the band.
It is fitting that V.R. play Bath as both Jimi Hendrix and Cream played our famous old Rock venue The Pavilion back in the 60s.
On the night we were treated to a fantastic drum solo by the stand-in drummer who was great, to some fantastic bass playing that Jack Bruce & Noel Redding would have been proud of, and what accolades can we give Pete Orr , probably magic is best for the note perfect sounds he produces…
The evening was rounded off with ‘Happy Birthday’ sung to Jeavon ~ Mr Bassman. We will be rounding up the troops to make sure that the band play the main stage at the Komedia next time they are in Bath.

Just recovering from the gig on the IOWight last night. To say that I was impressed would be a massive understatement. I really had my doubts that a group could get away with covering Hendricks and Cream, but I was wrong. So so wrong . The superlatives escape me awesome is as near as I can get.
IOW audiences are hard to please and polite applause is the Norm. Not so last night if the band were not trying to get on a ferry back to the “North Island” they might still be playing encores.
I will try to get to the next Southampton Gig .Ferry times permitting.
The only thing not like the originals was the lack of Agro between Bass and Drums. Seeing Jack and Ginger back in the mid 60’s the drum solo would often end with Jack kicking over a high hat and Ginger throwing his sticks if not fists at Jack. The crowd loved it. Good old fashion Rock n Roll.
Thanks again for a great nights nostalgia or was it neuralgia?
Well what a band, 2nd time I have seen them at Bath Komedia. Grew up buying Hendrix and Cream Vinyl 1st time around, and both bands played the local Bath Pavilion back in the day… Cream 21 Nov 1966, Hendrix 20 Feb 1967 so for Voodoo Room to play Bath is a great treat to us old rockers.
Thoroughly enjoyable gig last night, great musicianship, Top Drummer and awesome solo, Mr Bassman ‘ Happy Birthday to you’ Jack Bruce & Noel Redding would be very impressed.
Mr Orr just keep on rocking mate! We must get you on the big stage at the Komedia next time, we’ll make sure the word gets around, and try and pack the place.
many thanks Davie B ~ Bath
Amazing special evening of nostalgia with 3 highly accomplished musicians delivering as near perfect sounds to the originals as possible. Stunning guitar work and probably the best drum solo I’ve ever heard. Best night out since 26th November 1968 at the Albert Hall! Many thanks.
Saw these guys at Cranleigh last night. As a lifelong fan of Hendrix, Cream and Clapton I was wondering how they would do justice to such icons. I needn’t have worried they were absolutely superb. Each member of the band excelled and as another person commented there were no gimmicks or silly fancy dress just superb musicianship. At the end of well over two hours they deservedly had a standing ovation from the entire audience. If you love Cream and Hendrix make sure you see these guys in 2019.
Absolutely fabulous concert at the Astor in Deal this evening. How three muscisians can produce such superb sound is beyond me. Each muscician was excellent in their own right. The lead guitarist/singer blew my mind, The bass guitarist was as good as thunder fingers and the drummer was awesome., Tne drummer’s ten minuute solo (or however long it was!) was the most accomplished drum solo I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. Very well done guys. Sorry you had to drive home – I still owe you a pint! Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Excellent performance at Livingston last night ( 18/10/2018 ). No phoney costumes, look-alikes or gimmicks, just authentic sounds of Hendrix and Cream. Highlight of the show was an incredible drum solo performed by Mr Tonks, how he kept that solo pace up for so long was incredible!
They were great, over two hours of Classic rock, and it’s obvious the band love the music of that era.
Not many 3 piece bands would tackle Layla, but it had the power and passion of the original.
Pete Orr’s [ got to have Scottish roots with a name like Orr ] mastery of the strat
was something to see, all the Hendrix licks and runs played to perfection plus the subtle
chordwork that people forget Hendrix excelled at, Pete’s intro to Little Wing was note perfect .
Thanks guys , hope to see you again soon, and I expect you to learn Born Under a Bad Sign and
Sleepy Time Time.
When I saw Voodoo Room on a flyer at St Georges Theatre in Great Yarmouth, I was in two minds whether to go or not. After a lot of shall I, shan’t I, on the day before the gig I decided to go. Luckily I managed to get a ticket. What a good job I did.
It was a great night, I’ve never seen Hendrix before, but it was just like I imagined a gig. However I have seen and met Cream two times at the old Floral Hall in nearby Gorleston in the ’60s. I was just like the real thing. Pete has Clapton off to a tee, Andy is just brilliant and as for John, Ginger Baker would be jealous of his drumming !
So glad I saw you lads, can’t wait to see you again when you’r in the area. Perfection !
My sister and I have just watched you perform at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester and you were all MAGNIFICENT! It was the first time we have seen you all but it won’t be the last, after enjoying an absolutely first class show. You are so very talented and we look forward to attending your next show in Worcester. Thank you for a great night in entertainment 5⭐️
Saw you last evening at Windsor Theatre. Brilliant. I saw Mr Hendrix in 1970 at the Isle of Wight and he would have been proud of your performance. Never got to see Mr Clapton or Cream but I do have the DVD of Creams’s farewell concert at RAH in November 1968. Keep it going. Hope you get more gigs. Come back to Windsor and I am sure you will get get people in the audience.
To Peter, John and Andy,
You were outstanding at Bridlington Spa on the 9th Sept. Class musicianship from all coupled with self effacing humour.
You are not what I call a ‘tribute’ band. No wigs, costumes or pastiche. Just three excellent musicians who carry the torch for great rock music of the past but with an added twist that is entirely yours. That’s what makes you special.
Please come back to Brid when you can. We’ll be there!
Regards,
Pat and Tina x
For the second time this year my wife and I saw this great threesome a week ago in East Grinstead. What energy. What skill. What a show. It really is something to see! We are aiming to get to Cranleigh in Janury now!
I saw the ad via Social Media at 16.00 hours today , and thought can’t miss this, so a bit of short notice to get ready from work but, ‘carpe diem’ and I made it to the gig at Knaresborough. So glad that I did! Great song selection and the sound was great through the amps. Thanks, and hope to see you again, and by the way also its not every day you get to meet ‘The God of Hell Fire’!
First time I have seen your band , at Broadstairs on 18 May, 2018 and had a brilliant time, wonderful evocation of my favourite music, with humour and humility, thanks guys so much! Spreading word of mouth and will see you again as soon as I can. Thanks for making my day so special, and loved the informality and relaxed nature of your introductions, always good to learn something new. Stay safe and well and keep those concerts coming!
What a great night at South Molton, you guys were brilliant. Look forward to seeing you in Exeter in November. Got my sister and brother in law to come down from Leicestershire to see you, they loved it. Keep up the good work!
Guys, enjoyed your Totton gig on the 29th March 2018. Great songs well played and very enjoyable. Look forward to seeing you all next time your in the New Forest…
Caught you guys at Legends Gt Yarmouth thought you were brilliant. The V Lounge certainly appreciated every note. As you say no wigs no gimmicks just fantastic musicians enjoying there trade. Thanks guys.
Went to see you at Chippenham on 23rd February. I didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The guitarist was superb and I was glad he didn’t change his appearance to look like Jimi or Jack!. He played excellently and I loved a proper bit of electric guitar at it’s best. The bass guitarist was also quite incredible and I loved his bass solo! Now the one thing I was dreading was a drummer not of the ilk of our Ginger playing Toad! I thought 20 minutes of mediocre drumming would be awful. BUT, he was fantastic and I could have listened to the famous drum solo for another half an hour! Two or three people went to the toilet when this drum solo was being performed – they must be mad and not true devotees of good solid rock music! Fantastic night in a brilliant little venue to be honest! Good when you go to a gig with a bit of a negative and come out with a huge positive! I preferred the Hendrix and Cream stuff but that is because I have gone off Clapton a bit over the years. Cocaine was played superbly though!
Came to see you at Whitstable on Saturday 3rd Feb. REALLY, REALLY enjoyed the show. …Hadn’t seen you perform before and didn’t know what to expect. …Was a little worried that Mr James Marshall Hendrix would be turning in his grave ….but no way!!! ….He would have applauded you guys. Fabulous guitar work Pete and exceptional bass & drums. We sat in the front row and during the break I spoke to Pete briefly about Jimi’s white Fender and that I had been to Seattle to see Jimi’s resting place.
Anyway ….brilliant performance and will look forward to seeing you again. … A rare treat of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream.
Saw Voodoo Room for the first time last night at Coalville (01/12/17) – a fantastic performance !! All the lads are hugely talented but Pete’s superlative guitar playing and vocals (and he was suffering with a sore throat !!!) and enthusiasm was truly awesome. Can’t wait to see them again – come back soon lads !!
We saw Voodoo room at the lyric Carmarthen. Having never seen them before we were blown away by the musicianship of the band. You could imaginen you were listening to the real thing. No fancy gimmicks just superb music. I hope the relatively small crowd won’t stop you coming back. Next time we’ll bring some friends. They will be blown away like us.
Great night in Blackwood on 4 Nov when I was grinning like a Cheshire cat all night. They give you the classic songs but with the added bonus of their added flavour to the mix which is always played with sensitivity and love for the original. Looking forward to seeing them again in Carmarthen on 18 Nov. Why not come along and be another Cheshire cat enjoying the cream. What with Jimi to boot, it’s a no brainer! Hey, how about “If six was nine” this time?
Saw you at the Tunnels in Bristol.
Absolutely fantastic we really enjoyed the concert, The enthusiasm and skill was amazing. could have listened all night.
It was a shame that the venue was full.
Have you thought of trying Stroud Subscription Rooms you would go down there one hell of a treat and it holds about 400 standing.
Went to see Voodoo room at The Whitstable Playhouse on Saturday 11th February, Brilliant night out
Hope to see you back there again soon
Amazing drum solo
Saw Voodoo Room last night 11th February, at The Playhouse, Whitstable, for the first time and was absolutely blown away by the high standard of musicianship!. We would definitely recommend anybody who loves Cream and Hendrix to go along and see them. A brilliant evening.
Just home from The Platform Morecambe. Great show from the guys. They even managed to sound good here. The platform struggles as its very wide and not so deep and a lot of bands can’t seem to get the balance right. Tonight was the best gig there far a good while all praise the sound tech! Excellent gig guys keep on Rocking.
Just been to the Lytham gig. A very impressive show, but knew it would be having seen the guys at Bury Met a couple of years ago. The Lowther is our local theatre, but nearly did not attend as we thought the volume was far to high at Bury, in fact almost painfully so. Not only was the volume spot on at Lytham, but the general sound quality was too. If Voodoo Room keep coming to Lytham, then I will keep going to the shows. I am sure that return visits will draw larger audiences simply through the power of word of mouth.
Fantastic performance at The Century Theatre last night from these three very talented musicians – and modest with it – so refreshing! We went home with ringing in our ears feeling that we’d certainly been ‘experienced’ with a BANG! Great stuff. Keep it going. Can’t wait for our next ‘experience’ (we were dead lucky to win two free tickets). Thanks lads – don’t stop doing what you’re doing – we old ‘uns acknowledge and appreciate real talent when we see (and hear) it!!

Really glad that we made the effort to see you last night at Komedia in Bath.
You guys really kicked some butt. I’ve seen some so-called Hendrix ‘tribute’ bands before but none of them can hold a candle to you lot.
As your publicity says:-
This is definitively NOT a wig wearing, dress up, pantomime style tribute band – rather, it’s simply great music performed by great players of genuine pedigree.
And I can’t argue with any of that.
All the songs you performed were of the highest quality. ‘We’re going wrong’ particularly made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and I think you out-toaded the great Ginger Baker with the drum solo.
A bit peed off that I didn’t win the free tickets to another show but, what the hell, I would gladly pay the going rate to see those songs performed by three guys who carry the spirit of six legends from the sixties.
And using equipment from the period too.
Thank you for a spellbinding evening in Workington. I have loved the music of cream and Hendrix since the sixties but never saw either at the time. This is the nearest I will ever get to their music and songs I have loved and sung along to came alive to perfection. The solo on Toad was wonderful and then my favourite Crossroads followed after. I spoke to the band in the interval who were so friendly and informative. The contact with the audience was so good and I came away feeling alive and back in those days. As I said to the drummer at the end keep going I want to see you again. WOW!
Thank you so much for such a fantastic evening in Shaftesbury last Saturday. Your playing is totally amazing, I couldn’t sit still in my seat! Wish it had been a standing gig, though when I could bare it no longer I did get up and have a dance at the front. I really hope to see you play again soon!
Shaftesbury 31st April 2016 – Blown Away! I am never now going to see Hendix or Cream live and if I did manage to get a ticket it would probably be “ant on a stage”. So 4 rows back and seeing, hearing and smelling 3 consummate musicians play 2 hours plus of Hendix and Cream (and probably sounding better than the originals). Gift your ears a gift and catch these guys near you – you will be delighted !
The night in halifax was excellent and last night at the grand in clitheroe was probably even better. A brilliant venue and a superb sound. Congrats to the band on a top drawer performance.voodoo room are a must for any Hendrix and cream fans, and any live music fans are guaranteed a fantastic evening
Just come back from the Leeds gig. Enjoyed it even better than the Halifax one. Pete’s versions of Little Wing, voodoo child, Hey Joe and Red House superb tonight. Special mention to Tonksy on the drums…brilliant. Keep coming back to Yorkshire lads.
A really great night with Voodoo Room at Mickleton Village Hall County Durham. A bit of an introduction to Hendrix and Cream for me. Loved it, I’m hooked! Very much hoping for a return visit. Fantastic.
We were the late arrivals last night in Halifax, first time a band has waited for me to arrive, and most appreciated because you delivered a top drawer performance. only disappointment was not winning the T shirt !! I’ll be back for another go in Clitheroe . I’ll be spreading the word about how good you guys are and bringing some mates to enjoy some fantastic playing .
I’ve been to a lot of gigs in my time but last night in Halifax you guys really impressed me. The sound from your Strat and Marshall amps was awesome. Been a live Hendrix fan for years and some of the stuff brought tears to my eyes as the sound was so good. Will be there at Halifax again if we are privelidged enough for you to come again and this time I will be with a load of friends who I can’t wait to tell them what I experienced last night. Thanks guys, you deserve all the success that comes your way.
Thanks Ken. It was great to play for you guys last night. I am sure we will be back up in Halifax in the future and it would be great if you could spread the word. Join our mailing list, (if you haven’t already,) and we’ll let you know when we are in the area.
Passing the Congress Theatre in Cwmbran today and saw the Voodoo Room gig poster. This will be right up my street as I loved Cream and Hendrix in the late 60s. Can’t wait for the gig in the middle of January. My all time Cream favourite is Crossroads live from Wheels of Fire. Hope that you play this!
Absolutely world class last night in Enfield!! Look forward to seeing you again. Hendrix and Cream fans, do yourselves a favour and go see Voodoo Room. x

Amazing gig last night at the Hawth crawley , my 2nd time seeing you this year, will be there again next year , , ,any idears when , I think you could do with some big posters out in the foyet , to completely pack it out , , and John , you spoke to me and my son just before you were due to come on
Both of us really enjoyed the brilliant show at Old Town Swindon last night.My husband saw Cream many years ago and thought you were all better! Now that is a compliment.Great night,can’t wait to see you again.
Oh what a night ….Friday 12th May at the newly refurbished Neeld Hall Chippenham. The place was packed and the band delivered an electric set.
You three guys do the music of the late 60’s great justice. Having seen you in Melksham and Bath in the past, we can’t wait until Jan ’24 to catch you at the Komedia… here’s hoping that you can grace the main stage then.
I’ve still got Hendrix songs playing in my head…
Pity you had to leave out White Room ( tired starlings, restless diesels, goodbye-windows) but Badge was a great substitute. Brilliant Bass and Drum solos from Jev and Tonksy, and Pete finger-force to be reckoned with.
Thanks again from Dave and the Lads from Bath.
Brilliant gig at the lovely Century Theatre, Coalville last night to a full house. Every number a winner. Love you guys – thank you for keeping the music of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream alive and live, and bringing it to a younger audience. See you at The Garrick, Lichfield soon. Great night. Thank you.
Great gig tonight. It certainly stopped my Tinnitus screaming for a few hours. Nice to hear the Radio Station I work for breaking through your sound system. Sorry about that.
Brilliant gig tonight at the Cryer in Carshalton (not b…. Surbiton!). You guys have nailed it and that’s no easy task. Well done to all 3 of you and hope to see you again somewhere in South London soon.
Thanks for great evening’s entertainment at Aylesbury last night.
Loved the music and the jokes! Especially brilliant drum solo. Come back soon!
Had a great night at St George’s theatre great Yarmouth. You Guys are awesome. Can’t wait to see you again at the marina theatre Lowestoft in may 🤘🏻
I was front row at the Wimborne. You guys were brilliant. A great set.
3rd March 2023 …Saw them tonight in St.Ives. I’d heard they were good and they didn’t disappoint.It’s not easy to emulate Hendrix and Cream ; an amazing outfit , all superb musicians ; a wonderful night . Hope to see them in Manchester some time .
Fantastic gig at The Tivoli in Wimborne last night. Thank you and I’m looking forward to the next time. Funny thing – I keep on singing that Russ Abbot song, Atmosphere!
Saw you in Peterborough on 9th Feb 2023. Three very accomplished musicians playing Hendix, Cream and Clapton tracks. What a great night, and such nice guys too chatting with people in the interval.
I know I wasn’t alone in curiously purchasing the ‘Tension City Blues’ CD of your original work – so glad I did, I love it!
Listening to the track ‘Shock’ very loudly in the car today!
Wishing you all the very best!
I see the band in Didcot on Saturday night , it’s the best night out i’ve had in ages. Power to you in all aspecs of the show, so professional, obviously well practiced, but grounded with it.
Thank you for rocking Didcot on Saturday evening , absolutely amazing brilliant musician’s .
Worth waiting the three years, following cancellation due to the first lock down.
Thanks as well for playing “Watchtower” I just threw it in when you were changing last number.
Looking to see you again soon.
Chris,
Had the pleasure of seeing these guys in concert in Didcot last night. Very impressed with the amazing quality of the musicians & so enjoyed listening to the great music of Hendrix and Clapton. Looking forward to seeing them again.
Just seen voodoo room at Didcot last night. Three virtuoso musicians. Wow. Much of the music was new to me believe it or not. Now I understand why Hendrix and Clapton were so famous if they could play like these guys. Drums, bass, guitar all a revelation.
Come back soon.
I was spirited back 50 years to the music of my youth. Pete Orr is as good as Hendrix on the guitar, to the point of having a feedback button on his Marshall amp to reproduce those classic sounds never heard before Hendrix invented them. Voodoo Room is a virtuoso band not to be missed for the shear energy of their performance.
Fantastic gig last night at Trading Boundaries! First time I’ve seen you but it won’t be the last.
Was lucky enough to be at key theatre
Peterborough last evening , truly amazing evening 3 hugely talented musicians gave an amazing show certainly heading to see again when in the area , would recommend anyone a gig these guys out on a great show
Just seen you guys at the Key theatre loved the whole experience and such a great rapport with the audience will definitely come to see you again
Very professional band , come together perfectly
All three musicians are heads above everyone else ..
Their set will blow you out of your seats , just bloody brilliant
I have seen y’all twice now and due to see you again in October at Basildon Towngate , can’t wait ..
Amazing, start to finish, full of heart and technical ability.
Keep rocking and spreading the love guys.
Hope to see you in Paignton again 😉
HI Steve. Thanks for your kind words sir. We are back in Paignton on June 2nd Place Theatre. Hopefully see you there! Cheers!
I’ve seen you guys six times now, bought your CD and am constantly checking gif guides to see when you are playing next. I guess that says enough about what I think of you!
The Lemon Tree Aberdeen
Nov 2022
Absolutely amazing….. such a treat to hear this music live! Second time we’ve been & can not wait till the next one!!! Honestly were the best gigs in a very long time.
Saw you at the Wharf Tavistock on the 14th Jan ,(3rd or 4th time I think)
Fantastic set , band gets better each time I see you!
Come back soon! xxx
We can’t wait to see you again at The George Theatre in GY! We enjoy your amazing talents every time we watch you guys.
The definition of go hard or go home. The entire band have phenomenal musical talent and a connection to their instruments. As a voodoo virgin, I cannot wait to see them again!
Brilliant concert at Acapela, Pentyrch , Cardiff last night (13 Jan 2023). Great musicians in a great venue. I heard a number of people ask the Programme Director to bring you back soon. I bought the dvd and your album of originals. The cd is excellent. Look forward to seeing you again.
amazing gig tonight in Bungay , we had a wonderful night listening to these guys who are just such awesome musicians
Hey Guys….We bought your phenomenal album Tension City Blues at Medina gig IOW a couple of weeks back – absolutely brilliant!!!
We’d really love to see you perform this material live too!
Hope enough of us request this 🤪
What an absolutely amazing night. Fantastic musicianship. Great humour and great integration between the band members. You can tell that they love to jam together. Worth every penny we spent on our tickets. Saw these guys live at backstage Kinross an intimate venue and boy will be treated to the most fantastic night. The creativity and their engagement with the audience was simply fantastic. Solo playing was amazing as was the trio playing together. Thanks guys for an absolutely brilliant gig I can recommend you guys to absolutely everybody. Get your tickets and get along to one of their gigs they are brilliant.
And guys thanks for sense of humour ref “Magic Roundabout”. I thought it was a bit of fun and a kick back to an era of our generation. You were all amazing!!!!!!!
These guy’s are the real deal. Musically something else and a real pleasure to talk to as a band off stage with an unpretentious attitude that some bands have. It was so good to interview Pete who I have met before on my show on Radio Caroline Flashback ahead of there gig where he kindly invited me to attend there gig as a guest. Do check this band out !
Tony Christian
Radio Caroline Flashback.
I saw the show in Basildon last night. I wasn’t expecting much. It was terrific. A great performance. The music was played with real passion. An absolute treat. You need to see Voodoo Room!
2022 Mirren Studio Towngate Basildon.
5th or 6th time of seeing the band. Had a great night. Bought the Tension City Blues CD which all three musicians signed, thanks.
Noticed that the Bass is credited to Andy Tolman. I believe Andy left the band around 2015. The CD is dated 2020 and the front cover appears to show Jevon on Bass.
I haven’t heard a better first Blues CD since we saw Larry Miller for the first time. Definitely a powerful force that should be played on Planet Rock and other good music stations.
See VOODOO ROOM first chance you get. If you like their sounds you’ll be hooked for life on them. Super live show.
Bloody hell, what a fabulous night at Silsden Town Hall. You guys were awesome!
Even without winning a free pair of tickets I will definitely be seeing you in the future.
You were a real treat to watch on Thursday at The Elgiva. Totally rock and roll – mind boggling talent; energetic radiance. You showed such skilful balance in capturing raw essence of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream whilst also letting your inner musicality take a shining focus. AWESOME and jaw-dropping in parts, particularly when you as individuals really took your instruments on a journey.
Thanks for a wonderful evening. Best of luck to you and hope to see you very soon indeed ❤
Fabulous show in Melksham last night, such talented musicians, great chat between the songs and those solos were amazing!! I bought a tee shirt too !!
Amazing gig tonight in Melksham. Hurry back!!
Just back from date night with hubbie at St. Georges theatre Gt. Yarmouth ( beautiful theatre)
Wow what a show. Thank you so much. Didnt think it would be my thing, but I really enjoyed it. Especially, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, the drum solo!!!!!Amazing throughout. Richards looking to book when youre next near us . Nov in Bungay. xx
Saw these guys perform last night at Quay Arts on the Isle of Wight. They were absolutely incredible, cant wait to meet Pete and the guys again.
18th Feb – Enjoyed it all other than the “solos” near the end, given the very late hour as well these were just too much. However the volume was too high (fine at first until turned up) and risks hearing loss in small venues.
Hi James. Thank you for your comment.
We will certainly keep an eye on things for the future.
Hope to see you again.
All the best
Great gig in Leeds on Friday guys. My VR cherry well and truly popped. Come back soon.
Also loving the Tension City Blues album and would definitely come see you do your original material live.
Pete, since you’ve been good enough to share your music here’s a link to one of my albums. (That’s me on backing vocals!)

Hi Greg, I was at the gig (the Roundhouse, Hawkwind), what a night.
Friday 11th Feb – Seven Arts Leeds
Fantastic set from Voodoo Room. Lived up to all my expectations., really good musicians playing classics with “the gusto they deserve”. Well deserved standing ovation after 2 hours of great entertainment.
Saw this terrific band at the Mill in Banbury…….hope they come back and perform here again soon! Very talented musicians playing all my favourites: the great Jimmi Hendrix, Cream, Spencer Davis and more. Haven’t been to such a great gig in a long time. Bought a couple of their cd’s which are awesome. Definately a FAN off these guys, go see them live you will be blown away for sure 🙂
I attended the cranleigh gig on Saturday 30th October expecting a competent tribute band but that thought was blown away in the first 10 minutes!! They were exceptional and sitting in the crowd of mostly older aficionados of jimi and Eric’s music they were accorded two standing ovations at the end. Fantastic! I saw jimi and cream in the 60s and if I closed my eyes, I was back there!! Will definitely see them again.
Superb last night in Cranleigh Art Centre. Come back again soonest!
We went to see voodoo room last night at the mill in Banbury. WOW, what a night. We are still talking about the show. Absolutely brilliant. We apologise to all 3 guys for not coming out to see you sooner. What a knock out show. Anyone looking for value for money and a proper band, man you won’t find better. I am trying not to use swear words. Go and see this band and you will understand. Everyone we have spoken to who have asked us what we thought about voodoo room we have told them book tickets. B R I L L I A N T. Thank you guys, Tommy & Jane Carroll. Oxford.
Saw the band for the first time last night at Banbury and it was an awesome performance by all three band members.
Will definitely catch them again and wear my t-shirt with pride!
Well done guys for keeping the music of bygone years alive and kicking
Just watched the band in Deal Kent on 22nd October
Fantastic evening , you guys were so good , very impressed . Hopefully you will be back in Deal .Highly recommend them – superb musicians and very tight , also seem good guys
Brilliant gig at Swindon Arts Centre last night. It took me back to my youth, lying under my car fixing a gear box and listing to Cream on the John Peel show. Those were the days!
Great night seeing this talented band in Swindon, every member a great musician & did there own solo.
Would recommend any music lovers to see them, once again thanks for a great night Voodoo Room.
Blimey, what a cracking set from Voodoo Room! Exquisite musicianship fellas, thanks very much indeed. Only sorry we got caught up in ‘Crosstown Traffic’ and missed the opening 3 numbers!!! By some way the best night I’ve ever had in Swindon! Will defo be checking you out again sometime soon.
Thank you guys for a brilliant gig at The Wharf, Tavistock, Devon on Friday 15th October 2021. Blown away by your excellent musicianship, your great choice of numbers from the featured artist’s extensive back catalogue and your enjoyable stage presence. It was great to chat to you after the gig too when you were very generous with your time after you had worked so hard! Please come back to Tavistock next year!
Fantastic performance at Bridgwater Arts Centre on 16th Oct. 2021 – 3 exceptional musicians, 1 exceptional band!
Amazing performance last night in Tavistock. A breathtaking performance by 3 of the most talented musicians today. I could not recommend you guys enough to any true music connoisseur, can’t wait to see you again!
great gig at macarts gala last night
I’m still buzzing from it, and I look forward to seeing you again
great baker-esque solo, john
Saw the band last year in st ives Cornwall, have seen you before in Eastbourne and Chichester,great shows you get inside those bands and there music in an impressive way,also reccomend tension city blues very together and tight,
Hi Rod. Thanks for the kind words sir!
Hopefully we will be able to do some live shows at some point this year.
We are very happy you like the new album.
All the best for 2021
VR
I’m total Hendrix but saw voodoo room play in art center Gainsborough twice awesome shut ur eyes its Hendrix and Clapton bought DVD can’t wait to see them again
Hi Dawn. Thank you so much for the lovely review. We hope to see you when we can start gigging again.
Stay well.
Saw Voodoo Room Saturday Night at the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks. They were Brilliant. Very accomplished musicians. If you get the chance to go and see them, I would certainly recommend you get your ticket for a great night out.
Thanks Gentlemen.
I saw this awesome band in Neath last night , I was blown away by them , superb musicianship, and friendly guys too , I really want to see this band again, every member was a master of his craft , which is rare these days. hard rock done right – whats not to like !
Saturday’s gig – Voodoo Room at The Elgiva. Classic 3 piece – guitar, drums and bass. 2 stacks, a few pedals and a kit. They used the theatre sound and lighting rigs. Sound basically OK, but lighting had a major fail 3 numbers in. Blackout – and when the rig crawled back into action an obvious DMX fail – no varilites. Thankfully sorted during the interval…
So – about the music. The key here (given what they’re covering) – is can the guitarist do Hendrix and Clapton and the drummer do Ginger Baker? The answer – a resounding Yes! Voodoo Chile, All Along The Watchtower, Layla – excellent. And the drummer did an ‘in style’ solo in memory of Ginger. They also benefited from a talented bass player.
Thoroughly recommended if they come near you…
Just seen you at The Elgiva, Chesham – absolutely superb musicianship, I don’t know how you achieve it, I guess hours of practice and the love of doing it.
Really enjoyed myself (although my wife was not keen on coming – too loud for her) !
Thanks once again, hope to see you another time.
I saw Voodoo Room last night in Aberdeen. What a totally brilliant gig. These guys played relentlessly for nearly three hours – amazing musicians, amazing sound and totally amazing flawless set. They had everybody rockin’ in the superb intimate venue of The Lemon Tree. I have never enjoyed a gig so much. All the Cream hits and even Toad too. Yes, Toad – awesome drumming. I loved Cream, but never had the opportunity to see them – my mum thought 11 was a bit young and they never came to Elgin anyway. The 50 year wait was so worthwhile. Thank you all!
Great gig at Peterborough Key theatre on 19th Sept 2019. Fabulous playing for well over 2 hours. John Tonks also had time for us in the bar afterwards to talk music. You can’t see Hendrix, you can’t see Cream anymore and you’re lucky if you get to see Clapton, but fear not, this really is the next best thing. Get yourself to a gig soon, you won’t regret it!
Saw you guys in Torrington last night – for the second time – and you did not disappoint. I think the endearing memory will be your rendition of “3rd Stone From the Sun”, which you really nailed. Superb! As you said last night, it’s a challenging piece which really highlights the musicianship of lead, bass and drums. So pleased that you took it on as we don’t hear it anywhere near enough on mainstream media. I remember back in the day, some pop band stole the riff and went unchallenged over the whole time the tune was being played on the radio. I was livid! Anyway. Thanks so much for your brilliant session last night. My wife and I went home so happy. P.S. We also loved your “Toad – the extended version”!
Great show at East Grinstead last night. Definitely will see these guys again.
Saw Voodoo Room in Stafford on 17th May. What a truly fantastic band. An extremely talented and entertaining trio! Jevon is possibly one of the best bass players I’ve seen/heard and I’ve seen a good few over the years. A brilliantly tight performance frim all three guys. Please tell me you’ll be back in Stafford soon.
Hi guys. Came to see you play at The Broadway, in Barking. You guys were awesome. Brilliant musicianship. As good, if not better than the original bands. Was totally blown away. Can’t wait to see you guys again. SUPERB.
Saw Voodoo Room at the Mercury Theatre last night. Wasn’t really sure what to expect as I’m not particularly a Hendrix, Cream or Clapton fan but do enjoy a good live gig. Well I certainly got that and a whole lot more, these guys are superb musicians. They were on stage for nearly three hours and played all the Hendrix, Cream & Clapton classics. They look like they really enjoy what they are doing and certainly provide a great evening of entertainment for the audience.
If you get the chance to see Voodoo Room, grab it, you won’t regret it.
Thank you ! 🙂 X
Just spent fantastic evening watching these guys perform magic. Terrific musicians , wouldn’t hesitate in seeing them again .
Thank you so much 🙂 Our pleasure x
We saw Voodoo Room for the first time last night at the Good Intent in Petersfield and had travelled from Basingstoke to see them.
A very cosy venue but what a performance. I have been a Hendrix/Cream Clapton admirer for many years and was totally blown away by the musicianship of these guys. It was like a masterclass in how to play and I can’t wait to see them again wherever the venue. Inspiring!!!! Thanks for such a great performance guys.
Well What a Gig, a crowd of us saw Voodoo Room for the 2nd time at the Bath Komedia last Thursday, they were superb… Being of an age when I bought Hendrix & Cream 1st time around on vinyl it was great to not only hear some favourites but also to be close enough to appreciate the great musician ship of the band.
It is fitting that V.R. play Bath as both Jimi Hendrix and Cream played our famous old Rock venue The Pavilion back in the 60s.
On the night we were treated to a fantastic drum solo by the stand-in drummer who was great, to some fantastic bass playing that Jack Bruce & Noel Redding would have been proud of, and what accolades can we give Pete Orr , probably magic is best for the note perfect sounds he produces…
The evening was rounded off with ‘Happy Birthday’ sung to Jeavon ~ Mr Bassman. We will be rounding up the troops to make sure that the band play the main stage at the Komedia next time they are in Bath.

Just recovering from the gig on the IOWight last night. To say that I was impressed would be a massive understatement. I really had my doubts that a group could get away with covering Hendricks and Cream, but I was wrong. So so wrong . The superlatives escape me awesome is as near as I can get.
IOW audiences are hard to please and polite applause is the Norm. Not so last night if the band were not trying to get on a ferry back to the “North Island” they might still be playing encores.
I will try to get to the next Southampton Gig .Ferry times permitting.
The only thing not like the originals was the lack of Agro between Bass and Drums. Seeing Jack and Ginger back in the mid 60’s the drum solo would often end with Jack kicking over a high hat and Ginger throwing his sticks if not fists at Jack. The crowd loved it. Good old fashion Rock n Roll.
Thanks again for a great nights nostalgia or was it neuralgia?
Well what a band, 2nd time I have seen them at Bath Komedia. Grew up buying Hendrix and Cream Vinyl 1st time around, and both bands played the local Bath Pavilion back in the day… Cream 21 Nov 1966, Hendrix 20 Feb 1967 so for Voodoo Room to play Bath is a great treat to us old rockers.
Thoroughly enjoyable gig last night, great musicianship, Top Drummer and awesome solo, Mr Bassman ‘ Happy Birthday to you’ Jack Bruce & Noel Redding would be very impressed.
Mr Orr just keep on rocking mate! We must get you on the big stage at the Komedia next time, we’ll make sure the word gets around, and try and pack the place.
many thanks Davie B ~ Bath
Amazing special evening of nostalgia with 3 highly accomplished musicians delivering as near perfect sounds to the originals as possible. Stunning guitar work and probably the best drum solo I’ve ever heard. Best night out since 26th November 1968 at the Albert Hall! Many thanks.
Saw these guys at Cranleigh last night. As a lifelong fan of Hendrix, Cream and Clapton I was wondering how they would do justice to such icons. I needn’t have worried they were absolutely superb. Each member of the band excelled and as another person commented there were no gimmicks or silly fancy dress just superb musicianship. At the end of well over two hours they deservedly had a standing ovation from the entire audience. If you love Cream and Hendrix make sure you see these guys in 2019.
Absolutely fabulous concert at the Astor in Deal this evening. How three muscisians can produce such superb sound is beyond me. Each muscician was excellent in their own right. The lead guitarist/singer blew my mind, The bass guitarist was as good as thunder fingers and the drummer was awesome., Tne drummer’s ten minuute solo (or however long it was!) was the most accomplished drum solo I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. Very well done guys. Sorry you had to drive home – I still owe you a pint! Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Excellent performance at Livingston last night ( 18/10/2018 ). No phoney costumes, look-alikes or gimmicks, just authentic sounds of Hendrix and Cream. Highlight of the show was an incredible drum solo performed by Mr Tonks, how he kept that solo pace up for so long was incredible!
Saw the band last night at Kinross.
They were great, over two hours of Classic rock, and it’s obvious the band love the music of that era.
Not many 3 piece bands would tackle Layla, but it had the power and passion of the original.
Pete Orr’s [ got to have Scottish roots with a name like Orr ] mastery of the strat
was something to see, all the Hendrix licks and runs played to perfection plus the subtle
chordwork that people forget Hendrix excelled at, Pete’s intro to Little Wing was note perfect .
Thanks guys , hope to see you again soon, and I expect you to learn Born Under a Bad Sign and
Sleepy Time Time.
When I saw Voodoo Room on a flyer at St Georges Theatre in Great Yarmouth, I was in two minds whether to go or not. After a lot of shall I, shan’t I, on the day before the gig I decided to go. Luckily I managed to get a ticket. What a good job I did.
It was a great night, I’ve never seen Hendrix before, but it was just like I imagined a gig. However I have seen and met Cream two times at the old Floral Hall in nearby Gorleston in the ’60s. I was just like the real thing. Pete has Clapton off to a tee, Andy is just brilliant and as for John, Ginger Baker would be jealous of his drumming !
So glad I saw you lads, can’t wait to see you again when you’r in the area. Perfection !
My sister and I have just watched you perform at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester and you were all MAGNIFICENT! It was the first time we have seen you all but it won’t be the last, after enjoying an absolutely first class show. You are so very talented and we look forward to attending your next show in Worcester. Thank you for a great night in entertainment 5⭐️
Saw you in Penzance last saturday with Jevon Beaumont on bass, great evening, hope you can come back again soon!
Saw you last evening at Windsor Theatre. Brilliant. I saw Mr Hendrix in 1970 at the Isle of Wight and he would have been proud of your performance. Never got to see Mr Clapton or Cream but I do have the DVD of Creams’s farewell concert at RAH in November 1968. Keep it going. Hope you get more gigs. Come back to Windsor and I am sure you will get get people in the audience.
To Peter, John and Andy,
You were outstanding at Bridlington Spa on the 9th Sept. Class musicianship from all coupled with self effacing humour.
You are not what I call a ‘tribute’ band. No wigs, costumes or pastiche. Just three excellent musicians who carry the torch for great rock music of the past but with an added twist that is entirely yours. That’s what makes you special.
Please come back to Brid when you can. We’ll be there!
Regards,
Pat and Tina x
For the second time this year my wife and I saw this great threesome a week ago in East Grinstead. What energy. What skill. What a show. It really is something to see! We are aiming to get to Cranleigh in Janury now!
I saw the ad via Social Media at 16.00 hours today , and thought can’t miss this, so a bit of short notice to get ready from work but, ‘carpe diem’ and I made it to the gig at Knaresborough. So glad that I did! Great song selection and the sound was great through the amps. Thanks, and hope to see you again, and by the way also its not every day you get to meet ‘The God of Hell Fire’!
First time I have seen your band , at Broadstairs on 18 May, 2018 and had a brilliant time, wonderful evocation of my favourite music, with humour and humility, thanks guys so much! Spreading word of mouth and will see you again as soon as I can. Thanks for making my day so special, and loved the informality and relaxed nature of your introductions, always good to learn something new. Stay safe and well and keep those concerts coming!
What a great night at South Molton, you guys were brilliant. Look forward to seeing you in Exeter in November. Got my sister and brother in law to come down from Leicestershire to see you, they loved it. Keep up the good work!
I have seen a lot of live bands over many years and can quite honestly say that
This trio are in the top ranking . Amazing musicians.
Guys, enjoyed your Totton gig on the 29th March 2018. Great songs well played and very enjoyable. Look forward to seeing you all next time your in the New Forest…
Caught you guys at Legends Gt Yarmouth thought you were brilliant. The V Lounge certainly appreciated every note. As you say no wigs no gimmicks just fantastic musicians enjoying there trade. Thanks guys.
Went to see you at Chippenham on 23rd February. I didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The guitarist was superb and I was glad he didn’t change his appearance to look like Jimi or Jack!. He played excellently and I loved a proper bit of electric guitar at it’s best. The bass guitarist was also quite incredible and I loved his bass solo! Now the one thing I was dreading was a drummer not of the ilk of our Ginger playing Toad! I thought 20 minutes of mediocre drumming would be awful. BUT, he was fantastic and I could have listened to the famous drum solo for another half an hour! Two or three people went to the toilet when this drum solo was being performed – they must be mad and not true devotees of good solid rock music! Fantastic night in a brilliant little venue to be honest! Good when you go to a gig with a bit of a negative and come out with a huge positive! I preferred the Hendrix and Cream stuff but that is because I have gone off Clapton a bit over the years. Cocaine was played superbly though!
Came to see you at Whitstable on Saturday 3rd Feb. REALLY, REALLY enjoyed the show. …Hadn’t seen you perform before and didn’t know what to expect. …Was a little worried that Mr James Marshall Hendrix would be turning in his grave ….but no way!!! ….He would have applauded you guys. Fabulous guitar work Pete and exceptional bass & drums. We sat in the front row and during the break I spoke to Pete briefly about Jimi’s white Fender and that I had been to Seattle to see Jimi’s resting place.
Anyway ….brilliant performance and will look forward to seeing you again. … A rare treat of Hendrix, Clapton and Cream.

Check this out!
Any chance of playing this at the Luton Library gig 2018?
Saw Voodoo Room for the first time last night at Coalville (01/12/17) – a fantastic performance !! All the lads are hugely talented but Pete’s superlative guitar playing and vocals (and he was suffering with a sore throat !!!) and enthusiasm was truly awesome. Can’t wait to see them again – come back soon lads !!
We saw Voodoo room at the lyric Carmarthen. Having never seen them before we were blown away by the musicianship of the band. You could imaginen you were listening to the real thing. No fancy gimmicks just superb music. I hope the relatively small crowd won’t stop you coming back. Next time we’ll bring some friends. They will be blown away like us.
Great night in Blackwood on 4 Nov when I was grinning like a Cheshire cat all night. They give you the classic songs but with the added bonus of their added flavour to the mix which is always played with sensitivity and love for the original. Looking forward to seeing them again in Carmarthen on 18 Nov. Why not come along and be another Cheshire cat enjoying the cream. What with Jimi to boot, it’s a no brainer! Hey, how about “If six was nine” this time?
Sorry last comment should have said shame the venue was not full. Sorry.
Saw you at the Tunnels in Bristol.
Absolutely fantastic we really enjoyed the concert, The enthusiasm and skill was amazing. could have listened all night.
It was a shame that the venue was full.
Have you thought of trying Stroud Subscription Rooms you would go down there one hell of a treat and it holds about 400 standing.
Fantastic musicians trio, great loud live authentic sound of cover songs of Hendrix and Cream ! Saw you at the The Tunnels in Bristol. Thank you
Like the T-shirt and CD!!
Went to see Voodoo room at The Whitstable Playhouse on Saturday 11th February, Brilliant night out
Hope to see you back there again soon
Amazing drum solo
Saw Voodoo Room last night 11th February, at The Playhouse, Whitstable, for the first time and was absolutely blown away by the high standard of musicianship!. We would definitely recommend anybody who loves Cream and Hendrix to go along and see them. A brilliant evening.
Sat 4th Feb 2017 Morecambe, The Platform
Fantastic performance last night. The first time I have seen the band and hopefully not the last.
Just home from The Platform Morecambe. Great show from the guys. They even managed to sound good here. The platform struggles as its very wide and not so deep and a lot of bands can’t seem to get the balance right. Tonight was the best gig there far a good while all praise the sound tech! Excellent gig guys keep on Rocking.
Just been to the Lytham gig. A very impressive show, but knew it would be having seen the guys at Bury Met a couple of years ago. The Lowther is our local theatre, but nearly did not attend as we thought the volume was far to high at Bury, in fact almost painfully so. Not only was the volume spot on at Lytham, but the general sound quality was too. If Voodoo Room keep coming to Lytham, then I will keep going to the shows. I am sure that return visits will draw larger audiences simply through the power of word of mouth.
Fantastic performance at The Century Theatre last night from these three very talented musicians – and modest with it – so refreshing! We went home with ringing in our ears feeling that we’d certainly been ‘experienced’ with a BANG! Great stuff. Keep it going. Can’t wait for our next ‘experience’ (we were dead lucky to win two free tickets). Thanks lads – don’t stop doing what you’re doing – we old ‘uns acknowledge and appreciate real talent when we see (and hear) it!!

Please come back to Coalville when its bit warmer, toes still froze but a great night, thanks guys
Spent the evening at the hawth watching voodoo room last night a brilliant evening well worth going to see look forward to seeing them again
That was an outstanding performance last Friday in Bridgwater Arts Centre. Thanks for a wonderful evening.
Really glad that we made the effort to see you last night at Komedia in Bath.
You guys really kicked some butt. I’ve seen some so-called Hendrix ‘tribute’ bands before but none of them can hold a candle to you lot.
As your publicity says:-
This is definitively NOT a wig wearing, dress up, pantomime style tribute band – rather, it’s simply great music performed by great players of genuine pedigree.
And I can’t argue with any of that.
All the songs you performed were of the highest quality. ‘We’re going wrong’ particularly made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and I think you out-toaded the great Ginger Baker with the drum solo.
A bit peed off that I didn’t win the free tickets to another show but, what the hell, I would gladly pay the going rate to see those songs performed by three guys who carry the spirit of six legends from the sixties.
And using equipment from the period too.
In the words of the great man….
“Rave on.”
Thank you for a spellbinding evening in Workington. I have loved the music of cream and Hendrix since the sixties but never saw either at the time. This is the nearest I will ever get to their music and songs I have loved and sung along to came alive to perfection. The solo on Toad was wonderful and then my favourite Crossroads followed after. I spoke to the band in the interval who were so friendly and informative. The contact with the audience was so good and I came away feeling alive and back in those days. As I said to the drummer at the end keep going I want to see you again. WOW!
Thank you so much for such a fantastic evening in Shaftesbury last Saturday. Your playing is totally amazing, I couldn’t sit still in my seat! Wish it had been a standing gig, though when I could bare it no longer I did get up and have a dance at the front. I really hope to see you play again soon!
Shaftesbury 31st April 2016 – Blown Away! I am never now going to see Hendix or Cream live and if I did manage to get a ticket it would probably be “ant on a stage”. So 4 rows back and seeing, hearing and smelling 3 consummate musicians play 2 hours plus of Hendix and Cream (and probably sounding better than the originals). Gift your ears a gift and catch these guys near you – you will be delighted !
The night in halifax was excellent and last night at the grand in clitheroe was probably even better. A brilliant venue and a superb sound. Congrats to the band on a top drawer performance.voodoo room are a must for any Hendrix and cream fans, and any live music fans are guaranteed a fantastic evening
Thank you for a fantastic set at Horsebridge Centre, Whitstable tonight. My ears are still pleasantly ringing 🙂
So sorry Pete, it was you on the drums not John Tonks. You were brilliant.
Just come back from the Leeds gig. Enjoyed it even better than the Halifax one. Pete’s versions of Little Wing, voodoo child, Hey Joe and Red House superb tonight. Special mention to Tonksy on the drums…brilliant. Keep coming back to Yorkshire lads.

Thank you for a fantastic night of quality music at The Platform in Morecambe last night. Please come back soon.
So impressed with you all in Halifax recently that I’m coming with 6 friends to your Leeds gig on the 20th Feb. Can’t wait.
Regards
Ken
A really great night with Voodoo Room at Mickleton Village Hall County Durham. A bit of an introduction to Hendrix and Cream for me. Loved it, I’m hooked! Very much hoping for a return visit. Fantastic.
We were the late arrivals last night in Halifax, first time a band has waited for me to arrive, and most appreciated because you delivered a top drawer performance. only disappointment was not winning the T shirt !! I’ll be back for another go in Clitheroe . I’ll be spreading the word about how good you guys are and bringing some mates to enjoy some fantastic playing .
I’ve been to a lot of gigs in my time but last night in Halifax you guys really impressed me. The sound from your Strat and Marshall amps was awesome. Been a live Hendrix fan for years and some of the stuff brought tears to my eyes as the sound was so good. Will be there at Halifax again if we are privelidged enough for you to come again and this time I will be with a load of friends who I can’t wait to tell them what I experienced last night. Thanks guys, you deserve all the success that comes your way.
Kind regards
Ken
Thanks Ken. It was great to play for you guys last night. I am sure we will be back up in Halifax in the future and it would be great if you could spread the word. Join our mailing list, (if you haven’t already,) and we’ll let you know when we are in the area.
Cheers
Andy, Pete and Tonksy
Passing the Congress Theatre in Cwmbran today and saw the Voodoo Room gig poster. This will be right up my street as I loved Cream and Hendrix in the late 60s. Can’t wait for the gig in the middle of January. My all time Cream favourite is Crossroads live from Wheels of Fire. Hope that you play this!
I am sure crossroads will be making an appearance during the gig. Looking forward to seeing you there.
great gig last night in exeter, cheers
Great gig last night at Hanger Farm. Will be seeing you again at the Brook next year.
Absolutely world class last night in Enfield!! Look forward to seeing you again. Hendrix and Cream fans, do yourselves a favour and go see Voodoo Room. x
