(... we haven't had time to get very much together yet, but here are a few starters...)



Alan McGee (founder, Creation Records / Oasis / The Libertines / The Jesus and Mary Chain) - “... You were amazing… an amazing band, in case you forgot you won… am going to big you up big time… KGB Slideshow played, they were so uncontrived and they naturally had it. But they only had three songs - they were like X-Ray Spex. It was their first ever show, ever and they won. KGB Slideshow will actually make it. KGB Slideshow, just had it, and I know when a band has got it. They will be signed, and make it big…"



Dave Draper (producer/engineer, The Panic Room, Evesham) - “… A true talent – awesome...”



Nina Lyon (@ The Globe, Hay on Wye) - "... Very big congrats to winners KGB Slideshow who, despite only having existed as a band for a few days or something prior to their set, put in two performances noteworthy both for their brilliance and sheer mentalness..."



Chris Bennion (co-director, Worcester Music Festival) - “… “Art Student (With The Terry Wogan Hair)” has to be one of the best song titles ever. KGB Slideshow are pretty damn good…”


Peter Richard Adams (Lost Boy Scout) - “… The gig tonight… everything was perfect. During “Post Modernist Literature” I knew what it was like to be at that Pistols gig at Free Trade Hall. Usually I just smile inanely at gigs. Tonight my blank face represented both shock and awe. I knew you’d be good. Possibly the best thing I’ve heard since first hearing Art Brut…”
