"Flashback To The 80s were fab. They interacted and joined in brilliantly with the party atmosphere."

I watched this band on Saturday night at the Jolly Sailor Pub in Bristol and was truly amazed. They played, sounded and looked fantastic!! Not your average Tribute band, they were well above the standard. They are great blokes (including the Road crew) and they were happy to talk to us after the show and pose for pictures etc.
