āOne of the most overlooked highlights was tucked away in the Old Oak, where Dutch group The Busquitos showcased their energetic and highly eccentric style of comedic jazz ā jumping into the crowd at every opportunity, kidnapping spectators and staging mock weddings."Examinator (IE) - Kelly O'Brain
"a wonderfully talented quartet, to combine all that musicianship with a good dose of humor is a rare combination."Dougall Jeffries - Tolmen Centre, Constantine (UK)
"Fantastic band. Brilliant audience interaction, brilliant musicianship, and one of the few acts I've found that can put authentic jazz music in a context that even people who don't listen to jazz will enjoy. 10/10 Probably the best band I saw last year, and probably the best I'll see this year.āPaul Bowley, Coalville, (UK)

āA crazy groupāā¦ āBars and keys changed at a monkey pace that left the listener speechlessāā¦ Jelle van Tongeren turned out to be a devilish violinistāā¦Ronald de Jong sang with a grave voice as the oceans of cheap booze. The whole thing is that one of the most oppressive contacts is: we are advanced, we notice that we are very quick and intensely active.ā....āWhen Thomas Streutgers soloed on the saxophone, he began to express in a spectacular, elementary way. āā¦ Michael Seraus works with his fast-paced style, with his collaborators in front of himāā¦.Frankfurter Zeitung - Walter Frank (D)
