Dennis Locorriere 'Live in Liverpool'
2 CD Set Plus DVD Interview Disc

For the first time I brought my daughter to see Dennis. She was transfixed - just like her Mum! Thank you Dennis for allowing us both to spend a wonderful evening with you

My sixth time i have seen you,and i thought you looked younger,sang even better,but i must add im just a 63 year old groupie and unashamedly biased.Playing your dvd now and cd next for the sumthink time,love the new ,love the old cant wait till the next time, thank you for the pleasure you have given me over the years and may you continue, yours faithfully brian stokes.

Saw the concert last night 18 Feb and as usual Dennis was brilliant. Two encores were much appreciated. Have only seen him previously at the Robin in Bilston (many times)so it was a different experience having to sit still (relatively)and join in the singing nicely rather than the raucous noise we usually make.My 21 year old daughter now comes along as is a converted fan. Can't wait for next opportunity to see him. Great stuff! Linda

I saw the first time Dennis locerriere in concert and was swept of my feet..he song one song what realy touch me deeply and I can't find it anywhere...can you please help me...the song is ..I don't want to be alone tonight.. I would greatly appriciate it...

AJ White James Hay Theatre, Christchurch, New Zealand

hey i loved the show (even though i was forced to go) it was 1 of the best concerts ive seen and ive seen allmost all that has been to town in the past few years. keep doing what ya do cause your music is awsome

Laura Hamilton, New Zealand 2005

Thank you Dennis for touring New Zealand! It was wonderful to see you live in concert. I'm a huge fan of Dr Hook and love your solo work. It was a fantastic night and your performance was amazing. Also, thank you for signing my cd / dvd at the end of the show! Take care, Laura Hamilton, New Zealand

Niko Goulter Auckland Show November 6 2005

What can I say? A friend and I were so excited that Dennis had come back to NZ!! We were so dissapointed that we had missed him a couple of years before. His show was EXCELLENT!! Dennis has so much talent, involving the crowd, telling stories, cracking jokes......and then on top of that you get the pleasure of listening to that distinctive, soulful and powerful voice!! My friend is 19 and I am 25, and we both totally loved that show!! We both agreed that the talent Dennis has outshines any performer of our generation. Thanks Dennis for a wonderful show, and come back soon!! P.S 'Guess again' on One of the Lucky ones, is awesome!!

Viv Nesbitt Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington, NZ

Dennis Locorriere is an amazing performer. He has amazing stamina, a fantatic range to his voice and man does he play a mean guitar! He sang a few of the old Dr Hook favourites and many of his newer material, which I was not familiar with. The audience were behind him all the way and there was lots of cheering, whooping and singing along. I've been a fan since Sylvia's Mother was released in the 70s. The concert was amazing and a great night was had by all. Not forgetting also that he still has that gorgeous smile, infectious laugh and is a genuinely nice guy. Come back soon, Dennis.

Lorraine Christchurch NewZealand

wow went to the show last night (28/10/05) and I laughed (who needs Billy Connelly) and cryed (loved Son shine and the song about being under the same moon).I am a habitual concert attender (I think I just made that word up?) and this guy has an ease and a connection with the mike/guitar/audience and himself that blew the so called "super stars" i have seen out of the water. Awesome worth every cent.

Jane and Di Ellis Christchurch, NZ Oct 2005

Dear Dennis, Thank you once again for an awesome evening. We also saw you when you visited NZ in 2003 (on your birthday!)...and we could never tire of listening to you. You have an amazing talent and so many wonderful songs. We will look forward to your next visit here. We only wish you could have stayed on stage longer!! Thank you! Janey and Di xx

Thoroughly enjoyed the show, didn't want it to end. Only found out day before show that you were appearing so madly booked tickets and we were not disappointed.

Bill Hellegers Star City Showroom, Sydney, Australia

Dennis put on a great show for the decent crowd. Played some of the Dr Hook classics such as Sylvias Mother and A Little Bit More and also played some of his solo songs. A great show that I recommend highly. Well done Dennis. Bill from Australia

alicia nelson dow rothes hall glenrothes

I have followed dennis for years going to concert with my boyfriend who became my husband for 25 years. My daughter was brought up on dr hook and has follwed dennis too. When i seperated she took the place of her dad, holding my hand during all the sad songs that meant so much. Any way this year i have moved to scotland. She went with her dad to the concert in Tamworth, and phoned me when dennis played you have the right to walk away. I cried. I then saw Dennis in Glenrothes taking along my cousin her husband and a friend to see my hero. I was like a little schoolgirl shouting on stage to dennis. My frends were so impressed and really love his music even more now, Shine son is a favorite to them....the best bit of the night was when i got dennis autograph and giving him a kiss I was on a high for weeks....and get what i sent my very jealous daughter ..yes a photo of it all on her phone..... My daughter and I have said we will never see dennis again alone always togerther thank you dennis for that very special bond my daughter and I have .....YOU Alicia in Glenrothes and Jodie in Tamworth

Glenn Seddon Warrington, Parr Hall

For myself seeing Dennis live was a dream come true. I grew up listening to Dr Hook who influenced me in so many ways, always listening to my dads cassette tapes, singing along. This was the first time i've seen dennis in the flesh, for years i've had a Dr Hook Video which shows Dennis playing alone and i have been amazed by the range of his voice and the emotion put into every performance, and this gig was no exception. From start to finish i was fixed onto this extremely talented individual ( Especially when his string snapped and he just ripped it off and carried on playing, TRUE ROCK N ROLL stlye!!!!) i now wear my Dennis Locorriere T-Shirt with pride whilst prancing around my local rock club! to the disgust of the emo kids!!!! Thanks Again Dennis for sharing your talent with the world and inspiring me to make my own music!!!!!!!

brenda - Skegness england

Hi ive been to your last two concerts great brought back lots of memories your old and new songs are great hope you will be back ps you sighned my cd but i forgot my camera didnt expept to see you was gutted never mind next year i hope brenda

helen werin - Assembly Rooms Derby June 2005

Three guitars, two bottles of water and one singer - not much, you may well think, for a concert. But when that singer is Dennis Locorriere - the former frontman of Dr Hook and the owner of what has to be the most melancholy voice in the music biz - what else do you need? I've seen Dennis quite a few times down the years - starting with the early 70s right up to Dr Hook's farewell tour nearly 20 years ago. And I was heartily curious to see whether, on his own, he could work that same spine-tingling magic that I had felt at those earlier gigs. The audience of middle-aged men and women seemed a little too sedate to me at first, especially as Dennis opened with tracks from his solo albums rather the mainstream mega hits for which Dr Hook are famous and which, I suspect, a lot of them had come for. But it soon became apparent that it was simply that everyone was mesmerised - listening intently, caught up in the most poignant of lyrics and the prettiest of tunes sung by the sexiest of voices. And when good ol' Dennis launched into one of the big hits, More Like The Movies, we didn't need to hear no violins - Dennis's spectacular guitar-playing was enough to make those spine- tingling moments come flooding back. Between tributes to his biggest influences - The Beatles, Ray Charles and, most of all, the legendary songwriter Shel Silverstein, who penned a lot of Hook's earlier story-telling-style stuff - Dennis charmed us with his homespun anecdotes and philosophies, which form the basis of so many of the 'heartfelt' songs he says he loves to write. It's easy to forget, given his voice and appearance, that this is not a country boy but a part-Italian kid out of a tough New Jersey district. Dennis did diversify a little into the raunchier, pacier, Freakin' At The Freakers' Ball, Queen of The Silver Dollar and Cover Of The Rolling Stone, early songs which gave him a fantastic opportunity to show off the versatility of his voice. But when he sang A Little Bit More, one of his biggest UK hits, you could almost hear the female members of the audience sighing. And it was this enraptured atmosphere that helped him showcase some of the tracks of his second solo album, One Of The Lucky Ones, all beautiful songs with an easy familiarity, yet each one with its own particular poignancy. I may have been slightly surprised at the lack of equipment on that stage at the start of the concert, but, by the end, it made me truly appreciate that Dennis does not need anything other than his faithful guitars, that incredible voice and his ability to write and sing songs that touch your heart, to cast his spell. Helen Werin, Burton Trader newspaper.

SJ Willis - The Martletts, Burgess Hill 2005

Dennis joined his three acoustic guitars on stage, and sipped at a glass of water. Saying jokingly that us guys ( the audience ) were making him nervous. I liked that. I wasn't too sure what we were in for that night. Having never seen Dennis perform before, nor indeed never ever having heard his recent solo material. So what was I doing there? Exploring. Simply that! And I found him to be brilliant. He communes with the audience, and makes you feel glad to be there. He was funny, sexy, and that voice!! He plays and sings with real passion, and one song, near the end, made tears well up in my eyes. It was called Carry me Carrie...I think. A new one on me,and I wasn't expecting to respond so emotionally,but I did. I am now a new fan.Love him!!!

linda davidson - alban arena st albans

i saw dennis in 2004 and the old feelings towards him and dr hook came flooding back absolutely amazing when is he back in herts area

STEPHEN TAYLOR - NEW BRIGHTON 20/06/2005

The last night of the tour brings Dennis back to Merseyside and once again no dissapointments.A rather slimline Dennis gave us all the hits and the new songs with a few surprises thrown in,Freakin' at the Freakers Ball(not heard that live!since the DR HOOK days.Songs from the new album,well what can you say alreadydestined to be showstoppers and sing alongs,classics well only time will tell. A great singer and story teller makes for an enjoyable night out with someone you regard as an old friend. My first encounter with Dennis was way back in 1977 on the Makin' Love And Music Tour with DR HOOK through the Farewell Tour in 1985 and all the solo tours since(1993 was the last time here in New Brighton!!) Am sure IF ALL IT TAKES IS TIME becomes the new show stopper and a great song to end a night then let's open with SYLVIA'S MOTHER.Hey you listening out there Dennis?First time in 28 years it was missing of the rota!!GUESS WE FORGIVE. I stand by what i say POP IDOL / X FACTOR watch a true musician in action and at play,maybe in 35 years time we'll still be supporting you! Here's to the next tour can't wait maybe with the Band? ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES we are all priviledged to share that honour. STEVE TAYLOR

Michelle Brown - Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

Third time I have seen Dennis and he gets better and better everytime. Seems like a lifetime of memories rush through your body the good and the bad but leave you with a warm feeling inside knowing that not many people in the world can write songs with so much emotion and so that we can all relate to, no matter what age you are. Shine son is fantastic and made me proud sitting in the concert with my dad and brother who just smiled at each other nearly bringing a tear to my eye. Dont know if Dennis could ever imagine how much his talent can bring so much to peoples lives - hope he continues for a long time to come!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Wilson - New Brighton, Floral Pavillion

Excellent. Top Class Show. Amazing on the guitar, especially when he dropped his pic! I'm 21 years old and my dad got me in to Dr Hook. Now all my mates like them too!! One has even took the album to Cyprus, where he is in the army, and from what i've heard, they love them too. Excellent performance on Monday night and i would certainly go and see him again. Thanks a lot.

mark and shelagh

excellent show at new brighton, surely summer pops now beckons..?

Sandy & Chris Price - New Brighton 20/6/2005

Brillient concert, his voice gets better every time we see him. Love the new album. Look forward to seeing him on his next UK tour. Thanks Sandy x

joyce somerville

We had a most enjoyable night and Dennis was in great form as usual. He has a brilliant sense of humour and is still in fine voice.... Regards. Joyce.

James Forshaw - Parr Hall, Warrington 15/06/05

Dennis, Thanks for an entertaining night. I've seen many gigs over the past few years(modern mainstream music) and on the whole i've left disappointed. It was a privilege to watch and listen to a skilled musician as opposed to an image-based ego concept band! Keep touring. Ps get your zip fixed on those jeans. Thanks again James

Denise Watson - Warrington Parr Hall

Just returned from tonights concert which was our 2nd time to see Dennis and he just gets better and better, absolutely brilliant, in both his choice of songs and so much talent playing his guitar which he played so hard during Queen of the Silver Dollar that his guitar string snapped. Brilliant banter with the audience and the classic was the creaking doors. Dennis said he would leave us with something (i.e. supposedly a song) when the doors went again and he came out with a classic and the timing was perfect when he said quote "some oil for that friggin door." Last night I went to see U2 at Manchester which was fantastic to say the least but for one man to do a show like Dennis with one guitar takes some beating and if someone offered me the choice of which show I'd go to again it would have to be Dennis as he truly is amazing and he plays his music with so much passion and feeling. Well done Dennis and we'll be seeing you again next time you visit the UK....

richard cooper - Wakefield

Dennis was awesome, 20 years since the high life but what a musician anf total entertaining artist. His chat was great between the songs and made us both feel that this sort of man make the world a better place to live in. We will come again and make it last forever, only regret was not to have gone to meet him and thank him in person after the gig. Well done, fantastic Richard & Helen

bob pither - playhouse weston-super-mare somerset

my wife and i had seen dennis many years ago when he fronted dr hook,so when we heard he was at the playhouse on the 11th june we booked up.what a performer he gave everything to the performance,we enjoyed the evening and now look forward to seeing him again,we also met him after the show where he signed the cds we bought,we also had our photo taken with him,he is a true star.

Kath Grundy - Library Theatre Darwen

Dennis manages to combine talent,not just as a singer/musician but also as a guy who can reminisce and bring warmth and humour into his shows.He said that he wished that the B.B.C would invite him on to Top of the Pops.We think he,s too good for that show now.He could do a late night gig on B.B.C 4 for a couple of hours without repeating himself.Nor would he need a bunch of session men to give him crediblity....

Steve W - Derby Assembly Rooms june 05

What can i say ? Dennis is a true professional and a class act. What a change to see someone who talks to the audience sounds just like the records and can make a guitar talk. Well done Dennis and thank-you for a great night out.

Chris Barrett - Civic cntre Aylesbury

Saw Dennis for the first time last night, loved every minute, everytime i thought he had sung my favourite song the next one surprised me. Bought the new CD today will probably wear it out by next week. BEST NIGHT OUT IN AGES.

luke williamson - palace theater newark uk

Michael and Gillian Coney - The Palace Theatre Newark

Brilliant as usual this is the third time have had the pleasure to go to Dennis's concerts.

neil - BURGESS HILL SUSSEX

DENNIS WAS ON TOP FORM MUSIC WAS GREAT ,I FIRST SAW DENNIS IN 1973/74 AND I THINK HE IS GETTING BETTER AS TIME GOES ON LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HIM THE NEXT TIME HE IS ON TOUR . THE GIG WAS PACKED AND I THINK EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME ....

pam kenrick - WAKEFIELD - One of the Lucky Ones

Wonderful show yet again. We couldn't get to the shows local to us and we travelled 70miles to Wakefield but it was worth every mile. Fantastic voice and wonderful new album - we wish him every success with it. Hopefully his new single will be heard on the radio continually. It was good to see a full theatre as well. The album well want can you say - wonderful - brilliant -it would have been difficult to pick one to release as a single - but one of my favourites is 'If you had a heart' but then again 'guess again' all good stuff - cant wait for the next one!!! We are still trying to get to another show of this tour. Hopefully we will. Love all x x x

Martin E Frankland - Newark Palace

Hi Dennis Martin Hear , Thank you for macking it one of the most enjoyable nights we have had in a lond time on Friday the 27 of May 2005. Also thank you very much on Joshua's behalf he loved the show, Now we are starting a new fan base for you as you know he is only 3 you are going to have to keep going for at least another 30 years to get the full benefit out of your next generation of Fans and he would love to see you on top of the Pops. When we got Home he got his guitar out and kept saying he was going to come and live with you as you would have lots of toys for him to play with. He also said he was getting ready to play on stage with you with his guitar. You really made a big impression with him as you have done with both myself and my wife for years. I have told Joshua when you have let me play and sind with you he can do it after me. As you know i sing most of your songs and have done for years hopefully sometime in the future you will let me have a small jamming session with you not on stage but maybe at a hotel or even come and stay with us next time you are in our Area. It has allways been a dream of mine to play with you in the musical sence. I have written quite a few songs and maybe you would like one enough to maybe sing one in your show one Day. I am sure you must have been asked this a thousand times at least. The Guitar i use most offen is an Ovation Adamas carbon Fiber but i own several Ovations. Any way it was a fantastic show some people said after the show you never sang sylvias mother i said to those who listned that was over 30 years ago you have moved on and explained you did sing a lot of Dr Hooks songs mostly Shell's but you also sang a hell of a lot of your own songs which i think shows how far you have come in the last 20 years. We are looking forward very much to seeing you again soon and once again thanks for a Brilliant Show. And Joshua did love it and did not fall asleep and the next day on the Saturday he had me playing the songs you sang on Friday evening i hold down the cords then he strums the strings i sing the songs and he tries his best to join in. He sends you all of his Love as do my Wife Micheala ( known as micki ) and my self Martin. Good luck with the new album and every sucess in the future yours for now Joshua Micki & Martin.xxxxx Email address is martinfrankland@msn.com Telephone number 01636 680618 Mobile number 07971 639182 Again thank you for a fantastic show i know it will live long in our Hearts and forever with Joshua. Bye for now.

Iain Matheson - Newark

Saw you in Nottingham approx 20 years ago with my wife.I wasnt a fan at the time but I have been ever since.People often ask me who is the best live act Ive seen the usual suspects are always in and I always mention you.The songs are great and stand the test of time well and the general personality of dennis is a credit to the man.A smashing night was had by us both.If dennis returns then so will we. Well done.

PAUL HAMMOND - BURGESS HILL

Thankyou Dennis for a wonderful night again so much better without the sloping stage.

Peter Lark - Bloomsbury London 6/5/05

Saw Dennis at the Bloomsbury on 6/5/05 and he put on a stunning one man show. Really strong performance with a great mixture of old classics and new material. An excellent evening,s entertainment. Looking forward to seeing Dennis in London next tour.

Maggie

Have just returned home from Dennis's concert in Belfast Northern Ireland .. he's like a fine wine and improves with age .. he mixed the old with the new .. long may you continue Dennis Belfast loves you and waits for your return - soon we hope. I grew up with Dr Hook and introduced his music to my children at a young age, they are in their 30s now and are firm fans, I also have one in her 20s who helped herself to his albums .. he is timeless ..

KINGS HALL, ILKLEY - 12/MAY/2005

What a brilliant night's entertainment from Dennis. The voice was as good as ever and I enjoyed Dennis's guitar work more than when I saw his 2001 acoustic tour. No Sylvia's Mother as an encore which disappointed many but the songs from the new album were well received. WYILWABW had everyone joining in and Freakers Ball, Rollin Stone and QOTSD brought the house down - who said Ilkley was for the retired !!!! I was "one of the lucky ones" and it was a shame that the West Yorkshire public did not fill what is usually a popular venue for groups especially when some fans had driven for 2 hours to see the concert - perhaps more local promotion was needed in what for Dennis was a new tour location. Better Luck Next Time, Dennis and I am certain the unlucky ones will regret to read and hear about what was a brilliant concert. Would love to get to one of the "with band" concerts this year but will be back for more solos as well. Great album. BG

Janice Moody - UCL:Bloomsbury Theatre 2005

What a great concert yet again, you really are fantastic. I had two people with me on the night who had never seen you in concert before they are now fans as well. My two favourite songs that you sang on the night were Shine Son and the Right to Walk Away, the words hold so much meaning for a lot of people, of course all the old favourites were there as well. I love the way you interact with the audience it just adds something extra to the concert. The other cool thing about this concert was that we got to meet and talk to you afterwards. Thanks again for a great night, can't wait to see you again in 2006, good luck with the new single and album. You really rock. Janice

marilyn

Went to the Swindon Wyvern concert and was blown away. I have never written a review so this just shows how much I enjoyed listening, reminiscing and joining in during the show. The song "Under the Moon" just must have been written with me and my little friend Oliver in mind - so apt. Thanks so much.

Janice Moody - Bloomsbury Theatre

Hi Dennis What a great show on Friday 6th May 2005, you really were fantastic as usual.I was at the show with two people who have not seen you before and they too really enjoyed themseleves and will be coming to see you again. The other cool thing about this show was that we got to meet and talk to you afterwards. My two favourites of your newer songs that you did on the night are Shine Son and The Right To Walk Away,these songs hold a lot of meaning for so many people. Thanks once again for a brillant evening, can't wait to see u again in 2006. Luv Janice

Stuart Lawson - Octagon theatre----Yeovil------8.5.05

Well done,it was first class entertainment from start to finish,the combination of solo performance and audience partisipation was truly memorable.I was as pleased to hear the new as well as the golden "old" songs, Thankyou for a professional and inspiring performance

Sandra Margaret Perry - UCL Bloomsbury London

I have been to see Dennis many times and as usual he interacted with the audience to make it a party atmosphere. He was absolutely superb and I was sad when he finished. It was lovely when Dennis came out after the show to sign autographs and speak to the people waiting. If Dennis does read this, I was the one couching whilst he was tuning his guitar. My apologies, but I have a chest infection and tried very hard not to cough. He took it in good stead. Till the next time. Sandra

Danny Brown - Angel Theatre, Rendlesham

Fantastic concert, a great voice and a personality to go with it. Top bloke.

Maria Rayner - Rendlesham, Suffolk, UK

The first time I saw Dennis was on 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'. It was the early 70's and I was in my early teens. I was sold on him now and after more than some 30 years he is still a brilliant artist. I was delighted to be able to join him Friday night at Rendlesham - and as usual he was on 'top form'. The icing on the cake was to be able to meet him personally - thank you Dennis it was such a thrill for an ageing teenager!! The new album is brill I have played it to bits - the whole family are going spare!

jeff webb - bedworth civic hall

THE BEST CONCERT I'VE BEEN TO IN YEARS,2 AND A QUARTER HOURS OF PURE MAGIC,LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT CONCERT

georgie - wavendon and eastbourne

absolutely fantastic new cd excellent more please

Mike Archer - Eastbourne

Very good performance - sorry about the size of the audience but your Show was not very well publicized in the Town with only minimal entries in the Local Newspaper.Also the Royal Hippodrome,in spite of it's name,is well past it's "sell by" date(as I am sure you discovered back stage) and tends to cater for an older Seaside Tourist audience. Still,my wife Teresa and I,having seen you with Dr Hook twice in Brighton in the late 80's,have been to all your Tours in recent years from White Rock Theatre(with Benny Gallagher etc) to the present. I took my son,who has played guitar for 25 years,to this performance and,I'm pleased to say,he was very impressed particularly with how you tune and play your guitar. We hope to be at your Burgess Hill show - you certainly seem to still enjoy entertaining your audiences.

Stella Huggett - Eastbourne The Royal Hippodrome

I haven't seen Dennis Locorriere solo before (saw Dr. Hook more years ago than I probably care to admit to) and to say I was impressed is an understatement. Not only has he got a wonderful voice and is a stunning guitarist, he has a great sense of humour and looked as if he was really enjoying himself. His songs are a mix of sexy, poignant, funny and rocky - I couldn't have wished for a better evening out. Good luck with the rest of the tour and I hope he tours for many years to come. I look forward to seeing him again sometime. Stella

Andy Watson - The Anvil Basingstoke

Well done Dennis! magnificent an absolute delightful toe tapping, clapping singalong all togetherness evening.This was our first attendence at his performance and certainly won't be the last.His voice the whole aura is spiritual and not to be missed, it certainly won't be our last.[and oh by the way the second album is grrreat!]

Dan Gore - South Sheilds

Absolutley brilliant, great guitarist, amazing voice and just an all round awsome show. Looking forward to next year.

mary

new album is fantastic look forward to seeing you at glenrothes on the 17th june misty blue is one of my favorites.great album yet again

carol cooper

Have been a fan of Dennis for many years (since Dr Hook) and have seen him in concert several times. Recently saw him at The Stables Milton Keynes and am still amazed at the presence he has on stage. The voice is as wonderful as ever,and the songs are wonderful. The latest album is fantastic as is "Out of the Dark". More more more please. just keep on playing and singing for ever.

Larry Starnes

I just purchased your last studio album "One of The Lucky Ones's" and I love it. I live in the states but I will pay extra to get your music from UK. Keep them coming Dennis because I will buy all you can record.. Thanks

Lyn Baynham - Thu 24/03/05 Wyllotts Centre, Potters Bar

Dennis was his usual superb self, I thought he looked better than ever, it was quite a surprise when he missed out Sylvia's Mother but he played Shine, Son which I just love! I Loved every single song he sang except "When you left you turned off the heat" the audience were eating out of his hand, and I can't wait to see him perform again, in fact, I'm booking another venue this week. Please pass on my love and best wishes to him. Thank you

Margaret Docherty

I can't stop playing the new album One Of The Lucky ones this is Dennis at his best and it was well worth the wait for it to be released absolutely brilliant.

Denine - Muni Arts Center Pontypridd 7th April 2005

Awesome. Wonderful show from a truly professional entertainer. Denine deninehouston@aol.com

Janice Fraser

I was at you're concert at the concert hall Glasgow last year and the show prior too that and returning on the 16th june this year If this show is like the last two Then I know I wont be dissapointed looking forward too seeing you again your,s Faithfully Janice

Gill - The Stables, Milton Keynes - 1.04.05

The Stables at Milton Keynes was absolutely buzzin` on Friday night. We could feel the excitement and anticipation as soon as we walked in. This was my first show of this tour and it was just fantastic! New tablecloth, new intro (the Shel introduction was a masterstroke I thought), and new songs from the new CD. Not to mention the fact that stripes are now the new black!! Dennis was so full of energy and fun. It`s been said before that he fills the stage with his personality but don`t you believe it - he fills the whole auditorium!! Whether he`s singing new songs or old he has everyone with him right from the start. The combination of old favourites - Hook songs, Shel songs - and now songs from both solo Cd's, combined with Dennis' magnetic personality made it a wonderful evening It`s great to hear the new songs which are pure Dennis. The CD will be a great success, I`m sure and I`d like to wish you all the best, Dennis, for the single 'The Truth' which should be released in May. It`d be great to see you on 'Top of the Pops' again!! I thought it was a stroke of genius to put those few bars of 'Here Comes The Sun' in the middle of 'The Heat'!! Brilliant!! Thanks again Dennis for such a memorable evening. Can`t wait for the next one!

jon benns - Roses Theatre Tewkesbury

I have spent my life watching and working with artistes on the acoustic/folk/country stage, and I have never ever seen one person command such a presence as did Dennis Locorriere at The Roses last night. Apart from his amazing voice, his humour, and his guitar playing (the right hand is just awesome) his work rate and enthusiasm was second to none. How many artistes have we seen "living off past glories" as they effortlessly churn out old hits whilst barely breaking into a sweat. Not so Mr Locorriere who, whilst quite rightly re-visiting old material that the audience knew and loved, worked his balls off to introduce us to new gems. I am a cynical "seen it all/heard it all folky" and I was completely blown away. Jon Benns.

Rosemary Gibbs - Stables Wavendon

We enjoyed concert as usual, it's our 5th time and every one get's better. Bought the new album and on first hearing is another success. Dennis is so full of life and fun, we look forward to seeing the next concert.

Linda - The Stables, Milton Keynes

Another excellent evening of good music and fun. Very enjoyable. Sung all his favourites as well as some new stuff which is good. Bought the album and like it very much. Fourth time of seeing DL and never disappointed. Linda

Louise Anthony - Stables Milton Keynes

Last night went to see Mr L, at the stables in Milton Keynes. It was a great venue and a wonderfull evening I can listen to Dennis's beautifull voice all day,infact today his ,now 2, solo albums have been on repeat in the CD drive! My husband and I had a very enjoyable evening Thanks see you again soon, Louise xx

Lynn Whitley - Worksop, Nottinghamshire

I've been going to live concerts for over 20 years and just when I think Dennis cant get any better, he does. Last nights show was a truly outstanding, brilliant, faultless performance. Love the new stuff and the mixture of old and new really worked. The friend who was with me had never seen Dennis before and was totally amazed.Dennis has a great voice and his warm and friendly personality make him an exceptional entertainer, long my he continue to delight his audience.

Peter Ashley - Tivoli Wimborne 19.3.05

Fantastic evenings entertainment - never thought one guy with a guitar could hold an audiences attention for over two hours.

Mick - Wimborne

Absolutely brilliant! The voice, guitar, delivery and all round effort where truly amazing.

bob gascoigne - castleford

what a brilliant night !!!!!!! dennis just gets better and better if thats possible, his voice haunts you -makes you laugh-makes you cry but most of all,if you listen, you realise that this guy has gone through it all

evelyn mcguinness GLASTONBURY

WOW!! What a show. Dennis didn't disappoint, and despite his claims of nerves at attempting "either the bravest or most stupid thing" he'd ever done, he really won over the crowd with his disarming honesty and genuine musical talent...

Miriam witts - Glastonbury 2004

I can only begin with an apology for not submitting my attributes to this man's performance earlier. I sat on the grass by the pyramid stage on Sunday afternoon only counting down the minutes until Supergrass, so as a beard sporting man takes to the stage this 18 year old cracks open a can expecting to wile away a little more of the stuff folks in the real world call time. In minutes i couldn't talk to my friends, this man had lasooed me from his first syllable. he asked us to believe in ourselves and dance. Clapping my hands "i believe in fairies style" I jumped up i believed and oh i danced! i fox trotted my wellies through 'only 16' 'cover of the rolling stone' and the fantastic 'freakin at the freakers ball' The man who was never scheduled to stand on the pyramid became the KING of the pyramid. Hats, wellies and beer cans (as glass is not allowed on the site) off to you Dennis locorriere. i now sit at the computer and count the minutes until pay day so i can book tickets to yeovil!

Val Griffiths - Radio Merseyside Show at Liverpool Philharmonic

WOW!! Thanks Dennis for the 'surprise bonus show' at the Liverpool Philharmonic on Friday night! Just the thing to set us up for Christmas! And to top it all, I'm sure a great sum of money was received by the Radio Merseyside Charitable Trust. The first half of the show consisted of local talent (comedians, impressionist, vocalists, local band), with Radio Merseyside DJ's as comperes. Three of the acts had been 'spotted' through a 'Stars in Your Ears'programme on Radio Merseyside, where demo tapes are played. It was a massive, exciting opportunity for them to play at the Phil. They were very well received by a big audience. Dennis came on in the second half, to a fantastic reception. He opened with 'Unchain My Heart' and featured his most widely known songs. One of the highspots for me - and other Liverpudlians - was 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying' - MAGIC!! He then went 'from one sun for another son' and followed it with 'Shine Son'. He really packed in a great selection of songs, and once again his guitar playing on 'Queen of the Silver Dollar' was out of this world - resounding around the Phil. For an encore Dennis performed 'Freakers' Ball'!! - "There's gonna be a Freakers' Ball tonight at the Philharmonic Hall"..... and, of course, finished with 'Sylvia's Mother'!! After all that, Dennis still found time to come and chat to us!! THANKS, YOU WERE WONDERFUL!! LIVERPOOL LOVES YOU!

Keith Maddern - Ventor Isle of Wight U.K.

My wife & I were invited by freinds to see Dennis in concert. It was fantastic and even though the venue was not the best I have visited nor the accoustics of the building great. Dennis had us singing and dancing in the aisles and was a total professional. We can't wait for him to come back to the Island,hopefully in a better venue to enhance his preformance and our enjoyment even more. Well done Dennis Thanks Keith & Lisa

Gerd & Yvette , GRAZ, Austria

BRILLIANT - Dennis can make big atmoshere with only his guitar and his voice - a true muscician the style and playing was just great. We loved it so much - that we searched for his site to give a feedback - Anyway we would be happy to visit a concert again in 500 miles distance from graz... the new album we do buy over the internet too.. THANK YOU FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EVENING.

Catherine& Fred

We were very lucky to have had the opportunity to follow 'The Sound of Dennis' Music' to Austria.
The Orpheum Theatre in Graz was a super venue for Dennis' first solo concert in this lovely country.
The stage setting was something else; white Grecian type columns that changed colour with each new song and the beams of blue light when Dennis sang 'Shine Son' was just heavenly!
It was a joy to be part of this friendly, appreciative audience. We enjoyed a variety of songs, old and new, delivered in Dennis' usual enthusiastic,energetic and fun way.
Non stop entertainment, not even taking an interval.

My memories of this great concert I'd like to share....

Nostalgic 'Dance on Daddy's Feet' ,lovely (wish my Dad could have been there to hear this, but sadly not fit enough to travel)
Listening to an Austrian audience singing along to 'Only Sixteen' and 'Beautiful Woman'. Superb!
Sitting in the midst of these folks after the final encore and listening for over six minutes to continuous applause,no one wanting the evening to end or to go home.
Magical!
I'm sure these new friends will always remember their first time! The first time they saw Dennis 'live' in concert in Graz.

Elisabeth Fidler, Graz, Austria

I want to say "thank you" for the wonderful concert in Graz at 24th
September 2004.
Please let me know about further concerts in Austria.

Carol Howard - Shrewsbury

The concert was great - again! My friend Cathryn and I had first seen Dennis live at Buxton this year and he was so inspirational that time, that we returned, this time brave enough to meet him after the show. We're really lucky to have him in our country so much - and we have noticed how great the audience are too! It shows that great minds are like great hearts - they go where they are appreciated - the fact that Dennis appears at such cosy venues is a tribute to how he 'touches' the audience. Yesterday before the show I heard a Dr Hook song on the radio ' I'm gonna love you a little bit more....' and I think each time Dennis' fans see him, that's just the effect he has. Carol and Cathryn from Stoke on Trent

Gill - Shrewsbury Music Hall 30.07.04

It was a very hot, muggy Friday evening and the music hall itself was much smaller than I`d anticipated. Dennis was greeted with an enthusiasm which increased as the night wore on. He was his usual warm, friendly, humorous self and had us all in the palm of his hand within no time. A couple of people (who at this point shall be namemless, but they know who they are!!) arrived late and sat in the front row, so Dennis very kindly and humorously, did a quick resume of the songs they`d missed, quipping that he could do the whole show like that and we`d all be out in 12 minutes! An addition to this show was 'I Think I`m In Love' - a beautiful song from the OOTD album, which I don`t think I`ve heard sung live before. A little girl named Alice on the front row had an evening I`m sure she`ll remember for a long time as Dennis chatted to her - and apologised when he sang 'Freakers` Ball'!! A glance around the auditorium showed the ubiquitous appeal of the man, his songs, and his amazing voice. People of all ages, from 8 to 80, were enthralled and entertained and were obviously having a wonderful time listening to the haunting, thought-provoking ballads of Shel Silverstein, the love songs penned by DL and sung as no-one else can sing them, and of course there`s always 'Freakers` Ball' - so we don`t get too emotional!! The audience nearly brought the house down at the end, before the obligatory encore, and I`m sure if Dennis hadn`t rushed off stage after 'Sylvia`s Mother', and the audience hadn`t given up quite so easily (the house lights hadn`t come on, after all!), the show may well have concluded with the lovely 'If All It Takes Is Time' - one of my favourites - but that`s just speculation on my part. Either they were too polite or they all had buses to catch!! It was truly another magical evening, Dennis. Thank you so much.

Bill Rudge - Bilston

This was the first time I had seen Dennis and, as a long time Dr Hook fan, I was almost afraid I would be disappointed. After all, its been well nigh 30 years ! Disappointed ? Jeez this guy was incredible. He was so good I almost cried. For Christ's sake if you get the chance go see him ! I couldn't help but ask myself why he wasn't playing Vegas instead of downtown Bilston. Two hours solid, just Dennis & his guitar, but my wife and I came away agreeing we would willingly have paid double the price ticket and still been happy.

Gill - Robin 2, Bilston

What can I say but WOW!! Dennis was in superb form at the Robin 2 last night. The whole place was positively rocking! We were all melting with the heat but Dennis was as energetic as ever, the broken guitar string right at the start didn`t faze him at all, as his `spare` was on hand! The Ray Charles number "Unchain My Heart" is an excellent start to the show. The audience remained enthusiastic throughout the performance, getting more `involved` as the night went on and the beer was flowing(!). It was great to hear `Lucy Jordan`, and `Soupstone`. `Shine, Son` had everyone spellbound. If we`d had our way I don`t think even the two encores would have been enough! I went home singing `If All It Takes Is Time` and truly felt like one of the lucky ones! Dennis just exudes energy and enthusiasm and really makes the audience feel part of the whole experience. His warmth and commitment to his fans shines through. It was great to meet old friends and new and I can hardly wait for the show next week at Shrewsbury! You were terrific, Dennis. Thank you so much. It was a privilege to be there. I have to also mention Lisa Mills who was the opening act. She has an amazing voice and really got the audience into singing mode. I thought her blues guitar playing was quite superb.

This letter was in the Echo on Tuesday 6th.July....

GEORGE BUSH SHOULD ENLIST EX-DR. HOOK SINGER DENNIS...............

I went along to The Brook recently with my friends to see Dennis Locorriere, the former singer with Dr. Hook.
We weren't sure what to expect but had a vague hope that Sylvia's Mother would figure in the entertainment.
What we got was a wonderful evening, being captivated by a charismatic performer who held the whole audience under his spell the entire time. It didn't matter that we didn't recognise some of the music- we will next time.
We went home at the end of the evening feeling relaxed and happy.
Perhaps George Bush should use Dennis as an American Ambassador of War. A couple of hours listening to him and nobody would want to fight!
We were definitely "hooked"! Oh, and not a Sylvia's Mother in sight. Next time maybe!

MRS. M. MAUNDERS,
Shirley, Southampton.

Thanks to Kate for forwarding us this letter.

Sophie - Glastonbury

I just wanted to say "hi" cos I saw you at Glastonbury and you were definitely one of the highlights for me!
We were on our way to see the Divine Comedy on the Other Stage and never quite made it.

We had no idea you were on, then no idea who you were, but you were so entertaining we stayed where we were!!! You should have been on longer.

We were sat high up on the hill by the tree and felt like you were playing more to us than the people at the front!

Basically you rocked!

See you next time. Oh we're at yours next time aren't we ;-)

Bob Beattie - Woodend Barn, Banchory, Aberdeenshire

Electrifying. A truely great performance. better than world class

chris ferguson : Glastonbury

Nice show. Very entertaining and chill out.

Paul : Glastonbury, 27th June 2004

I have fond memories of my mum listening to Dr Hook when I was a child, and it was a pleasant surprise to have the pleasure of watching Dennis perform an acoustic set at Glastonbury - he got the crowd going a treat, particularly singing 'On the Cover of the Rlling Stone.' Finishing off with 'Sylvias Mother' in the sun was probably one of my Glastonbury highlights - fantastic!

Mark Snow : The Brook

Being a long-standing fan of both Hook and Dennis' solo work, I've been trying to get a live show for about two years. Various things had conspired against me, until now. Was it worth the wait? Of course it was! A stream of fantastic songs from then and now, punctuated by Dennis' unfailingly witty anecdotes. The pick of the evening? Probably the wonderful new 'If All it Takes is Time', although 'Freakers Ball' put up a strong fight. My only regret was that I didn't manage to get the tree outside cut down in time to keep us going all night!

Catherine&Fred : 'The BROOK',Southampton,23 June 04

"It was a dark and stormy night"...... And SO not what you would think for the beginning of summer, but once inside 'The BROOK' the warmth of the Southampton people soon made you forget the cold outside. Dennis came on stage to rapturous applause plus a standing ovation! His first song was one by the late great Ray Charles and this is how the show continued, songs and stories that we didn't expect. Dennis asked for request from the audience and sang most of our favorite songs, lovely songs like 'Sing me a Rainbow', 'Jungle to the Zoo', 'Lucy Jordan', 'Storms never last', though we did want this storm to last so that we could stay the night at this special venue (they had a big bar!!!) We sung,laughed,clapped,whistled and some of us even danced! Well swung our hips...yes.. we had a 'BALL' Old songs, new songs, songs I'd never heard before, blues song... Dennis finished with 'Yesterday's Blues' and 'If all it takes is time'. My favorite. Sadly all good things have to come to an end, the storm didn't last and much too soon we had to go back to our hotel. There the Concierge after opening the door for us, enquired, "Had a nice evening?". "Excellent thankyou,I answered, we've been to see Dennis Locorriere". "Oh yes", he said, "the lead singer from Dr Hook...when you met him was he as nice as he seems?",he asked. "Even nicer!" I answered. Thankyou Dennis for another wonderful show.

CATHERINE : THE BLOOMSBURY THEATRE LONDON

'YOU AIN'T HEARD NOTHING YET!' A GREAT THEME FOR A GREAT SHOW.FIVE SINGER/SONGWRITERS THREE MEN,TWO LADIES ENTERTAINED US FOR OVER TWO HOURS, WITH SONGS THAT HAD US SAYING "AAHH DID HE WRITE THAT?" FABULOUS SONGS LIKE GRAHAM GOULDMANS(10CC)'I'M NOT IN LOVE' AND RANDY BACHMANS 'YOU AIN'T SEEN NNNNNOTHING YET'. THEN ON CAME DENNIS... ANYONE WHO HAD NEVER SEEN DENNIS BEFORE AND THOUGHT HIS LITTLE TABLE WAS FOR MAGIC WERE RIGHT,HIS PERFORMANCE WAS MAGICAL.HE SOON HAD THE AUDIENCE SINGING AND CLAPPING ALONG WHILE HE SANG A GOOD MIX OF OLD AND NEW SONGS LIKE 'BEAUTIFUL WOMEN','THE HEAT',THE LOVELY EMOTIONAL'SHINE SON' (VERY APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SHOW) AND FOR HIS FINALE 'SYLVIA'S MOTHER'.DENNIS LOOKED AS THOUGH HE COULD HAVE CARRIED ON RIGHT THRU' FOR AT LEASE ANOTHER HOUR BUT SADLY IT HAD TO FINISH FOR THIS THEATRE REALLY DID HAVE A CURFEW...THEN....EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DASHING OFF AFTER THE SHOW (WELL IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY),HE STILL TOOK TIME TO SAY HELLO TO HIS FANS...YES GREAT MAN,GREAT SHOW, GREAT CAUSE. THANKYOU DENNIS AND FRIENDS.

Val : UCL Bloomsbury, London

What a fabulous show! First Graham Gouldman took us back to the 60s and 70s. I never realised just how many great songs he wrote for other groups. Next was Lauren Field - great voice backed by an impressive band complete with double bass and brass! Then Randy Bachman showed us that he sure can ROCK!!! "Taking Care of Business" and "You Ain't Seen NNNothing Yet" had to be seen and heard to be believed. The second half started with Polly Paulusma. Truly original voice and style and really impressive lyrics. They saved the best till last though - and Dennis had an hour to himself!! We all sang "Happy Birthday" as he came on stage. A great mix of the classic songs and his newer songs. A lot of people in the audience weren't too sure who he was at first and the first couple of songs were greeted with polite applause. Then he lifted the roof off with "Queen of the Silver Dollar" and that guitar playing we all know and love. Sitting in the middle of the audience I could see everyone around me sitting up and taking notice. They were won over completely. They sang along and laughed at all the stories... "A Little Bit More" was greeted with rapturous applause. A standing ovation at the end and a whole lot of new fans !! BRILLIANT NIGHT. FANTASTIC 'BIRTHDAY' SHOW DENNIS !!

Paul Edgerton : Robin 2, Bilston

I went to see Dennis in the Summer of 2003. I took someone with me who I was seeing at the time. She was a big Dennis Locorriere fan, knew all the words to the songs and had seen him in concert before etc, etc. I knew of some of his songs but I can't pretend that I was a fan. I was blown away at the concert though. I couldn't believe that one man (albeit a big one!) with just his guitar for company, could make such a big sound and a huge impact on me. Since that time songs such as Ballad of Lucy Jordan, If I Had A Nickel etc etc have become huge favourites of mine but to hear them for the first time was something I'll never, ever forget. Shine, Son had and still has me in tears every time I hear it and makes me think of my own special son. The lady in question and I are no longer an item unfortunately but when she ran her fingers through my hair when Dennis sang Years From Now, there was electricity in the air. Thank you Dennis, can't wait for Robin Hood gig again in July 2004.

Sandra Blackburn : Strand London

My husband and I went to see Dennis at the Strand and had a fantastic time. The time went by to quickly. I have seen Dennis quite a few times and he has never failed to perform magnificantlly. I cannot wait for the next concert. Keep it up.

Sue and Dave : The Strand London

We had an excellent evening at this concert, Dennis making us laugh and at times nearly crying with his wonderful songs. Thank Dennis hope to see you again x

Tim : Colne Municipal Hall

We went along to see Dennis last Friday which was his penultimate gig of this tour. We, like many, have always enjoyed listening to Hook music but have never been true fans as I am sure many of you out there already are. We even saw Ray Sawyer a few years back near Preston. We went simply because of the Dr Hook name without really knowing who was the real voice behind the band. Well that ignorance has now been corrected and I think we could now be classed as, fans. What a guy, what a voice and what a performance. And to think we could have so easily missed out and gone for a pizza instead!!

Pat : The Aldwych (Strand)

Have been to many of your Concerts, you always do a brilliant show. Was at The Aldwych (Strand) Sunday evening and it was fantastic. The Out of the Dark cd is the most played cd in my collection and I was pleased that you sang a couple of songs from that on Sunday. Thank you for sharing that voice and for always giving such an incredible performance

Maureen Matthewman : Bridlington 1st April

Great show Dennis we really really enjoued it, hope everyone going to London enjoys it too wish we could have been there in London to watch your last gig. good luck dennis luv you lots x x x x x

WILL J HUGHES : ROSES THEATER

THE MAN CAME OUT OF THE DARK AN BRIGHTENED UP NOT ONLY THE THEATER BUT THE LIVES OF ALL PRESENT, EVOKING MEMORIES OF TIMES, HAPPY, SAD, BUT GLAD TO HAVE BEEN MOVED BY THE MUSIC OF DENNIS AND DR HOOK. THE POETRY TO MUSIC PENNED BY SHEL SILVERSTIEN SO MOVING AND DEEP IT WAS ALMOST AS IF HE WAS PRESENT, BUT THEN OF COURSE HE WAS, DEEP IN DENNIS'S HEART! I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MAGIC NIGHT, REVIVING HAPPY MEMORIES, YOU CERTAINLY DID SHINE BOY !!!.

Julia : Redhill, Surrey

A fine voice and a warm and funny man. There's nothing to compere to a live performance and this one was quite magical. I was singing along to the old and enthralled by the new...a masterful guitarist, a soulful lyricist, and you made me laugh!

Mary Smith : Glasgow

My daughters (mid 20s raised on Hook music) and myself thoroughly enjoyed your concert. We were playing Hook music on the way in and wondered what you would sing. We were absolutely delighted with your performance. I would say its the best concert we have attended. Absolutely fantastic.

Raymond Teece : Tewkesbury Roses Theatre

Hi What a great night my wife and I are still talking about it so that shows you how good it must have been first time she as talked to me in years. What can you say about Dennis I could go and see him every night his vocies just blows me away . I just wish he was coming to Telford we would love to see him in or own town .I hope he comes back again this year would love to see him again and again THANKS DENNIS

stephen molineux : st georges hall bradford

Philip Steer : Corn Exchange, Cambridge, England

My wife and myself had never seen Dr.Hook or Dennis previously. The show was awesome and we were blown away by the strength and control Dennis has over his voice. Very emotional, personal, powerful and energetic - despite the Ice Cream at half time

jeannie : kilmarnock, grand halls(21-3-2004)

this was my(along with my husband john ) first ever dennis concert, i hope it wont be our last, dennis is a true artist in every sense of the word, he trully exudes true proffesionalism whilst letting his audience feel he truly cares about them, a great night out for young and old alike, we came away feeling happy and relaxed , with many memories being stirred ,and an enjoyment of the new material, which was first class.hope it wont be too long till dennis is back in this part of the country, meanwhile , we feel priveledged indeed to have been part of the audience last night,the stuff memories are made of. thank you dennis !

jim adams : glasgow royal concert hall 19-03-04

wow,i went to the concert with my wife and two friends,hum ,dr hook. i the guys all right,he's no bad. well what a night! dennis was excellent, and i've been to hundreds of gig's ,all types of music. his layout of song's was a1.after the concert he signed my friends guitar. he's a total gentleman good to see an international superstar bond with his fans,so many don't. amazing dennis all the best. god bless jim(glasgow)

Margaret Docherty : Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

I took my gradaughter Stephanie ( aged 9 ) to see Dennis on the 19/03/04 it is her third concert and Dennis was outstanding I hope it won't be too long till we see him again his voice is unique and what a talent I can honestly say that he is one artist who can sing live and put all todays acts in the shade without a doubt he is a living legend and I will continue to support him always.

Ralph Street : Millenium Forum, Derry. 14/03/04

I went to this concert and thought that there would be a band with Dennis, but the minute he picked up his acoustic guitar and started playing and singing there was no need for any band, this man is totally amazing. With his great voice and brilliant guitar playing he had myself and the whole of the audience in awe. Dennis's gig with his unmistakable voice made it one of the best nights out I ever had. Ralph Street.

K Mac : Burnavon theatre Co. Tyrone Northern Ireland

Having listened to Dr. Hook for most of my childhood as my father was a big fan i decided to go and see/hear the voice of dr. hook for myself. Dennis actually made a point during the show that in this day and age that we all have a wide choice of shows to go and see. However, only a the cream rises to the top. You will always be welcome over here. A truely excellent show..with one guy and an acoustic guitar..thank you

Anne Quinn : "The Market Place "Co. Armagh Northern Ireland

I've seen you 3 times in the Market Place and every concert was fabulous. I'm listening to your songs from 1972 when I was 13 years old. I never thought i'd ever see you perform alive. but I've been privalidged to listen to you at your prime. YOUR NEW ALBUM IS EXCELLENT KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. From one of your admirers Anne Quinn

PAUL CHERRINGTON : CANNOCK , STAFFS. ENGLAND

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME MY PARTNER AND I HAVE SEEN YOU, BOTH TIMES WE THOUGHT YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. PLEASE KEEP COMING BACK. !!!!!!!

Elaine Evans : Cannock

Cannock was the first chance I've had to see "The Voice of Doctor Hook". It was a brilliant performance from Dennis and great audience participation. I really enjoyed the evening. The voice, the songs and sentiments are straight from the heart. I understand now why so many people keep going back -I will be one of them from now on. It's something to really look forward to and recommend to others.

Jane : Fernham hall Fareham

Hi I have never been to one of your concerts before but have always liked the music and have CDs and tapes. The concert last night was really good and me and my sister had a fantastic time. Will definatley come to another concert in the future. Thanks for a great time Jane

GILL SKILLING : Fernham Hall Fareham

Dennis Locorriere was superb. He sang with so much passion and feeling. You could see how much he was enjoying it.I thought the whole night was fantastic. I cannot wait to have the chance to see him again.

Steve Rashley-Smith : Fareham 4.3.2004

Saw Dennis again last night on his latest solo tour.I think he is improving with every tour he does these days.Absolutely superb and he has an amazing rapport with the audience.Keep at it Dennis - you are roundly admired!

andrew jones : dudley town hall / feb

i would just like to say what a spellbinding concert me and my family attended the obvious talent of dennis is unquestionable i felt the highlight of the night was the song penned for your son SHINE SON BRILLIANT a great great night was had by all yours andrew jones

neil hanslow : burgess hill sussex

as always a great show good mix of old and new material have seen dennis since 1972 when he toured with hook . and seen him every tour since . got the dvd from the show its fantacic .i would like to hear dennis sing if possible some time a b side called make it easy wery short song but very very good .

maureen wheawall : the pavillion bournemouth

after missing dr hook the first time round i was delighted when i knew dennis was going solo.it took three and ahalf hours to drive down to bournemouth and it was worth travelling ten hours to see him and hear his magical voice.he was brilliant and his guitar playing just terrific. he needed no one else to accompany him, he was just perfect on his own. he is THE VOICE. the album "out of the dark" is full of wonderful songs and my favourite is the more i am. what more can i say... when is he coming to stoke on trent? dennis we love you

Phil and Beryl Roberts : Muni Pontypridd

What a great concert. Every song sang with passion and feeling with no holding back. We were surprised his voice was still as good for the last song as it was for the first. We were in Cardiff last year and the quality of performance is consistent. Looking forward to the next time.

Pam Lovegrove : Worthing Pavillion

Dennis you were absolutly brillant! You still have those "sexy eyes" to die for. I've never heard you finish with freakin' ball before, so it made a change, but i did miss "The ballard of Lucy Jordan". Having said that whatever you play is fine with me, because you're fantastic. Even my daughter, for whom it was her first time, thoroughly enjoyed it. Singing along with the Dr. Hook songs. The new stuff sounds amazing as well. Don't leavee it too long before you come back please. Look forward to seeing you again.

Dave M : Buxton Opera House (UK)

Flying Music presents 'Alone with Dennis Locorriere' caught my eye as I flicked through the Buxton Opera House brochure, and a set of very mixed emotions sprung immediately to mind. Doctor Hook was around at a very important time in my life, and I have many happy memories of their outstanding gigs complemented by a seemingly endless flow of quality songs, many of which seemed to accurately reflect the experiences and emotions of everyday life and loves. BUT I could not help feeling a little apprehensive. Surely a solo performance from Dennis could not come close to matching my memories of the band - maybe Dennis' enthusiasm for music has waned and he is simply touring for the money - maybe Dennis will have lost his way musically and will perform songs to which I cannot relate? etc etc When you have precious memories you protect them with extreme care! Should I have worried? No, no, no .... and no! From the first steps he took on the stage it was clear that Dennis has lost non of his charisma and he maintained a friendly rapport with the audience throughout the entire evening. Not only did he offer an insight into his life, his music, his thoughts and his emotions, he invited you in! This was not a remote superstar, but more a long lost brother who came around for tea and a chat. In these days of instant pop stars, with many of them using every electronic gadget under the sun to ensure their live performances sound at least vaguely like their studio tracks, it was a real pleasure to listen to Dennis. One man, two guitars and one microphone soon confirmed that Dennis really was the voice of Doctor Hook, and what an outstanding voice it is. Sometimes as delicate as the lightest breeze and at others as strong as the loudest roar. Similarly, percussive support ranged from a slap of the hand on his guitar to the quietest of toe taps on the floor. You really could have heard a pin drop! Nostalgia - was there nostalgia? Well yes there was; who can possibly fail to be moved by songs such as 'Carrie me Carrie', 'Syvlia's mother', 'A little bit more', 'More like the movies' etc etc? Dennis sang many of the old favourites to perfection, but also tastefully blended in some of his more recent material. A personal favourite on the night? For me it was 'Shine Son', which surely reflects the hopes and aspirations of any parent for their children, and certainly brought tears to my eyes. So, the news is 'Dennis is touring the UK', and if you enjoy top quality music performed by a truly outstanding professional buy your tickets now. You will not be disappointed!

debbie vale : dudley town hall

absolutely brilliant bit disappointed no one including myself got up and strutted thier stuff but was held back a bit,particulary to rolling stone,yes you can dance to Hook music but you really need your dog (well I do). Great guitar, great voice and of course great lyrics but above all it was made a very personal performance by dennis's openess and great personality. At one point I thought he had bugged me that day, confession I thought I would be seeing someone come on with a simmer frame and several aides, how wrong I was and ain't I glad I was wrong just this once! p.s. could have been advertised a bit better I only found it in the local press the night before and ain't I glad I did.

Allan Smith : Torquay

Dennis, Spent the Valantine weekend at Torquay and we were able to catch your show. Thanks for a great time! Hope the rest of the tour is a great hit with lots of people. Take care Allan and Shelagh Smith

Ali Castle : Hall for Cornwall Truro

This was the fourth time I've seen him live and each time it has been an evening of pure enjoyment. Please keep coming back. Unfortunately for some reason the hall was not full so those of you whodidnt make it (Friday 13th syndrome) then you are the unlucky ones. Next time would love to see the band again, with Rod and Benny et al, their rendition of Queen of the Silver Dollar is something else. Until next time and make it quick I can't wait!

KELLY WILLIAMS : TRURO - Hall for Cornwall

Hi Dennis, my mum and I have just arrived home from watching you at the Hall for Cornwall, we thought you sounded exactly like you do on our CD's of you. I am 25 years old and have always been a fan ever since my mum used to be doing baking on Saturday afternoons and we would listen to your album on LP's. My mum is convinced you look the spitting image of my dad, but I'm not convinced!, you don't have a belly like his!!! We bought "Out of the Dark" album 2 years ago and listened to it and thought it was fantastic. Expecially "If I had a nickel". More new stuff to come I hope! Hope everything goes okay for 2004 tour of Great Britain. See you when you come down to the bumpkin world of Cornwall again! Kind regards Kelly and Hazel Williams WKelly726@aol.com

merri : Glasgow

I have seen DL everytime he plays Glasgow. His concerts are wonderful the fact that he can stand on the stage no band and just his guitar and totally memsmerize his fans young and old says it all. He talks to the audience not at us and you feel that he is having this wonderful one to one with everyone. I think it amazes him that his shows are sell outs but it does not surprise me the man is absolute magic or as we say in glesca "pure dead brill ..man" Keep singing and keep coming "to good old glasgow town"

Raymond Teece : Shrewsbury music hall

Dennis was great again can not wait to go and see him in Tewkesbury roll on MARCH
