fairfield halls, croydon, england
hello dennis (i really do hope you get to read this)when my mum offered me a ticket to see bill wyman and the ryhthm kings at the fairfield i thought, cool!that'll be an interesting show so i accepted. i actually found bill pretty bland but when you came on stage my mum and i looked at eachother with absolute delight.. you really made the show for us and afterwards our respective partners got very bored hearing us talk about you for the rest of the night.when i was a little girl my mum had your music on cassette and i used to listen you you on repeat. you are part of the soundtrack of my life and for that i thank you.
you've still got it and mother / daughter appeal, you have a very special place in the heart of the ladies of the darkes family and may you carry on wooing the ladies with your beautiful voice and boundless energy.
enough of the ego massage! but thank you, you are a very special man.
i'm getting married in november... you should come!!
love,
stephanie darkes and mummy darkes xx

The best night out in years - expected Bill's Rythmn Kings to have a suprise guest but couldn't believe my luck when it was you, Dennis. Great to hear you sing different stuff - which you obviously enjoyed doing.
PS Thought the others in the band were good too! L.T.

Brighton Dome
Throughly enjoyed the show on Wednesday evening. Seemed like you had always been with the band and certainly not the "new boy" Keep up the good work. P.G.

Buxton
Hi Dennis.Saw you the other night at buxton with the Bill Wyman band absolutely knocked out by the show as a whole, but especially with you, when you was announced at the begining it took me a while to realize who you was, it hit me as soon as you started singing, where have you been man? i thought you was dead, but there you were, looking great, and singing better than ever.
as soon as i got home i logged on to amazon and ordered your CD "out of the dark", it arrived this morning and i have just played it, fantastic, brilliant, shit hot. "Shine son" moved me to tears, even an old fart like me, i have a son in his late 20s now, but that song really related, where can i find the chords/tab? Will keep a close eye on your web-site now, for future tours/CDs, etc. Thanks for still being alive Dennis, and for a great show. hope to see you again soon. Cheers. Mick

Buxton Opera House
Hi Dennis Just a quick mail to say how much we enjoyed seeing you with Bill and co. We had not been able to get tickets when we first rang up but luckily when we phoned the Wednesday before the show they had some tickets available.
The draw back was they were in one of the boxes!
We have never had a box before (we are normally in the stalls). They did say there was restricted view but it was not that bad and if you I hung out I could see everyone.
Once again thanks for a brilliant night, hope you are enjoying the tour. MF

Malvern Forum Theatre, Friday 22 February 2008
As always, a fantastic show from DL. We went along just to see him but the whole RK experience was a great one - Dennis fitted in wonderfully and his voice lifted the whole band and melded beautifully with Beverley Skeete's. Dennis (looking slim and happy) looked as if the stage could barely contain his energy as he danced, laughed and stunned new listeners with his voice. A well-deserved standing ovation, a wonderful show. J. G.

Dennis - we thought you were fabulous last night. Your version of "Unchain My Heart" was so good. Do you have a recording of it ? Keep on with the rock songs. S.

cliffs pavillion, southend
Being a great fan of both the rhythm kings and of Dr.hook, it was a fantastic surprise to me to see dennis live with bill wyman...the show was fantastic and quite rightly received a standing ovation...I was honoured to be part of the audience...wow!!! K.R.

Portsmouth
Bill Wyman and the rhythm kings....and you of course Dennis,....WOW!...What a FANTASTIC performance, my ankles were killing me by the end of the night from tapping them to the music! LOVED the Everley Bros number 'crying in the rain'....tell them to keep that one in there! Fifth year running that we have seen the band and it just gets better each time.
Very best wishes to all of you. Linsey

portsmouth the guildhall
Dennis stole the show at the Guildhall,he has so much energy, where does he get it from? Bill Wyman took second place (i only bought tickets to see Dennis anyway)another great performance, come back next time on your own!!!!even my husband had to agree Dennis was the life of the show.

Saw DL with Bill Wyman & Co at the Hall for Cornwall - for me, he stole the show!! Such energy and warmth, think I'm in love :o)
I'm now the proud owner of the Live in Liverpool album (bought at the venue, barely been off my cd player since) and a DVD of the Hits & History tour. Especially love More like the Movies, Don't let the sun catch you crying... Millionaire is great fun ...and I've just persuaded my fellow guitar players that we must perform If not you at our next gig.
Love you Dennis - fantastic voice, great songs, great performance, the two ex wives must be kicking themselves.
Take care, have fun. Sally xxxx

Swan Theatre - High Wycombe England UK
Went to see Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings in High Wycombe last night (Feb 14th ) we've seen them a couple of times before and its always a treat - a band that has fun and is on stage as much for them sleves as for the audience - was initially dispointed to find Gergie Fame was not in the line up for our concert and he has always been quite pivotal in the RK's line up
- However was absolutely surprsied and pleased to find Dennis Locorriere as a "guest artist" on this tour What a fab treat - Dennis was in exellent form and really fitted into the rather loose and fun "family" that is the Rhythm Kings persona He brought his own fantsatic sense of humour to the stage and of coure that fantastic voice - very special Frankly I'd like to have heard more from Dennis - but he is guesting in the R.K's after all - so I now have to see Dennis in one of his own shows - keep me posted next time he's in the UK please
But Rhythm Kings with Dennis Locciere come highly recommended - catch ';m in the UK in Feb and March or perhaps your going to miss out forever !!
Barry B - Hertfordshire, UK

Glasgow Herald: Online comments:
the audience clearly loved it, the band enjoyed themselves, Dennis Locorriere was a revelation and, as usual, the sax players (Frank & Nick) played a real blinder. I enjoyed it thoroughly
It was worth going to the Concert Hall if only to see Dennis Locorriere. He was bopping all evening, obviously enjoying himself, and brilliantly entertaining.

Just wanted to say thanks for an ace night. Was sat in the front row and in complete awe. I'm 29 and have a few people on my tick list to see before they are too old and past it. Mean that in the nicest possible way though!! Have listened to Dr Hook since I was a pecker. My mum and late dad were massive fans and it was rocking to see you in the flesh and to hear your voice, which still sounds awesome. A.W.

Aberdeen Music Hall
Took my son who is learing to play guitar to see Bill Wyman and the rythm kings and we were blown away with the entire night a group of brilliant musicians with nothing to prove to anyone doing what they do brilliantly in particular when Dennis sang the song about New Orleans 47
If anyone has a chance to get a ticket for this show get one and see just how music should be played and enjoyed R.M.

millenium forum derry , Northern Ireland 25.10.07
Once again, what a star performance, from a magnificent singer, songwriter. You know how to entertain an audience. Not many singers could stand on a stage with a few guitars and play and sing for so long with the confidence you have. You are truly a remarkable performer with a unique voice. It must be fantastic to be so loved for so long and to keep your voice as good as it was 20 years ago.
Please keep coming back to us. I have been to see you every time you have come here and you just get better and better. Love your new stuff.
There are very few singers who leave a famous band and can sustain the interest you have without having to play all the oldies. Love all your own stuff. Beautiful songs.
Once again thanks for entertaining us and keep coming back. C. McF.

Hi Dennis. can i just say WOW that show was really amazing. ive been a BIG fan of yours for years now and have grew up with listening to your music from when i was little. loved every minute of the show last friday. it was the first time ive ever seen you in concert because i wasn't allowed when i was younger but can i just say all them years of waiting was well worth it. your music is a big part of my life, i dont go a day without listening to your cd's or your recent dr hook tour dvd. you have an amazing voice and it goods to see that you are carrying on with your carear and making brill songs of your own. the amy winehouse song sounded great, i really think you should bring your own version out. hopefully i will see you next year 2008, wouldnt want to miss it for the world. enjoy the rest of this years tour. thanks again for a great show.

darwen library theater. sat. 03.11.2007
The show was just superp the voice/set/guitar playing just gets better each time we go to see him. We first saw dennis with dr hook and band way back in november 1973 at the stoneground in manchester just before they made it big now it's time to get him put in the music hall of fame. Who would have thought that 34 years on that he would still be doing it with the same emotion and more. THANKS DENNIS S & B J

Southport Arts Centre 02.11.07
I attended the show at Southport with my 14 years old son and 21 years old daughter. My daughters' knowledge regarding the music of Dr Hook, or Dennis, is somewhat limited. However, she summed up the evening in just one word. AWESOME!! She was mesmerised by the sheer power and emotion that Dennis put into each and every song. Then, to meet him after the show, to get autographs AND photos taken with him, was the icing on the cake for both my children and me.In the meantime, we look forward to a new album in the near future, which if the sounds of the new tracks played on Friday are anything to go by, will be superb.Once again, thank you Dennis for a fantastic and 'awesome' evening!

To quote you last night " No F***ing Band" You don't need one Dennis, another great solo night and some brilliant observations on life, you could have a second career as a comedian. All made for another superb night. Look after the voice for 2008 another tour and new CD. D.N.

Billingham 01.11.07
Feel extremely lucky to have seen this great gig. I was actually due to have been in hospital for a bone marrow transplant on the 24th but luckily for me it was put back a couple of weeks. Truly one of the best and certainly the most intimate of concerts I have ever seen. This was the final piece to my music loving jigsaw. Queen, Bad Company, Paul Rodgers, Ian Brown and now Dennis Locorriere. Fantastic!! My sister and I grew up on heavy doses of Dr Hook thanks to our parents and were delighted when Jungle to the Zoo was played. Spent many an hour dancing round as kids to this track :) Anyway words to describe the gig fail me so I will stick to fantastic. Thanks again and can't wait for your return to the area. A.M.

My dad had bought me the solo concert & the hits & history DVD's which are FANTASTIC, I kept telling my friend how good they were, so when he saw your show advertised, he bought me tickets for my birthday which was on the same day as the show. Needless to say I had a great night, your guitar skills & your vocals are exceptional. The rapport with the audience, the little stories about the songs create a great atmosphere.
I shall be checking the tour dates for when you are back in the area.
Thanks for a great night.John

Darwen Library Theatre, 12.10.07
Having been a Dr Hook fan in my youth I was surprised to see Dennis was performing in little ole Darwen. I've been to the theatre before with my granddaughter to see Scrooge and similar stuff but didn't realise it attracted such quality performers. My sister-in-law and I totally enjoyed the show, as did the whole audience. Dennis certainly connected with the audience and received a standing ovation at the end of the evening. The songs were, of course, brilliant and the anecdotal links were interesting and amusing. A totally great evening. A.

Bloomsbury London 14.10.07
I am 34 and have grown up listening to your music.When i was 18 you came to my hometown and played at our sports centre.From then on i was hooked.Earlier this year i finally got to see you live again in Norwich and had the best evening,i didnt want you to stop singing,i was determined to come and see you play solo (no mean feat when you live in the back of beyond and have 4 young'uns)and last night was that night.I gatecrashed a friends flat for the weekend and even made him come with me,Dennis you rocked i had a great time ,your guitar playing is awesome and your voice as good as ever....and my reluctant friend got a cd in the foyer and was singing 'jungle to the zoo' all the way home so yet another fan Mr Locorriere!! DONT EVER STOP SINGING BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND K.R.

Mansfield 05.10.07
Having seen a clip of the Hits and history tour I was expecting a band and mainly Hook songs with a spattering of Dennis' own stuff but it was mainly Dennis' own stuff and no band but it was one of the most inspiring performances I have ever seen and one I'll never forget and by the end I was glad he was on his own as it made it very personal. The only downside was I am trying to learn the guitar at the moment and its disheartning to know I'll never be able to captivate an audience like Dennis did and even though I'm only 36 Dennis put my energy in the shade.

Becks Theate 10.10.07
i would like to thank dennis for a fantastic perfomance at the becks theatre on wednesday night. i took a friend who has liked dennis music but never seen him live and he was totally blown away he said that he left the theatre feeling like a personal friend of dennis.This is his words summing up the show it gave him the feeling that dennis was appreciative of the people that were there and was proud to be relaying his remarkable talent to all and wanted to make sure people had a great time with his humour,stories,life observations and voice and and that the thing with dennis is that his music & words reach everybody from the young to the old as everybody can relate these to your parts of your life in one way or another which is a rare gift to hav by the way my friend is 72.I loved the new tracks they sound great cant wait for the new album. G.

Mansfield 05.10.07
Yet again you managed it Dennis! What an amazing evening - every time I see a new show I think it can't get any better than the previous shows I've seen and you always prove me wrong - brill night excellent mix of new, not so new and some darn right old songs. Dennis is such a great guy made my 10year old grandaughters night by giving her the plectrum he had been using all night - she's been merrily strumming both Hook and Dennis songs since - some kids have got great taste in music don't you think!!! J.N.
|
Mansfield 05.10.07
Another exceptional perfmorance. Dennis justs gets better each time I see him. His enthuiasm never wavers and his voice is stronger than ever. A perfect mix of the old songs that we love to hear and the new songs that we hope to hear again soon. It is always a prvilige to be at a DL concert he is not just a great entertainer but a true legend.
The Mansfield audiance were totally spellbound; DL is a superstar who truely shines. L
|
The Stables 06.10.07
Saw DL last night and had a great evenings entertainment. It was especially nice to have a concert of new (to us) songs. There were a few old favourites but the balance was spot on. A really enjoyable evening. J.
|
The Stables, Wavendon 06.10.07
Another excellent night at a very good venue. Its the 6th time we've seen Dennis and we never tire of him. Dennis' voice is just sublime and the interreaction with the audience puts a lot of other artists in the shade. Dennis always plays different songs in his shows and its sometimes a case of 'he didnt play...' but, personally, i like to hear different and new songs. The concert actually finished with a new song called Different Faces which hopefully will be on the next cd. So another brilliant night by one of musics greats. if you havent seen Dennis before treat yourself and try and catch him on this tour N.W.
|
Stables, Wavendon 06.10.07
Dennis was superb! The energy, the words of the songs,all reminding us of how good he is at communicating all those feelings via his songs. I was back in those days when I was younger & the years had not tainted my view of the world. Dennis lifted my soul with the words & took me right back to those summers of sun & freindship. Thank you Dennis, you are a star & a wonderful performer & song writer. Keep on keeping on!! B.C.

mansfield 05.10.07
Wonderful concert .Audience very responsive. Sure Dennis will have lots more fans.His voice his songs his looks just keeps getting better.Listening in the bar to what were some new attenders all fantastic feedback,sure they will be back for more.Thanks so much Dennis got my picture and yet another autograph just a lovely night enjoyed by all. x Y.H.
|
Mansfield 05.10.07
Wow Dennis another great show this evening. A fine mix of old and new, amusing interaction with us The Audience and another DL concert to look back at. The amount of time you spend in this country it's surprising that you haven't picked up a 'Limey' accent yet.How do you dust yourself down after the show and sign away like mad,pose for pics and keep smiling? A real credit to showbiz and a terrific way of thanking the fans who have purchased your music over the years. We will be coming to see you again and more than likely again after that.Keep on rockin'.Paul & Bea

I came across Dennis on a Sky programme "Rock on tv" this week, I'm instantly "hooked" (sorry) on this man and his superb band, can I say much better musically than the original! It's nice to see a performer without the usual big ego coming across. My next task after this is to see where I can see him live!

The Lowry Manchester 22.04.07
There are great singers, there are great songwriters, there are great musicians and there are great entertainers but few are lucky to display all those attributes. In my humble opinion Dennis, you certainly do. I always liked 'Hook' but could not say I was a fan in the sense that I knew everything about the band. (I am probably one of the few that hasn't got a clue why the band split and what caused all the acrimony). All I know is I loved the songs. I saw the gig at the Lowry in Manchester and was blown away. Dennis, I thought when Hook ended that was it. I only found that you were touring by accident but boy am I pleased. You brought back some great memories and I can't wait to see you again whether it is a solo performance or with the band again who were great. For the record, my all time fave Hook song is A Couple More Years, written by both you and Shel I believe. Hey dennis, do you live in UK now? Cheers Dennis, for the songs and for the memories. -Tom

The Lowry Manchester 22 April 2007 Absolutely fantastic show - the best live gig we've ever seen. Dennis was supported by a top class backing band but his talent and genius has to be seen to be believed. They all looked as if they were really enjoying themselves. They gave us the full range of songs from heart rending sad songs to crazy humour. What a performance!! Roll on the next tour- we'll certainly be there. RM

Thank you for a fantastic evening in Grimsby on 21:04:07.
I have been given my hearing back (cochlear implant) and to hear you sing in Grimsby on Saturday was incredible. Your voice and the music you were playing was as wonderful and as enjoyable and mind blowing as I remember it being when I listened to it 20 to 30 years ago!
Thank you for sharing your fantastic talent and history.
Please don't stop it's too good to waste. ML

Bradford 17/4/07 Had the most amazing time,it felt like we had been transported back in time. Please come back soon band, and Dennis you were brilliant. J & K

Grimsby 21.04.07 Hi, Of course I knew about Dr. Hook from my youth Im 61 so being at a loose end I and my wife decided to see Dennis Locorriere at Grimsby .What a great show he put on very nostalgic for us and what a nice man .A very good show was enhanced by his band who along with Dennis were craftsmen on whatever instruments they played .We real enjoyed the evening. M
|
Skegness Embassy Theatre 14th April 2007 Was a brilliant evening that i wont forget, Hearts Like Yours And Mine was the best thing ive ever heard. I hope that Dennis will be back soon, can't wait to watch him again! Cheers for an unforgetable memory. Luke

|
southport 18.04.07 Great night and the standing ovation after the show just showed how everyone enjoyed the performance. But, at the risk of upsetting a lot of hook fans and as one of those who didn't wait until you were nearly dead to see you for the first time. Dennis Locorriere on stage with guitars, table and singing the songs from hook and his two solo albums is what I enjoy most, and what I look forward to hearing again. DN

Birmingham 10.04.07 Hi Dennis
I've seen you many times since you've been solo and yet again you were fantastic. I brought my son and daughter with me who are 18 and 21 respectively and they love you almost as much as I do as they've grown up with Dr Hook's music. No disrespect to your solo stuff but it was good to have a night of just Dr Hook music. Kath

Lowry, Salford Quays, Manchester 22.04.07 Brilliant performance from Dennis and his Band, can't wait for the next tour, many thanks for signing my CD/DVD S
|
Salford - Lowry theatre 22/4/07 I took my friends Andrea and Tony and their Son Tom to the concert as a late Christmas present. And found I had given myself the best Christmas present ever, as well as them. The concert was magical, full of humour energy and emotion. (As well as wonderful sexy singing, fantastic musicians, excellent handling of Hecklers and potential groupies and lots of songs we all knew!)We all thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. ...
Thank You Andrea xxx
|
Dartford - Orchard Theatre 20.04.07 Just wanted to thank Dennis for the fantastic night. I have been a fan since the early days and thought Dennis put on a magnificent performance. He is so full of energy and his voice is still amazing. I sang along with every song. The songs bought back so many memories. My 2 favourites of all time are "When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman" and "Millionaire". I never get sick of them, but I love so many of the others too. A wonderful night, and I can't wait for Dennis' next tour and look forward to the DVD of the show being released.
Thanks again Dennis. It was unforgettable. H
|
The Orchard, Dartford, Kent 20th April 2007 From start to finish I was mesmerized. This is the first time I have seen Dennis live and will not be the last. I was in tears at some old favourites (reliving memories) laughing at his comments and in awe of the sheer enthusiasm and energy of this wonderous man. He is really tasty looking too which is a bonus! XXX MK

Lowry (Salford) 22.04.07 Cannot believe that only for Chris Norman being warm up artist (big smoky fans)we would never of seen this absolutely fantastic show.DL you and your musicians absoluteley blew us all away will be seeing you next time round that is for sure. Thank you for a fab night. MG

Grimsby 21.04.07 Thank you for taking me back twenty or even thirty years. I loved your music then and it is as fantastic now, if not more so... FL
|
The Lowry Manchester. 22.04.07 Well done it was a brilliant show don't stay away too long. PS
|
Grimsby 21.04.07 Just a quick note to say thanks for another brilliant evening Dennis. I came along with my Mum, Dad and Husband, the last time I saw you was in Sheffield, 1985 the 'Farewell Tour' when I was just 16 and it was every bit as fantastic last night as it was back then. It was great to wait and meet you at the end of the show and just topped the evening of perfectly. Magnificent!! LS
|
Orchard Theatre, Dartford 20.04.07 I went along to the show, not having much knowledge of Dr Hook, apart from "Sylvias Mother" and "When you're in Love with a Beautiful Woman", and expected to be thoroughly bored. How wrong could I be! From the "warm-up" act of Chris Norman (ex-Smokie member) andhis collection of songs both old and new (including "Alice, who the **** is Alice"), through to the explosion of energy on stage that was Dennis Locorriere, I was transfixed all evening. If you get a chance to go and see the tour, go. Sell your mother, sell Sylvias mother if you have to, to get a ticket...you won't regret it. N
|
Grimsby 21.04.07 What a fantastic evening, really enjoyed walking down memory lane - took me back XX years to my long lost youth! Oh happy memories. Thanks Dennis for taking the time to meet everyone after the show. Where do you get all that energy from to bounce around the stage as you did? Went as a group of mixed ages and everyone of us really loved the show. JN
|
Dartford - The Orchard Theatre 20.04.07 Wow!
What a truly fantastic show, my Mum has always been a fan, so I went along too - I am SO glad I did, I loved every minute. I will definitely be going next time. Many thanks for a brilliant evening. Amanda Lewis

Grimsby April 21 Been awake since 5 O'clock this morning re-living last nights AMAZING show what a fantastic night!! Dennis you always amaze us with the energy and emotion you put into your performance whether you sing your old songs or your new solo ones - we love them all.

We laughed and cried to all our favourite songs - a very emotional night that we wanted to stay and do allover again!!

Auditorium Grimsby 21.04.07 What a fantastic night of Dr. Hook music. DL is an amazing performer who performs with energy and real soul. His band are a collection of world class musicians with virtuoso performances. Each of his musicians are world class in their own right.

|
Newcastle City Hall 25.03.07 Hi Dennis just wanted to say thankyou for a fabulous night - your songs are so real and the heartfelt way you sing the ballads brings tears to my eyes (soppy or what? ha) Seriously though A Couple More Years and Years From Now are so poingnant (and relevant) to millions of people - what a great talent you have for expressing emotions. Please tour again soon as I missed meeting you afterwards - actually, I didn't think a huge superstar would do that-you are very rare indeed! Thanks again Dennis, love from Michelle x
|
SOUTHPORT THEATRE 18.04.07 It was really fantastic to see and hear Dennis again after so many years. I was a big fan of Dr Hook and the Medicine Show and watched them on a couple of occasions in Manchester during the 70's.
And now in 2007, at Southport, over a two hour period, I was once again blown away by the energy and the passion of Dennis Locorriere. After all these years...he still has it! Backed by a band of really talented musicians, Dennis put on a show that far exceeded my expectations. Demonstrating his vocal capabilities, his excellent guitar playing and not forgetting his infectious humour, I and the audience were in our element. He played a wide variety of Dr Hook material, from the earliest songs, all the way through their more commercial material. The highlight of the set for me...The Ballad of Lucy Jordan. Dennis seemed to call on all his reserves to really do justice to that classic song. My (grey) hairs prickled at that one!
If there is anyone reading this who hasn't seen this show yet...you have three dates to go. Get in there, you won't be disappointed.
PS...Dennis, when's the next solo tour??? TB
|
southport 18.04.07 I have seen DL many times now, and he gets better every time if that is possible. Last night's show was so fantastic,on stage for over 2hours with a band of musicans that bought the years flooding back. One song i hadn't heard for many years was was "hearts like yours and mine" Fantastic,very moving indeed. The evening just flew over,(time really does fly when you are enjoying yourself).
So now,i am looking forward to his next visit. GS

Bournemouth 05.03.07I flew down from Leeds to my daughter's in Bournemouth to see Dennis. He was terrific, we both loved every minute of it.
All the songs were excellent but the one I found so thought provoking was 'the soup stone'. Dennis seems a rally nice qenuine guy with an incredible voice. BS
|
stoke on trent 16th april
What a brilliant night. from the moment Dennis bopped onto the stage singing "walk right in", it set the feel for the night. hits after hit, in that fantastic husky voice of his... there was a wonderful song "Hearts like yours and mine " with the most fantastic guitar playing.it blew me away...
And what a lovely guy. he greeted us after the show.so friendly and great with everyone... makes a change from stars who hardly bother with their fans. cannot wait to see him again. thanks guys for a wonderful evening x B

liverpool philharmonic 15.04.07
Brilliant night again,didnt expect anything less really.Band superb,but seen dennis in concert many many times and just as good solo!!! cant wait till the next time!!!! GP
|
Embassy - Skegness 14.04.07 ....boy did they play - for a whole two hours.... although I didn’t live through the 70s, the concert made me wish I had ... We were spellbound. ... as a relatively new fan, the entire set had me entranced. I can't say that for most groups of today ... It's rare to see a first class band in an intimate venue these days. It is rarer still, to have a feeling of genuine interaction with a star ... For me, a priceless memory was forged; for others, memories were re-visited. Dennis even stayed back to meet the fans and a venue full of fans went home smiling. Now that, is the way music should be.
You can read the whole review on Music and Entertainment site Seatwave:
I'll also be doing a radio feature on Grass Roots radio show next week.
Fantastic work... you did 'em proud Dennis. An amazing night out and I'll be sure to pass on the word to everyone back home in Australia. ... Katie Spain
|
Portsmouth Guildhall 03.04.07hi Dennis, I really, really loved your show in Portsmouth.

With love Ruth

Love and best wishes, Annemarie (AMD), Hairy Dave (my hubby) and Denis (my dad) x
|
EMBASSY THEATRE, SKEGNESS 14.04.07What an absolutely fantastic night of music and memories from Dennis and the Band, and not forgetting the supporting artist Chris Norman. I am a 56 year old who still has the mind of a 20 year old, but on Saturday night all my memories of my teenage years came flooding back. Thank you, thanks for taking us all back and blotting out the world today be it only for a few hours, a few good hours of mind blowing excellent music which made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, and the experience will remain with me forever
This is a highly recommended experience and if anyone reading this hasn’t been to the show then I suggest you do, you must be a fan if you’re looking at the website. Wonderful, thank you so much. Kind regards, Sharon

Croydon 04.04.07
Absolutely loved the show, felt on a high although drained at the end, during that two hours i,d felt every emotion,Dennis had made me feel really happy and then really sad with his AMAZING performance of so many brilliant songs.
Just about got myself together when, today i received my copy of Out Of The Dark! it's sooooo good, so, that's been me all day, no cooking, cleaning or any of the other 'fun' things i ought to be doing, just slobbing out and getting emotional again. Time to go, beginning to feel a bit like Lucy Jordon. L

Brimingham UK 10.04.07
Hi, I just scared myself by recalling that I came to see you & Dr Hook with my first "serious" boyfriend (I never blamed you guys when he dumped me for someone else in a most ungracious manner, I kept on enjoying the music) when you appeared at the Rainbow Theatre in London in 76 or 77, I was as amazed then as I was after Tuesday night. I came to see you and Dr Hook twice on the Farewell Tour, in Oxford and Bristol (even though it was standing room only and we were right at the back of the "Gods")....
You are amazing (I apologise for saying you looked knackered after Birmingham) I was SO stunned that you still had the energy to come out and greet us (such a long queue of folks too) after such a tour de force of a show that I meant you SHOULD be knackered! I hope you will forgive my very clumsy way with words...
As ever you gave us more than the face value of our tickets in entertainment. You bring with you a wealth of stories and your voice is unusual instrument, being able to wring the emotion from a tune and yet also suited to the very funny songs such as "Makin' It Big", but one that I could listen to for hours.
I was with my Sister-in-Law, who loved the show and who, I think, fell a little in love with Clive Gregson! My friend, who should have been with me, was nursing her dying mother, so missed an incredible night.
Thank you for another wonderful evening. Please do another tour so that I can bring my friend along to see what she missed. J

The Derngate, Northampton, UK 11.04.07
I went to see Dennis live for the 4th time on 11th April and as usual he put on an amazing show!
The band sounded great but the best part was when it was just Dennis and his guitar!
I cried when he sang "Hearts Like Yours And Mine" (My favourite!) It was just breathtaking!
Please come back soon Dennis! AM

Assembly Hall Tunbridge Wells 12.04.07

St. Albans Arena 07.04.07
I would just like to say a big thank you to Mr DL and his band, you made a fantastic nights entertainment Pat and I were over the moon.
Not knowing if I was going to make it suffering from a chest and throat infection on the night, also made it unable to sing along to all my favourites, but then they are all my favourites.
The night was truly a spectacular show with all the classics just keep rocking DL and we look forward to seeing you again, I hope the rest of the tour goes well take care. Baz & Pat xx

Portsmouth 03.04.07
I have been listening to your music for absolutely years (well, since the 70's)and on the 3rd April this was the first time I've seen you play live - Even though I have seen Dr Hook - without you it was not the same... Your voice is truly amazing and I am so pleased I have seen you live.
Amelia's (My 3 year old Grandaughter) favourite song is 'Years from now'! A far cry from the Tweenies! She must have taste like Mother & Grandma!
This was a surprise treat from daughter, and I am still on a high now!!
Keep on singing Dennis, years from now!!!!
Charmaine, Portsmouth England.

Fairfield Halls Croydon 04.04.07
Walk right in, what energy I thought Dennis is never going to keep this going had me exhausted just watching.
No problem the energy continued, the familiar hits kept coming with that unique quality of voice.
The last time I saw Dennis in concert it was as a one man show. He was great! This time with the superb band of friends that accompanied him the show was greater still. Excellent value and how Dennis kept his energy flowing for the non-stop length of time he was on stage is beyond me.
A truly great evening. PM

It was a really wonderful show. I had seen you in Brentwood several years ago when you first started touring alone - that was fantastic. I was hoping that this concert would be as good, and it was - how could I have doubted it!
The song selection was very good,but with so many good tunes to choose from, how could you go wrong!
Towards the end, I was about to shout out for 'Sylvias' Mother' and 'Years from Now' when I heard the opening bars. Ahhh happy memories.
Thank you Dennis.
We are coming to see you again in St Albans - we need to see you again before you are "almost f***ing dead".
Looking forward to a great show

Portsmouth Guildhall - 3rd April
An outstanding performance as always from our very talented Dennis. His lyrics, (and some of Shel's of course) delivered with meaning and emotion by that wonderful voice which I could listen to forever. It was great to hear the old Hook stuff and see Dennis with a band but I equally love his newer solo songs and love to see him and his guitar alone. Please come back to Portsmouth soon. Just... WOW !

Portsmouth Guildhall APRIL 3RD
FAB. LAST TIME I SAW DENNIS WAS AT THE DR HOOK FAREWELL TOUR, AND HE HELD THE AUDIENCE AS WELL AS THEN. HE HAS SO MUCH ENERGY I WAS MESMORISED THE WHOLE SHOW, HE SANG FOR TWO HOURS SOLID AND I FELT LIKE IT WAS OVER IN ONE. HE WAS SO SO GOOD. HE SUNG EVERY ONE OF MY FAVOURITES. LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT TIME MR

Portsmouth - 03/04/2007
Once again, a FANTASTIC evening Dennis ..maybe now people have seen and listened to Dr Hook and History, they will realise just what they are missing and book for your solo tours.
It was different seeing you with a backing group after all this time, but hey, they did you proud...FANTASTIC..FANTASTIC.
Great music, great songs and most of all a GREAT person...thanks Dennis MF

Portsmouth Guildhall 2nd April 07
Truly amazing show - we had a fab time. What a performer! All of the songs that we love to hear over and over. Thank you. Charlotte

Portsmouth 03.04.07
Growing up, these fantastic meaningful lyrics have played a big part of my life - From listening to my Mum's CD' to looking at the front covers trying to figure out whatthe people who wrote them are like.
Tonight (only off stage for 3 minutes!)I watched Denis sing some of the best!
Amazingly at 30 years old, this was the first time I have seen these tunes played live and I am trying to figure out what took me so long!
Brilliant! Entertaining! But most of all not only does he prove he is a resplendant singer & song writter - but a very funny man, who I would love to sit down, have a drink with & find out what makes a mind like that tick! Ali

York & London venues 29.03.07 & 01.04.07
WOW! Seeing Dennis on the stage again after all these years was wonderful. Dennis was in top form, hearing all those songs that should be sung by only Dennis, a thrill. The electric guitar playing was fantastic, loved Hearts! Loved each and every song. Dennis gives off so much energy, dancing all over the stage, it was hard for me to stay in my seat. The band's harmoney was beautiful - loved the arrangement of each song. And after all that hard work, putting on a great show, Dennis still makes a point to meet the fans after the show. He's a sweetie! Drucinda

London Palladium 01.04.07
Hi Dennis, sittin' in my hometown Salzburg, Austria again, but my thoughts are in London, where I spent the weekend to see you perform yesterday.First of all I have to say: What a incredible show! The finest musicians in your Band and you in the form of your life! Your voice sounds better than ever and I don't be ashamed to say, that some songs brought me tears in my eyes. One highlight was "Sylvias mother", when you was singing alone and the Band was coming in with such a wonderful and sensitive sound, thank you for that. I was thinking the last 25 years: .....Dennis, let me say again, how you touched my soul yesterday, best wishes for the forthcoming concerts to you and the great Band. I am a classical musician and playing the Viola in the "Mozarteum Symphonie Orchestra". Hope with all my heart to see you again!
All my best from Austria Werner Christof

Broadway Peterborough 30.03.07
Last saw you in 1985, thought you were great then, shame when you disbanded. Got the new history cd and have looked at the past footage on the dvd. You didn't always look your best, but I think of you as a bottle of wine thats got better with age!!! I must say you bounced on stage at the beginning and kept going for 2 hours! Absolutely brilliant! My 9 year old son came to see you and he thinks your great.This past year he has been learning to play the guitar and watching you has inspired him to practice more. ..... We both can't stop listening to your new cd, and look forward to your future releases, hopefully soon. Definately going to keep logged on to your email page, nice to hear what you think about stuff and also your poems very witty, you are very talented in lots of ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! K

Dog tired after a hard week at work, not sure if my good lady and I would be awake enough to even get there! Well you sure cured that! Stunning performance form you, Dennis and the guys in the band.

Thanks Dennis for a great night out, say thanks to the guys in the band for us too. SP

A little bit more was the 16th birthday present from my then boyfriend and now husband , We've treasured that soundtrack for all this time and it was truly the greatest pleasure for us to be in your company for the evening. Your voice has the clarity now that it had then you sing from the heart and mine beat that little faster for hearing those first few notes . May you go on for ever..... JW

Cliffs Pavilion Southend 26.03.07
Dear Dennis and 'The Band',
It was a fab show at the Cliffs on Monday, and it was great to see you in such good form. We have been coming to see you for so many years in so many venues, and each time you bring a new dimension to the music. We really liked the new arrangements of the old Dr Hook hits, they sounded fresh and modern. You have all obviously been working hard to create this show, and congratulations to you all. I said to you 'one out of ten' but it was a JOKE Godammit! Best of luck for the rest of your tour, and see you again,
Melanie, Polly and Trevor - Colchester, Essex

Southend Cliffs Pavillion 26.03.07
I just wanted to say that I had THE best time ever last night. I have been a Dr Hook fan since Sylvia's Mother came out when I was 13 living in Oz. My friend sent me some tour pics of Dr Hook as she was lucky enough to go and see you in Brisbane in the early 80's and I have been so jealous ever since. I am glad I got the chance to see you last night. My Mum and I had a great night, I wish I had your energy but I certainly matched your enthusiasm with the singing (not sure if you heard that cat down the aisle by the exit doors??). Keep up the excellent music making and I will catch you for definate on your next visit. Kaz xx

Dundee 20.03.07
We were blown away by the show in Dundee. I have to admit I was never a big Dr Hook fan but I feel you have to have 'lived' and got to our age (50s) to now appreciate the words in the songs. I bought the CD/DVD last week and have listened to it every day. I am learning to play the drums and have been drumming along. The music has encouraged me to get my guitar out again too and sing those lovely words (stories). Thank you Dennis - and the band. You were wonderful. If you are free on 19th Jan 2008 can you come play at my 60th birthday party in the Station Hotel, Carnoustie. (Nr. Dundee)? Gosh that would waken up Carnoustie!! Carol Ford

oh boy!! at the age of 35 i become a GROUPIE! dennis you are the most enigmatic, enthusiastic and energetic entertainer i have ever seen.I came with my sis, we loved the good F**** luck you wrote on her programme at the mention of her upcoming wedding. even if you can't come! the women sitting in front said we should apply to be backing singers and the two to the side asked "did we know every word to every song". the answer was YES! more please!! best night of our lives was the resounding opinion! Can't wait to do it all again! norma

Buxton 24.03.07
There are just not enough superlatives to praise last nights exceptionally outstanding show. Dennis appears genuinley surprised and humbled that fans still want to see him. Well we do and and long as he goes on performing we'll be there to see him.
One question though. Where does he get his energy from? LW

I had actually travelled up from Edinburgh especially to see Chris Norman live for the first time, having been a Smokie fan for 32 years (Chris was brilliant, by the way) but I stayed on till the end of Dennis' set too and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of classic hits and boundless energy ! Great show. ID

Thoroughly enjoyed the concert last night - Thank you. After much bribing I managed to persuade my 17 year old daughter to come with me - she is very particular about her music but she would like me to tell you that she really enjoyed your concert and your OK for an old dudexxx (oh, and is now loading your CD's onto her MP3) - We look forward to seeing you hopefully same time next year. Love Karen and Aimee

Caird Hall - Dundee 20.03.07
STANDING OVATION AT DUNDEE - SUPER PERFORMANCE
Caird Hall, Dundee venue was a happy full house of happily hand clappin', toes tappin' fans of Dr Hook and History tour. Chris Norman was brilliant and still sounds great and that was a lovely surprise for us to hear him to get the evening off to a great start. Dennis Locorriere and his super group absolutely brought down the roof with his charismatic charm, voice, humour and contagious emotions to the audience (thanks for singing the B Side - Our Hearts - brilliant guitar playing Dennis - no one wanted him to stop performing so after hearing our feet stomp for more for the third time - they performed again and a standing ovation from everyone at Dundee was most definitely called for...and we could have listened to him more. Thank you Dr Hook for an outstanding performance..pleeeease come back to Dundee same time next year. We love you "years from now"! D & A
|
Salisbury, Wiltshire 03.03.07
An evening of pure heaven - Although we loved every second of the performance, and enjoyed hearing those old Doctor Hook songs,we look forward now to Dennis's next tour when he will sing some of this newer songs - like Right off the top of my head / I think that I'm in love and so many more.
Take care Dennis, please don't wear yourself out - we are living now for the next tour!! Chris Adams/Di Jordan

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall 18.03.07
Another fine concert delivered by one of the hardest working artists in showbiz ! The 'Hook' theme was good but DL has also done some excellent songs on his own (e.g. Shine Son)and it would have been good to have heard a few of these too. Anyway, well done Dennis you continue to keep your Glasgow fans happy and I believe, in the usual way, we showed our appreciation. You also kindly signed a concert bill poster and programme for my son after the show (the wee guy who asked why you didn't sing Shine Son) and he was well chuffed that you mentioned the song title when you signed. As long as you take the time to meet the fans after your shows they will continue to love you for it and it says so much about your feelings towards your loyal fans. We'll see you next time ! H, J & E

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall 18.03.07
We saw Dennis on Sunday evening at The Royal Concert Hall Glasgow. Having seen him for the first time on his previous visit (One of the Lucky Ones tour) we anticipated a lively and good-humoured performance. We were not disapointed. Dennis has the energy and effervescence to fill the most gigantic venue. We love his exuberance and dynamism. The music is amazing too. It is clear that here is a man who genuinely loves what he's doing. We love all his songs. One minute I was tearful; the next helpless with laughter; but throughout suffused with the warmth and humanity of this lovely man, Dennis Locorriere. He is someone who inspires me with his joie de vivre and musician's soul.Come back soon, Dennis. We love you! (And take care of that throat, Man!) AD
|
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall 18.03.07
After being brought up listening to the sounds of Dr Hook since I was born (21 years ago) I was almost stupid enough to pass up the offer of a spare ticket to see this show.
My mum and dad have seen dennis many times now in glasgow and have always given fantastic reviews.
Sunday nights performance was in all honesty the best conert I have ever been to.
The enthusiasm, the life, the stories and most of all the music were all absolutely incredible. What a fantastic time I had and I cannot wait now for the next one.
I must say as well that Chris Norman was also very good. K

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall 18.03.07
My husband Rob and I saw your show last night. We saw you "solo" last visit too. You very kindly signed your CD for us last time. Sorry we couldn't wait to see you after the show last night but we had to get home to let our babysitter go home! Our son Jonathan (8) listens to your music in the car going to school and was most annoyed not to be at the concert !Next time perhaps!
We simply love your concerts. You are so enthusiastic, exuberant and talented. What a combination! Yesterday I felt a bit jaded and ancient; two hours of your stage performance and I feel seventeen again! FANTABULIFIC!
We hope you will come back soon. I was concerned last night that you had a painful throat and hope that you are looking after yourself.
Thank you for a sparkly, fizzy, humour-laden virtuoso performance!
With all good wishes,
Just the thought of your energy and enthusiasm make me smile! xx AD

|
Glasgow 18.03.07
What a fantastic show - the effort and energy put into giving what looked like a capacity audience a good time was worthy of respect. The sound quality was superb and the venue exceptional. Dennis Locorriere's voice retains all the strength of 30 years ago together with the special melodic quality that sets him alongside only 2 or 3 other all time greats. Perhaps the best bit of the show was the way Dennis filled the brief pauses between songs with some interesting personal memories and observations. Come back to Glasgow soon! RJ

My wife and 8 friends had a great time in Glasgow last night. You made a great decision in coming back into the spotlight and the words true entertainer are very rarely used these days, but in your case it is with accuracy.SJ

Salisbury & Torquay 03.03.07 & 16.03.07
We went to both shows and had the most magical time. It brought back a lot of happy memories listening to the songs of our earlier years, music we both still listen to all the time. Meeting Dennis after at both venues was also a thrill, will be coming to at least 1 more show this tour but have to work around a very busy schedule. Thanks for a magical time. LP

Just want to say what a great show you put on. We thoroughly enjoyed it. every minute of it, and what great backing muso's you've got with you. B & J

High Wycombe 08.03.07
Loved the show at High Wycombe! Have been waiting a long time for the full experience although loved the three solo shows I've seen also. Provided much needed light relief as I have spent the last three months sitting at the bedside of my fading mother and come the night was almost too tired to make the effort. I am so glad I did!! the escapism was pure tonic. Also explained why I no longer have to expect you to sing the "Alice" song at your shows, I always thought it was a Hook song. JH

Torquay Devon 16.03.07
AMAZING!!! Last saw Dr.Hook 1976! The Torquay concert was stupendous! amazing! Dennis at the best ever with an incredible bunch of muso`s....non-stop for almost two & half hours of great music, laughter and fun.........A TRULY GREAT PERFORMANCE and one that will never be forgotten from a theatre full of people who all left on a high........SIMPLY GREAT!!

Theatre Royal Norwich 06.03.07
Hi Dennis
Just to let you know what a brilliant night it was when you came to Norwich. But my friend was very disappointed that she did have her picture taken with you, and I did. Keep the good work up. CF

Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone 10.03.07
I originally bought tickets for my mum and dad but they had other commitments so my husband and I came instead. Wasn't really sure what to expect but how pleased I was that they could not make it - the best concert we have ever been to. So much so that we have booked tickets for Tunbridge Wells in April along with 6 other people, including my mum & dad. Looking forward to it, Helen and Matt.
|
Torquay 16.03.07
The band did another marvellous job - so much talent on so many different instruments. Dennis is still electrifying the audience with his stage moves - how can he dance around like that, AND play his guitar, AND sing perfectly, all at the same time? I was sitting in the front, so the highlight for me last night was Dennis' guitar solo on "Hearts" - which he performed right at me from just a couple of feet away. There were so many people waiting to speak to Dennis after the concert, that they were lining up right through the restaurant, through the bar, into the foyer, and almost out of the door and into the harbour! Everyone I spoke to had a wonderful evening, and hoping Dennis will come back to the South West very soon. Pauline

Hall for Cornwall, Truro. 15.03.07
I first saw Doctor Hook and the Medicine Show in 1972 at The Dome Theatre in Brighton when "Sylvia's Mother" was riding high in the charts and was instantly "HOOKED". Thirty five years later and Dennis sounds just as good. The voice is just so distinctive, a brilliant show. Thanks to Dennis and the band plus Chris Norman for allowing an "old git" the chance to sing non-stop for two and a half hours and completely lose himself in pure magical nostalgia! Looking forward to your return to Cornwall.Cheers!! JW & SG

Hall for Cornwall 15.03.07
I took my 17 year old daughter to see Dennis last night as I have raved on about how good he is live (and I don't think she believed me!). After the show she was amazed that everything I had told her about the live shows were right. She knew every word to every song, sang her heart out and said that she would like to see him next time he's in Cornwall. For my part, I think last night was the best show I've seen for such a long time. Dennis - you excel my expectations every time. Can't wait til next time. MB
|
Truro 15.03.07
What a brilliant night! The theatre was full up to the top, yet they were still trying to fit extra people into spaces where there were no spaces. As soon as Dennis leapt on to the stage the audience cheering went up to Level 11. There were lots of really loud whistlers in - I reckon all the sheepdogs on the nearest farms were pricking up their ears, thinking it was time to go to work.
All the Hits I could remember, and then more, performed superbly. I especially loved the way Lucy Jordan was arranged. Lots of intesting instruments - mandolin, accordian, slide guitar - thanks to the band for a job so well done. Dennis was in fine voice, which was most apparent towards the end on the solo accoustic spot, and the way he was flying around the stage, must have been wearing magic shoes (winged?)
Two standing ovations - thanks for coming down to Cornwall again. Pauline

Hall for Cornwall 15.03.07
What an experience, the energy right from the first second was amazing. Denis goes from C & W
to almost heavy rock whilst maintaining his unique style his backing group are the most talented and proffesional you could wish to meet with a huge range of styles. Denis was on stage for over 2 hours the hits coming thick and fast skilfully mixing the old hits with great new material. probably the best concert we have ever been privileged to attend please keep up your marvellous work we look forward to your return to Cornwall. J & K

High Wycombe 08.03.07
Hi Dennis,I came to see you for the 4th time on march 8th, and you are still the greatest singer and performer i have ever seen. And meeting you after the show made mine and my dads night, and my good friend Paulo in Portugal was delighted that you signed a poster for him. I hope it will not be too long till we see you again.Michelle x
|
Worthing 09.03.07
I always loved Dennis' "alone with his guitar" at the old Dr Hook concerts & this is my first opportunity to see him again. An incredible show at Worthing last week, I fell in love with Dennis & his music all over again! "Out of the Dark" was on my Ipod by Saturday morning & was in my greenhouse accompanying my seed-sowing that morning. Now awaiting the DVD to feed my addiction until I can see Denis again. My husband accompanied me somewhat reluctantly but was converted in the first few minutes of the concert, completely blown away & can't wait for the next time. Beautiful music, just so beautifully performed. Dennis, we love you. LG

Norwich Theatre Royal 06.03.07
Thank you Dennis for such a brilliant evening's entertainment. It's the fourth time I've seen you and I'm never disappointed. This time I took my 87 year old mother who has been a fan since the 70s. She enjoyed every minute. Dennis, don't ever give up singing - your voice is unique and so special. You bring so much pleasure to so many people. Please come back to Norwich soon. Anyone reading this who is thinking of going to a show - stop thinking and get out there a buy a ticket - you won't be disappointed!
ps: Is it really water in that bottle? JH

Folkestone 10/03/07
Saw Dennis last night, 10/3/07. Thoroughly enjoyed the show. This is only the second time I have seen him playing live. No performer could put more effort in to his performance than Dennis did. Love him to bits. Hope to see him next time here comes over to U.K. MH

Norwich 06.03.07
Hi Dennis,
I was working at the Theatre Royal during your concert/gig on Tuesday 6th March on Work Experience and I must say it was brilliant. I went to work that day not knowing any of your music or who you were. But now I am a great fan. I must say your crew were great to work with and the band was spectacular. Please say thanks to your sound engineer especially for letting me follow him around for the day!
Many thanks for your brilliant gig
Sam Carter
P.S Your come backs to people in the audience were brilliant!!

Folkestone 10.03.07
My husband, Steve, and I really loved the show last night. (We've seen Dr Hook twice before in the 80s - Wembley Arena and Fairfield Halls). Never listened to the lyrics of Freakers Ball before - hilarious! Does Lucy Jordan die in the end?! Used to love Everybody's making it big but me but I don't suppose it can be 'done' nowadays ... Elton John's got two fine ladies, etc, etc! When's the next tour? More please! SC

Theatre Royal Norwich 06.03.07
Enjoyed Dr. Hooks music since 1970's, never thought we would get the opportunity to see you though. Liked you as a solo artist will definitely be getting some of your solo cd's. ...... The show was fantastic!! You're a great performer and entertainer. Where do you get all your energy? Can't wait to see you again. Love your cd/dvd Dr. Hook hits and history. RH

Worthing 09.03.07

Hope to see you again before too long PG

Anvil basingstoke 02.03.07
I grow up listening to Dr Hook & saw them many years ago at Wembley. I have not listened much to the music over the last few years & had no idea what to expect on the 2nd March. I am so glad I went, it was a fantastic show. Dennis was great. His voice & also he looks great too. I hope in the future I will get to see Dennis singing again. I have just brought the new Hits & History cd, not listened to it yet, pleased to see it climbing the charts. Nicky

High Wycombe 08.03.07
Outstanding! Dragged along a slightly reluctant companion who was wholly 'converted' by the great live performances provided with the first couple of numbers; we had a great evening and will certainly travel to see Dennis and the band again. The extra 'magic' was from the man himself, who came across as very witty, fun and friendly, and above all as someone truly enjoying himself. It was infectious and we were all reluctant to leave after the 'final' final number at 11pm (most weekday concerts with other performers seem to end at 10 or 10.30pm and even then various members of the audience creep out earlier to start their trip home, -not so with this one!)

Hi there Dennis
I didn't manage to catch up with you after the show last night but I just wanted to let you know that I thought you and the band were absolutely fantastic last night. Chris was an excellent support act too.
Good luck with the rest of the tour and hopefully I'll make it to another venue.
Lots of love

Basingstoke 02.03.07
The night kicked off with a very good half-hour set from Smokie's Chris Norman .
A solo acoustic offering of 7 or 8 songs ,accompanied by "Rob" on keyboard .
The clarity and purity of Chris's voice is perfectly suited to the soulful melancholic ballads he purveys.
...but he can crank it up a gear or two too and rock like a good 'un !
My only (slight) disappointment was the audience participation with Alice's "additional" lyrics .
I'm a purist and a great song like that deserves a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T .
Otherwise , a great opener for what was to come ....
...and man-oh-man did HE come !
Like Sev (in his Tour Diary) , I'll not give a song-by-song run-down of the evening but imagine this ....
The house lights are down .... the band (sans DL) make their way to their respective corners .
"Grand Master Gregson" , looking more like a Bank Manager or Headmaster , resplendent in 2-piece black suit (Oh! Suit you , Sir !) does the long walk to Stage right .
Mr Hughes counts 'em all in and the show has started !
The band plays a few bars of an intro' groove and then HE arrives . Again , like Sev says , like a whirling-dervish ! What an entrance ! He grabs the mic from the stand and blows the holy-5h1t out of his little harmonica then sings and blows his lungs out on "Walk Right In !
Hit after hit after hit with a bit of history too - tho' this isn't just a run through of the CD/DVD package .
Oh No Sir-ee Bob !
Plenty for everyone ... optional communal singing available at all times for those so inclined ... a couple of "unusual" but very welcome inclusions , I thought !
Other highlight for me was "Lucy Jordan" - with haunting drums from Mark , counterpointed by Clive's Parisienne feel on the accordian and of course DL's always soulful vocals .
In true 'Hook stylee DL was left alone to do the biz on his own for a few numbers and to rap with the audience probably more than he had during the rest of the show . The band crept back on to accompany him mid-Sylvia .
Standing ovation preceded the encore , ending with the roof raising "Hearts like yours and mine" .
Excellent performances from all - and Sev's 10 little fingers somehow manage to pull out horns , strings , brass ,and whole damn orchestras !
Not without the odd minor sound and tuning problems , tho' - but hell - this is LIVE and as REAL as it gets !
If I wanted perfection I'd play the CD !
THANK YOU everyone involved - see you again down the road ! Andy May

Basingstoke 02.03.07
You've heard from DL himself and from Sev and from Andy... so what can I add?
I knew this tour was going to be BIG. I knew these shows were going to be SPECIAL. I knew that DL and the band had been rehearsing their 'moves'. I know full well how much ENERGY DL has. And I was still completely blown away by the way that Dennis EXPLODED onto the stage. You've got to go and see this show! Words just can't describe it. And the pace and momentum just went on and on. Hit after hit. The audience were ecstatic. We heard people saying that they were massive 'Hook' fans way back when, and they just couldn't resist making the effort to come and see this show.
Great to see the band again - with the addition of Sev. They all did DL proud! Val

Salisbury 03.03.07
The show was awsome Chris Norman was very good I loved his new material and will probably go to a solo show if he does one locally. Then on to the Stage bounced D.L. The energy, continued all night the classic Hook songs deliverd with his trademark enthusiasm and unique voice. The Band were amazing .... During one of the introductions when Dennis acknowledged the influence of his great friend Shel, some woman shouted out. I think the Jersey boy came out and she didnt stand a chance! Dennis mentioned Simon Cowell in one of his intros an some wag shouted out at the end of the song "you are through to the next round" which did make me chuckle.
Trust me if you like Dennis, Dr Hook or just damn good live music you will love this show RAY

Salisbury 03.03.07 Saw Dennis on Saturday 3rd March at Salisbury for the 4th time what a wonderful guy never stops me feeling like I am 15 years old again. Thankyou Dennis there is no-one else like you I do hope I'll see you again sometime. Keep smiling its lovely. Deana |
woking 04.03.07 Sir, my wife has seen you in concert a few times and for once i was free to go and see you at woking in the early part of march, a privelege to see a true artiste at work, you are a credit to your profession and it was a joy to see you and your brilliant band perform, don't leave it too long before you come back again, none of us are getting any younger :) DB |
ANVIL BASINGSTOKE 02.03.07 saw your opening night show at the anvil in basingstoke, we took the 3 kids (17/16,13) with us to show them how great you are at what you do. they think you are fantastic also.well done you showed them what real music is all about . fantastic as usual . DC

Norwich 06.03.07
What a fantastic night, I took my mother who has been an Avid fan since the early days, In fact i was amazed how many of the songs i knew, apparantly "Queen of the Silver Dollar" used to send me off to sleep, not this time! I cant imagine how he manages to perform those songs with so much passion after all these years! Although i wouldnt call myself an expert, i have spent a time in Nashville, and seen enough shows to know a good one, Dennis has the combination of a fantastic voice and great stage presence, all backed up by an experienced and versatile band. If you want a great night out, Go see this show, you will not be disapointed! Thank you! RW

The Anvil, Basingstoke and New Victoria Theatre, Woking 02.03.07 & 04.03.073rd March, The Anvil, Basingstoke, the opening night of the tour, you were absolutely fantastic. Singing one great song then another, it's difficult to pick a favourite. Your voice and your energy filled the entire venue. one of my favourite songs has to be "Years From Now" the words and the way you sing them bring tears to my eyes every time i hear it, they are just so true. l have just celebrated my 28th wedding anniversary so the lines "Wanting you years from now, and holding you years from now, and loving you years from now, as i love you tonight" are very appropriate to me and my husband.5th March, New Victoria Theatre, Woking. Again you filled the entire venue with your voice and energy.Thank you Dennis for two wonderful evenings, i am trying to book tickets for another one of your concerts before your tour ends. W

Bournemouth 05.03.07 Dennis, we are just in the door from the Pavillion.

Please next time you come to Dorset sing Storms never Last and Sweetest of all which you sang solo and un accompanied in Birmingham on the DR Hook farewll tour in the 80s. Good Luck with the rest of the tour. Joan Gooch |
Victoria Theatre , Woking, 04.03.07 Ive grown hearing my mum play many of your songs and have always liked them because of that , but i never thought i would get the chance to see you play live . I am so glad i did , it was just an excellent show , better than i ever expected. Chris Norman was great at the beginning and it just got better from there and the band playing with you is amazing as well , my mum loved it too, im gonna try and get some tickets for another show , hopefully see you soon.

malcolm hall album and performace
Came to see Dennis at Walsall 31/3/06 this was the 5th time we have seen Dennis perform, and what a performance, I first seen Dennis playing at the Gatey Threater in Ayr Scotland back in the 90s I think he made about 5 oncores that night, the crowd were going wild, clamping, stamping thier feet And he still made time too meet people afterwards. i'm looking foreward to see him again at the Prince of Wales in October. By the way his 2 albums are great, out of the dark and one of the the lucky ones. If you have a young son you should listern too his song, shine son.
|
Andy Burke The Stables, Wavendon
What a stunning performance, right from the first to the last number Dennis sang and plyed his heart out. and he dealt with the occasional disturbance like the comedian he is, nice one dennis. Dr Hook may be no more but the music is alive and well in the hands of Dennis Locorriere. At the end of the show I was left with one main thought, " if this guy wasn't famous he would be out on the streets busking" he lives for his music and he can certainly play a guitar. Once again Dennis thanks for the packing the tiny venue and making my evening. A True Star. ta Andy

Maria Rayner Millfields, Edmondton, London

Linda Barbara Davies Dudley Concert Hall
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

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

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!!!!!!!

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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 ;-)

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.

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

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.

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)

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

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!

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
