007 Voices of Bond

We returned to see this show again as we loved it so much when we went last year and it was another great performance. Excellent band and fabulous singer(s) who could adapt to the varying Bond theme styles over the years. Bravo!

An absolutely amazing performance and my only negative comment was I couldn't see the other productions created by this team. My compliments to the musicians who did an astounding job in entertaining and performing

Amongst other things, James Bond is known for the songs accompanying each film. If you're a fan of these and the idea of hearing them performed live by a brilliant band and great singers appeals, then you'll really enjoy this show.

With 25 official films out at the time of writing, there are plenty of memorable songs to pick from and this show ticks off all the big hitters (though curiously not Licence To Kill at my show, despite the poster saying otherwise), as well as some less expected numbers along the way.

The presentation is simple, with film facts delivered between songs by the singers and Bond-esque graphics playing throughout on a video screen, which is wise: the real star is the music and it more than delivers there.

Many films in the franchise end with the promise that James Bond will return. I hope the same is true for this show at the Festival Fringe.

This is a really great show, Ella is superb and it was great fun. I loved seeing the musicians playing and enjoying themselves. I love the Night Owl shows certainly all the ones I have seen.

Rockin' live performance of the best James Bond theme songs by a banger four-piece band and two vocalists, accented with visual projections. Amazing! Five stars.

A nice show, with great vocal performance. The one down side however was the level of music that was so loud that after three songs my ears only heard shrieking sounds, and, whilst knowing the lyrics, these were lost in the noise.
Nice light atmosphere, though the jokes were a bit stale and studied.
More of the background stories please! These really added to the Bond experience.

Anyone who likes the iconic music of the James Bond films will love this show! Ella and her band create a wonderful glamorous atmosphere, so that you think 007 himself is about to walk through the door! Ella amazes with a wonderful, versatile and unique voice and a captivating stage presence! A wonderful time that simply passes far too quickly!

As a dedicated Bond fan, I eagerly anticipated the show, and it exceeded all expectations. The performance featured a dynamic ensemble of four musicians: a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist, and a lead guitarist who also took on vocal duties. Despite the relatively small size of the group, the sound was expansive and immersive, capturing the essence of Bond’s iconic music with impressive depth.

While all the musicians contributed to the rich, full sound of the evening, it was Ella McCready’s performance that truly stole the spotlight. Her voice was crystal clear and impeccably controlled, bringing a new level of sophistication to the classic Bond themes. McCready’s ability to infuse each song with emotional nuance and power was nothing short of extraordinary. In fact, her renditions were so compelling that I would go as far as to say she surpassed some of the original artists.

The lead guitarist, who also took on vocal duties, added a unique flavor to the performance, showcasing versatility and skill. The seamless blend of instruments and vocals created a captivating experience that felt both fresh and nostalgically familiar.

Overall, the show was a fantastic tribute to the Bond legacy. The ensemble delivered a performance that was both intimate and grand, with Ella McCready’s remarkable talent shining through as the session highlight. For any Bond aficionado, this was a memorable experience.

High quality band, impressive vocals. Classy review of several of the theme songs of Bond from the early ones to the later ones. Very comfy venue.

What a fantastic show. Ella McReady has the most fabulous voice. She is able to sing Shirley Bassey & Adele without making the audience wince. We could have sat through a second show easily. A very talented ensemble and well worth a view.

Nightowl Productions do a really good job on these tribute shows, great choice of music and inciteful information and video clips to help bring everything together. Extremely professional musicians, worth paying a fair amount more to be fair, so this is a bargain you can't miss.
As for Ella McCready, she is incredible! Her voice is very strong, but pure and perfectly controlled; her performance of 'Skyfall' had me in tears, it was so powerful in emotion. Almost as an aside to her amazing voice, Ms. McCready has wonderful stage presence and narrates the story of how Bond themes were developed in an engaging way that draws you into the show.
On the basis of this show, we also attended the Nightowl's Billy Joel and Sting/Police shows too. I went even further and went to the Adele one as well, although Helen missed that one!
Oh, and I also bought both of Ella's CDs, not that I am becoming a fan-boy of her in any way!

A stunning vocalist, Ella is at the top of her game. Great range. Great control. Great pipes altogether. Engaging stage presence. Enchanting actually. She shares the stage with 4 excellent musicians. A keyboardist, bassist, drummer and lead guitar/vocals all of whom can kick ass one tune and follow up with a beautifully nuanced accompaniment to a ballad. Once my wife and I learned Ms McCready also performs the songs of both Adele and Dusty Springfield we immediately booked those two shows as well. (Note to the drummer... I got a kick out of your cymbal work. I've enjoyed getting every sound possible out of cymbals for 60 years...especially on their edges)
