Their 'Hot, hot,hot' from 2006 was better than the original from Arrow.

Did anyone read one of the posts on here form (think)Nkorner??? one of the band about the technical difficulties that are out of the hands of the band and the short amount of time they have to practise. It was a real eye-opener for non-music people like me.

I'd give them a 9.

If you go on www.hayleysanderson.com site their is a weekly blog on Strictly, this week we get a real insight of the difficulties they have & how the multi talented Dave Arch
manages to organise everything in 1 week where normally would take months to arrange! hats off to them !!!!!!!!

I love the band and singers, I tthink they do a great job and are incredibly versatile. Just don't let them near any more Muse songs again.
Totally agree

A 1000 things?

Bagsing 666?

I like them. It's much better having live music than a backing track and I loved their version of Rainbow Connection from last year (schniff).

I can't imagine the pressure they are all under. If they as much as miss one beat or pull the song slightly faster or slower it could ruin the dance. Wow, dunno if I could handle that!

I enjoy listening to them. It's good to have a live band instead of just a music track. Of course they aren't going to sound like the original highly produced tracks, but they make a very good job of it.

I was thinking about that today. I've not heard the orginal version but I love the way they did it on SCD.

When Karen and Mark danced their AT, I thought the band and singers did a fabulous job of Golden Eye.

I really like the band and singers. One of the male singers did a brilliant job of My Way, was excellent. I know they get a lot of flack on here but they do a good job AND they always clap when the celebs have finsihed dancing.

What a coincidence that they appeared on ITT after the thread on here!

I love the fact that whenever Bruce goe to introduce the singers Dave always looks really surprised.

To play and sing so many different styles on live TV, having only received the music at lunchtime on the same day and getting four goes at each song, is nothing short of fantastic.

Having watched ITT last night it seems pretty clear to me that any problems with the music will be down to under-rehearsal rather than any lack of talent. Given the lack of preparation they get, they do an amazing job.

We thought they did really well with the Paolo Nutini track this weekend - not at all an easy thing to do, and trickier I think if it is a very current song. Also Black and Gold for Tom and Camilla last year was great!


(does that count as two?)

They are 100 times better than most of the Guest musical acts.

More in tune.
And Cheaper.

Totally agree. I think the band is fantastic... or maybe I've just grown accustomed to the not-so-good band on the Danish version of Strictly
