Here is the July interview with little devils:

little devils have established a name on the blues circuit for “Dylan-like word play and fine musicianship” [Blues in Britain] and “a relief from the predictability that pervades modern day music” [Blues Matters]. They play a mixture of familiar blues coupled with their own original 21st Century blues. The feedback from audiences is that little devils’ original 21st century blues bring an exciting new edge to the blues – music does not stand still!

Speak of the Devil:-

Blues in Britan
"Dylan-like word play, narrative story telling and fine musicianship to the fore .. with more than 12 bar blues being the order of the day… Athough they are a blues band, it is only one element of what they can do. There are elements of classic songwriting, funk, classic rock and jazz…well worth seeing live "

Playmusic Magazine Awards
"bringing new things to the blues ..touches of the Blockheads, Attractions and classic R&B energy and FUN.. mixing into great original new blues songs…"
Blues Matters
“a relief from the predictability that pervades modern day music - the songs have depth and the ring of authenticity. For once the lyrics to the songs are well worth a read – they tell stories and introduce us to a range of quirky characters and events… The crowning glory is the vocalist – Yoka, the Dutch Diva, a charismatic performer who is well worth catching live… ”
Chinese Whispers:-
