    I love them!

    Their new album is immense!

    They are probably the best band in the world right now IMO.

    One of the best 3 pieces of all time.

    I've been playing a lot of their stuff on the accoustic & it's really, really nice to play - I'm soo motivated to pick up my guitar again it's really very inspiring!

    Jon Fratelli is a genius, although to sing & play in his quirky style is really very * hard.

    The * plays the * piano, only to rub it in to us mere mortals.

    He's a Celtic fan, so if your reading this Jon - throw us a bone!

    No-one else is writing stuff like the fratellis at the mo, they are completely original sounding & no-one else sounds like them.

    KOL are ok, but fairly generic.

    Cream, ok one of the 1st if not THE 1st SuperBand - but surely The Jimi Hendrix Experiance is, was & will always be the best ever 3 piece band?

    The Fratellis 2nd album is excellent - Lupe Brown & Acis Jazz Singer are soem of the best pop/rock songs in ages.

    Quite a few people have been raving about them , the most i can do is give them a listen and see where they stand.

    You won't regret it mate, I a newly converted supporter, I've never seen them live though - so I canny coment on their live act, but both albums a re well, well worth a download!!

    If you play guitar, especially accoustic, you will love to play their songs - that's reallly why I like them, they're also pretty quirky & have quite witty lyrics.

    Jon didn't want to put that in the album, but the band talked him into it!

    The * says that if he can't write a song in 15 mins, he chucks it in the bin - makes me * puke my * oot ma mooth!!!

    One of the most talented singer/songwriter/guitar/piano playing/celtic supporting * out there!

    Makes ye puke!

    For an accoustic player this stuff is immense, but unfortunately waaaay out my league.

    Jon Fratelli is good, but he's got a long way to even come close to Clapton - that may be a reflection on music today, but in todays artists I really rate Jon Fratelli as a song writer, guitar & piano player & as a singer - you don't seem to get that type of creativity as much nowadays, that's why I like him so much!

    YouTube - The Fratellis- Whistle For The Choir Acoustic

    This song is great to play along with, it's really quirky & his add libbing in place of the other guitar is really good for someone like me to learn from, hardly anyone can do this * nowadays & then do it with a piano.

    I can play Layla on accompyment, but can't sing along with it - need to practice, but it's too hard!
