Tyber Cranstoun, The Dualers

“BRC, what a Beautiful Meeting! I respect them alot because they have their own music style and that's not the easiest way to follow! The diversity of the sounds take us on a good reggae world trip. The message is always positive, and we can feel the love and honesty in this band".

Devi Reed, The Banyans

“I've had the privilege of working with hundreds of bands and without question BRC are one of nicest groups of people I have worked with. They are very professional and absolutely lovely! Musically they never disappoint, brilliant reggae beats, awesome slide work by Ben and harmonies to bring the house down! Top top performance every time! Festivals, venues and parties, we've worked together at them all and the quality never wavers”.

Zoë Sparkle, Promoter

“Ben Russell And the Charmers, you know, what can go wrong, they are feel good, they are reggae, they are Kent’s Bob Marley”.

Chris Dixon, Create Festival Organiser

"There are many fine qualities about BRC with much attention to detail. To be professional you need to be aware of the gig and what’s required in terms of volume, space taken and general conduct, be in contact with the audience and be in touch with each other proved with some fine harmonies that roll out and slickness of hand to timing and music. It’s all there and long may it continue…There aren’t many acts that I would send abroad for fear of a number of calamities that could ensue with their approach but you guys are perfect".
