iTunes Music Store reviews for
'What A Day'
The New Soundtrack to Christmas!
Wow! I keep hearing this on the radio! And NOW AT LAST I can buy it! This ranks up there with the best of them as a new addition to my seasonal classic song playlist. A rarity too, being specifically a tune about December 25 th . Elio Pace really captures that confident happy bounce that kicks you into the holidays. Great to hear real musicians let loose in the studio too as opposed to the over produced pop ditties trawled out for the current troupe of reality wannabees. This tune will always be around. Amen!
What A Fantastic Christmas Song!
One to play for years to come! Let's hear more of it on the radio so more people can enjoy the brilliant singing and production - and make it the big hit it deserves to be. Elio should be a big star!
The Best Yet!
Move over the Wizard's, the Slade's and the fly by night attempts at the Christmas Number 1!
'What A Day' has been too long in the making.Congratulations Elio Pace for the best contender.for not only a Xmas Chart Hit, but more than that, a classic song for EVERY Christmas. The Big Band feel and the production quality mixed with great vocals from EP has given me the lift I needed into Xmas. Buy it, Buy it, Buy it!!!
What A Song!
Full of Christmas cheer! Dean Martin, Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Harry Connick Jnr.it's got echoes of this lot PLUS Elio and his band of merry men. I'm gonna stick this on permanent repeat this xmas 'cos I love it!
What A Day!
What a song this is! I think I'll listen to it all year round, let alone Christmas.
Best song I've heard in ages.
What A Day.
Excellent song and a brilliant singer. Just as I was getting tired of the same old Christmas songs along comes Elio Pace with something new and different.
At Last A Different Christmas Song!
Great song for the future, great voice and it makes you feel really happy!

"WOW!!!...a top notch favourite for corporate events...and
I'm not surprised. We can all share in Elio Pace's good-time music
via this CD which is called 'Come And Get It'. I'm sure a lot
of people will"
Desmond Carrington commenting after playing
Proud Mary on his BBC Radio
2 programme 'All Time Greats'.
Nigel Lythgoe
"...an incredible talent, he's sensational"
Barry Mason
"I loved it. There's a great, great space in British music
for a band like this, for a sound like this, for a song like that.
...There's no Billy Joel in Britain and there should be. There's
no Stevie Wonder and there's room in that area for a band just
like this"
Songwriter Barry Mason speaking on
the BBC Radio 2 programme 'Gloria Hunniford's Upstaged' after
hearing a live rendition of Addicted
To The Phone
Musician Magazine
COME AND GET IT - THE ELIO PACE BAND
"Elio must give a storming live performance if this recording is anything to go by. Backed by an army of ultra-professional musicians, the frontman singer/pianist certainly knows how to deliver. In fact the entire band sound like they unerringly know how to make your event go with a real bang. With numbers ranging from Stevie Wonder to the Mavericks, Jerry Lee to Georgie Fame, there is something here for everyone looking for a good time and there's no doubting the ability of this gang to party like its 2999. Hire them!"
