"A couple of years ago ‘authentic rock and roll band’ Joey & the Jivers played Showcall, then as four piece. This time around they had added some sax appeal in the form of Debbie, whom they are quoted as being chuffed to bits to have with them, as they should be. Impressive last time, this was perhaps even better. Lead man Joey almost committed GBH on the keyboards in a way that Jerry Lee Lewis would have very much approved of. Seeing fine musicians in full flow, working up a sweat and putting everything into a set. Bands don’t come much better than these guys and girl."

"A hot evening of rocking music in more ways than one at the Bournemouth south coast’s monthly gig at Kinson CC. It was a full house, with a good contingent from Portsmouth. It was the wizards from the Isle of Wight, Joey and the Jivers who took to the stage to provide live music. They played two storming sets, opening with Flip Flop and Fly, with dancers crowding the floor for Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On and Low Down Dog. Hot Dog and Rockin’ Daddy got the Jivers going in a blistering second set with Down the Line adding fuel to the fire. Nobody wanted to stop, and it took three encores and a standing ovation with Marie Marie ending it all."

"Joey and the Jivers made another south coast appearance, When they played Gosport in the spring, With two swinging sets. Dancers jived to classics including: Sea Cruise, Breathless, Honey Don’t and R.o.c.k. The sound balance was spot on, not too loud with each instrument clearly heard. Their versions of Down the Road Apiece and Shim Sham Shimmy made full use of the Piano Pounding leader."

"Being the first act at the first session on the Monday is always a tough gig. That didn’t worry four-piece authentic band Joey & The Jivers as they livened up the room with some great rock’n’roll, their impressive frenetic piano vocalist even indulging in some Jerry Lee Lewis-style antics to Great Balls of Fire. The notes hit on both the keys and guitars were immaculate, the musicianship faultless and as such, this was the perfect opener."

"Rock 'n Roll fans met at the Community Centre to dance the night away to Joey and the Jivers for a 50s Rock 'n' Roll Special. A fantastic night was had by all and the band did not disappoint their many followers from far (Cardiff and maybe further) and near. A Big Special Thanks to "Joey & the Jivers" from "The Bonfire Boys"
