‘very engaging’; ‘if the Faces or Pogues had been from Louisiana they would
have sounded like this’; ‘this Jagger is a sly sharp songwriter’.
Daily Telegraph
“Chris Jagger does the job with so much joie de vivre that he and his
four good-timey chums might well kick more life into your next party than
anything else released by the Stones in the last decade”.

ACT OF FAITH; new record from Chris Jaggers Atcha!
Jo Wrington. Roots for You. Jan 2006.
This time around Chris and his band have honed a classic. Unlike previous
records, good as they were, this succeeds as it’s more integrated,
more of a band production. The songs are written by Chris and long time
associate Charlie Hart but the arrangements and direction is more contemporary.
Witness ‘15% extra free!’ checking out the consumer misnomer
of getting something for nothing, all backed with a slick rhythm track spun
together by drummer Malcolm Mortimore and son Jim Mortimore who not only
worked tirelessly on the record but also plays pretty good guitar too more
Atcha! @ The Loft Club, Barnet.
27th November 2005.Stephanie Thorburn
Over the past decade I must have sought out Chris Jagger’s ‘Atcha!’ at least
half a dozen times. The first occasion was a tantalisingly brief set tucked
up at The Garage near Highbury and Islington, and the second occasion in
2002 was at The 100 Club, Oxford Street forming the basis of a live recording
for the band. Prior to the unfortunate closure of The Torrington, Atcha!
also graced the boards unexpectedly in replacement of one of their peers,
possibly Chris Farlowe as I recall, for an outing on a Sunday evening at
the venue. more
Review of the Marlborough Jazz Festival Flicky
Harrison Swindon Advertiser, July 2005
“Next we come across some good old rock & roll from Chris Jagger, brother
of Rollin Stone Mick and boy does musical talent run in that family. Chris
and his band played a banging set in the festival sponsor’s Brewin Dolphin
bandstand having the crowds queuing to come in. The catchy numbers flowed
freely from this charismatic artist who has just as much flamboyance as
his brother, prancing around on and off the stage with his washboard, guitar
or tambourine like a whirling dervish. Strong numbers and a corking guitarist
who had the tendency to stray into a bit of Hendrix in the middle of a boogie-
grinning widely at the audience- made this one of the strongest sets of
the festival for me.”
