PARISH, HUDDERSFIELD, 27 September 2025
'Came all the way from Stockport to see ya, second time we've seen the band and it was an awesome gig, come to Manchester/Stockport soon!'
'Great gig. Great venue. Great singer. Great band. Fitting tribute to Ronnie.'
'Really good night. Excellent band and thank you for a great night and for playing my favourite Dio/Sabbath and Rainbow songs.'
YORKSHIRE ROCK AND BIKE SHOW, 9 August 2025
'Absolutely brilliant !! Thanks for taking me back to the 7os and 80s...superb musicianship resulting in a tight powerful performance delivering a few RJD classics that you won't hear anywhere else in the UK'
'HOLY DIVA is a tribute band to the late great Ronnie James Dio and his time with Sabbath/ Rainbow and his solo career! Like Ozzy, RJD is/was a music icon, his diminutive form belying his terrific range of vocals, and quite a number of his songs with various bands, and his own, have become rock classics….all of these songs were superbly performed by Lisa Box in a stunning set...the band gave us an hour and 45 minutes of pure magic from a list of rock anthems from Elf and an era of absolute classic rock music...another band you must go and watch/listen to if you get the chance, powerful music powerful vocals, a very rich mixture indeed!'
'Really enjoyed it, great set'
