GET IN TOUCH
If you're interested, please get in touch. We love playing, trying out new venues and festivals. The Boss said "you can take the band out of the pub, you can't take the pub out of the band. " At heart we’re a pub rock band; we’re great after rugby matches and love cranking it up late night in busy pubs. We’re not ideally suited for weddings or corporate gigs, but are great with audiences who are up for a good time and love the best rock songs from the last thirty years. We guarantee to turn any party into a full on gig.
We bring a PA and sound engineer, so the sound is superb (and loud.) We have our own lights , all we need is parking, power and a few beers. If you want to book us, we'd love to chat. We're pretty busy, tend to get booked up early and are unlikely to be able to do gigs at short notice.
How much does it cost? Depends what you want to do, we do a lot for charity, so don’t be afraid to ask. We cover our costs, but are reasonable. Always happy to chat!
