The Machine Shed Band

For a flavour of what we do, you can find here, recordings, videos, photos, reviews etc. Just click on the links.
If you were movin' and groovin' in the 70's and 80's then get out of your armchairs and come and see us; we're still playing that exciting stuff, making you feel alive and good about yourself. And if you're younger, come and see us and see what you been missin'. Come and rock with us, its party time!
Our set list includes 'Otis Redding', 'lynyrd skynyrd', 'ZZ Top', 'Ace'. 'Rolling Stones'. 'Beatles'. 'Prince'. 'Billy Idol'. 'BB King'. 'Creedance' 'Van Morrison' and many more.
We do beer festivals and private parties, anniversaries etc. If you want retro rock, blues and soul, or rock n’roll at your wedding / party, rather than that same old usual disco function set, check us out, send us an email or message us, we’ll have a chat and hopefully sort something out.
