We're also available for private parties, anniversaries, birthdays and even rock’n’roll weddings. You name it, we'll do it!
A big thank you to all the many people who came to see us until March 2020, your support is really appreciated.

So, if you were movin' and groovin' in the 60's, 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!
We as a band weren't together then, however we've been playing this music we love for a long while now. So come and listen to amongst others our versions of 'Otis Redding', 'lynyrd skynyrd', 'ZZ Top', 'Wilson Pickett'. 'Rolling Stones'. 'Beatles'. 'Aerosmith'. 'Prince' 'Faces'. 'BB King'. 'Clapton' and many more. We can be loud or not so loud, you decide, its party time!
UNFORTUNATELY ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, ALL OF OUR GIGS AS OF APRIL 2020 WERE CANCELLED DUE OBVIOUSLY, TO THE 'LOCKDOWN'. WE ARE NOW STARTING TO BOOK A SOME GIGS FOR THE AUTUMN. WE WILL BE GOING FOR A FULL PROGRAMME IN 2022 WHERE WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN. MSB.
