Upcoming Shows
We're playing at DIGNIFY 24 for Refugee Support Europe - a brilliant evening packed full of amazing entertainment - only £30 for early birds...please come and support a great cause.
Playing after the England Australia autumn international at the wonderful Turk's Head, within gobbing distance of the newly named Aviva stadium, will always be the Cabbage Patch to us!
After the rugby against the Springbocks...
9.00 pm Sat 30th Nov - George IVth Write a description for this list item and include information that will interest site visitors. For example, you may want to describe a team member's experience, what makes a product special, or a unique service that you offer.
Item LinkWe're playing after the Big Game at The Stoop - will be a fantastic way to finish a fabulous year.
Next year is getting very full...12 gigs at the George and a couple at the Turk's Head - busy, busy, busy....
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!
