GET IN TOUCH
Please get in touch, if you've seen us, let us know what you think. If you want us to try out a new venue or festival, we're always open to ideas. 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 nor corporate gigs, if you want us to play a birthday party, it needs to be in a live music venue and it helps if you've seen us play before.
We bring our PA and Dave, our brilliant sound engineer, so it sounds 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!
