Big thanks to all who came and supported us last night at our first full band headline gig The Hub at St Mary's

Thanks to the amazing Tom Coyne for stepping in at the last minute and the wonderful Kate B'mand (and band) for their superb sets.
Thanks to Lewis, Jordan (photos incoming) and the Hub team!

It's been quite a journey these last 12 months, firstly tentatively supporting our mates the Jeeps last November, then Ian Broudie and the Lightning Seeds in December 2024, followed by supports in early 2025 to Ian Prowse The Bluebells and more recently The Bluetones, we even managed to get a gig in with The Catapult Club in Birmingham and played our first festival Lichfield Fuse Festival in July.

Not bad for four late 50 somethings and 'the kid' on drums (39… next birthday) on our 'mid life crisis' around the block doing this music lark!!!

Anyway here's to what 2026 brings...

Oh yes if you're not doing anything on 2026 come see us supporting those lovely lads from Space At The Station SPACE the Band Official at the The Station in Cannock on February 14th.

Tickets are going like the proverbial hot cakes... get 'em whilst you can!!!
