We are a 5 piece band based in the Devon area specialising in playing rock n roll songs from the 50`s, 60`s, 70`s 80`s and even the 90`s.
Unlike any normal function band, we were not brought together to make money from playing at weddings - we all randomly met at a local open mic night at Cook Island, Mullacott Cross. We started off just playing at this Mic night for fun and occasionally playing the odd free night here and there.
From these nights we got such amazing and impressive feedback from the audience that it stunned us and made us rethink our future. Visit our website for music |
