During our illustrious career we have played numerous festivals including STANLEY BLUES FESTIVAL, MOUTH OF THE TYNE FESTIVAL, STREETS OF THE NORTH FESTIVAL, MIDDLESBROUGH MUSIC LIVE FESTIVAL, STOCKTON RIVERSIDE FESTIVAL, Plus support to the great and famous including ; CHRIS FARLOWE, MICK TAYLOR (ex Rolling Stones), ROGER CHAPMAN (Family), THE CLIMAX BLUES BAND, ZOOT MONY, BIG JOE LOUIS, BRENDAN HEALEY BAND, CHRIS JAGGER (Mick’s brother), OCEAN COLOUR SCENE, OSIBISA, THE ANIMALS with SPENCER DAVIS, THE HAMSTERS,THE WILDCATS OF KILKENNY And probably a few more we can’t remember, but they’ll remember us ! Over the years we’ve had a number of changes, John and Alan being the only remaining original members. We believe that the band is at it’s best at the moment with the current line up with JOHN who is one of the best vocalist’s in the area and also doubles up on guitar and trombone. We have HOWARDon Sax (tenor and alto), DIRK on tenor Sax and Flute to make a great tight brass section. ( try getting a beer out of them ) We have DAVEon Guitar who joined after a twenty year break and has amazed us all with his versatility. Then we have TREVORon Bass and Vocals andALANon Drums, who work together to provide a solid and punchy driving force. We play a great mix of various styles of good solid enjoyable music that never fails to please. We play all kinds of venues mainly in Teesside and the North East , including the local pub circuit, private functions such as weddings, parties etc. and festivals, etc. etc. We hope you enjoy our web site, check out our GIG GUIDE and our funny BIOGRAPHIES and come along to see the band at a venue near you soon.
