As some of you will remember from last year at The Rhythm Riot, we spent our time between shows with the marvellous BopFlix, filming our material. The sessions from The Rhythm Riot are now being released and we are so pleased with this video of our self penned song “Crying Out”…

As always with this stuff, it really helps us get our material out there if you can share, like and comment!

We’ve had the honour of playing some great festivals this year, one of which was the unforgettable Retro Festival where we kicked off the weekend on the Black Hangar Rock n Roll stage! The weekend hosts a great variety of acts, shops, displays and a fairground which illuminates the site throughout the evenings, an absolute sensory delight!

Amongst the festivals this summer we’ve been busy playing our usual haunts, and glad to be back at The Rolleston Arms in Swindon after 5 years!

We were absolutely stoked when our friends at Shakeys Diner invited us to perform at the Rhythm Riot at Camber Sands this year for their Silver Jubilee! What an absolute blast of a weekender, a huge variety of acts and djs, vintage stalls, jam sessions by the chalets, an amazing car cruise on the Sunday. We also took the opportunity to meet up with BopFlix to film some of our original songs 📷 👀

Rolling into February with a great afternoon show at The Imperial Garden Bar squeezed in amongst Amy’s birthday celebrations and our commitment of love to one another… We are now engaged!!!

We had the pleasure of meeting the very talented Karolina Eastwood who took this and many other photos you can view in our Gallery 👀 Check out her work by clicking her name above 👆

Amy’s birthday celebrations were an absolute blast! The Red Hot Trio were rockin’ as always and Rob McElvanney kept everyone dancing by spinning the wax for the evening!

We couldn’t have asked for better company, so we’d like to say a massive thank you to all you lovely lot that celebrated with us! ❤️
