]]> It’s a busy time of year for us but not with gigs as you might expect but with enquiries. Whether it’s newly engaged couples or those spurred on by the new year, now seems to be the time for people to book. So if you’re one of those couples considering us for their wedding then you might like to know that we’ve got two upcoming gigs that are an ideal opportunity to come and see us play.

On Friday the 15th of this month and Saturday the 13th of February we’re at As You Like It in Jesmond, just minutes from the centre of Newcastle. We’ll be playing a wedding style set so get down and see what you think. The breaks in between are a perfect chance to come and chat with us if you have any questions.

Entry is free before 10pm and just £5.00 after that. For more info go to our gigs page or get in touch via the contact form.

We hope to see you there.

]]> Last Friday saw us playing just outside of Newcastle at Jesmond’s As You Like It. It’s starting to become a bit of regular haunt for us but this gig was little different as former professional boxer Ricky Hatton was in the audience. Albeit briefly, for about half an hour, when we weren’t actually playing and were having a break. Bit gutting as he’s a big Oasis fan and we thought we’d roll out some Gallagher classics but sadly it wasn’t to be. We were going to get a photo for our site to prove this story but his body guards were a bit hard looking.

We took the Saturday off as it was Phil’s brother’s engagement party in Blyth, Northumberland. He’s yet to set a date for the big date but Phil kindly offered to knock him 10% off if he pays in full at the time of booking.

This Saturday was our first gig at the magnificent Guyzance Hall in Northumberland for the wedding of Phil and Lucy. Our set went down great as did Phil’s cheese-tastic DJ set that consisted of PJ and Duncan, The Outhere Brothers and Psy.

Sunday was another first for us, the first time someone has been arrested as we’ve played and marched out by police officers. Don’t judge the venue, it took place in Bishop Auckland’s finest boozer, The Cumberland Arms and even Sue the Land Lady didn’t have a clue what the craic was. We were a bit gutted as we’d rather it had happened as played The Clash’s I Fought The Law!

This Friday see’s us back at As You Like It before a wedding on Saturday. It’s quite soon after our last gig there but they obviously can’t get enough of The Fontains at As You Like It. It’s our only public show this week so come down for 10:30.
