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.
