"We're going to need a bigger boat....."



Bookings for our band cover the length and breadth of the country and as a result we have played all kinds of interesting and odd venues. Most often, our shows are booked by our agent and the beauty of playing shows that are arranged by a third party is that you never quite know what you are letting yourself in for until you arrive...

Take that time we played a wedding reception on a boat. 

Yes, a boat.


The rather nice "Under The Stars" venue in Bristol: 





The only slight issue with this is that the toilets are at the very back of the boat...right behind where the band needs to set up, necessitating a clear gangway right through the band's equipment. Eek!
Quite odd to be playing on one side of the boat with the drummer across on the other side and the bassist perched halfway up the stairs...but it worked well and a good time was had by all.
