Most gigs we play are 'loud and energetic' with mainly our own material, however, others are more 'quieter, laid back' gigs where we play roughly 50% covers.  Each gig is marked with a (loud) or a (quieter).

Occasionally, gigs are cancelled, please check this list regularly.

If you require directions to a gig, please contact us.
