HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!
Yes, we're 16 today. Our 1st official gig was In Camden, but we've since played from the north east to the south west of England, and many points in between. If you want us to play for you, get in touch via the website:

Massive party in Clerkenwell yesterday as we joined the final date of the @jesssilk.bsky.social / @joe-solo.bsky.social tour. Fantastic audience - and when the sound engineer is joining in on the choruses of songs he's never heard before, you know something special is happening.
