a decade.

to the band frequently. No experience necessary!
Major

We are available to perform at all kinds of functions - even weddings and
christenings!
We

time is free! After that its £3 (free for under 16's and students).
Workshops run from 8pm to 10pm on Monday's (except Bank Holidays) and Holy
Week.
