5K! - The North’s Premier Pop Punk Party Band

The next band to take to the main stage was 5K who describe themselves as a party band. Personal interest for me in this band was that Laurie Caudwell, the drummer, is actually a drummer in the same band as me, The 515’s. I had not seen his band before but had endured many an hour of him talking about heavy metal and all its various offshoots. So, I was pleasantly surprised to hear, when they struck up, that it was not some weird time-signature like 7/4 but cover versions of well-known grunge classics including a great version of ‘Smooth Criminal’. Their lead singer was also a joy to behold, throwing himself around the stage with his platinum blonde hair and carrying an uncanny similarity to our very own Foreign Secretary; Boris Johnson. He really got the crowd going and was amply supported by the band that were happy jumping about, posing and putting on a proper show.

You guys were the best thing ive seen in a long time and i want to book you for further Lendal Cellar gigs
