About The Lockdown Layabouts

Forged in a socially distant era, the Lockdown Layabouts emerged to conquer the world, or at least the Cotswolds.
Party band
Chipping Campden
Public liability insurance of £2 million

We are a six piece band (2 guitars, keys, sax, bass and drums) with multi-vocals, playing hits spanning the decades. Pop, Rock, Funk, Soul, Ska - you name it, we play it! We love weddings, parties and have played at several local festivals including the Midlands Airshow, Stratford beer festival, Bretfest, even Nigel Night, as featured on BBC news.
