The band's passion for the music we play is clear in our live act and our recordings. We have appeared on TV and in concert venues up and down the country. All of the band members are lead vocalists, enabling us to offer a range and depth of material that few bands possess. We play songs from across all decades and genres ( including- Vintage , Pop , Rock , Folk , Soul and Motown, and Jazz either acoustic or electric.

The current line up is: Paul Aitken (drums and vocals) Steve Degutis (guitar and vocals) Dik Cadbury (bass guitar and vocals) Tony Meacock (lead guitar, Sax and vocals) We have played all over the UK , in Europe and in Hong Kong. We have been successful, I front of large audiences and are equally at home in front of smaller gatherings .

In order to stay contemporary the lineup has morphed over the years and we can perform both acoustic or electric , - as a duo , a trio, a four-piece and a five-piece, with or without gogo dancers ( who always add an extra visual dimension! ) We are committed to continuous improvement and enjoy learning special requests and new material.
