To celebrate Mark’s birthday, we’re playing at the Brewhouse in Burton on Trent on 31st May.

Then we’re into the jubilee celebrations with a cheeky gig in Overseal on 2nd June followed by the Bath Grounds in Ashby on the 3rd June.

Phew!  Come and join us, you’re welcome one and all…

Have a listen and see what you think…
