Hi Guys,
Saw your gig in Bolton (the fun capital of europe) this week, thought you were all great, you must have been good, I was sober. Who was that guy who jammed in with the cow bell,part of the crew I bet.
Anyway many thanks for your sounds,they were great, Me & the Mrs will try and see you again when you R in the Blackburn area???

Hi Les, I tried to email you but didn't work and not pc savvy enough to know Why!
Glad you enjoyed gig, the cowbell guy new our drummer but the rest of us never met him!!
Nice bloke tho.

Cheers, Daz

Had just looked you up as a result of passing comment elsewhere on Conwy (street) Festival days.

I'm muscially more folky orientaded but I would struggle to think of a birghter band giving energy on the quay with the magic of the brass.

Finding your site has been a happy nostalgia trip to me, one where I remember people, inculding the band, having such fun with the music they played and a good feeling spreading amongst the audiences.
