Absolutely brilliant band - seem them a few times at Walkabout. They really got the place going. Lead singer has an amazing, versatile voice and is kinda cute after you've had a few beers!

-Claire

Amazing band - their U2 tribute was like listening to the real thing, plus the lead singer (Paul) is really cute! Five stars!

I saw this superb band at a private garden party, playing a good mix of soft rock, indie and even some funk.
I asked them about their next gig and took lots of friends to see them at O'Neills in Bromley.

I've seen these guys twice now at the Roadhouse in Covent Garden, London. They rocked! Really got the crowd going. Loved 'em!

-Tammy

Seen this band twice now, once at Temple Walkabout pub and an acoustic set at the O'neils pub in blackheath. Great sounding vocals with a good mix of contemporary and classic indie/rock tracks that get punters singing.
