I regularly go to the Thomas Tripp in Christchurch to check out the bands on a sunday eve.Tonight I stumbled across a band like no other I have seen before.Upon arriving at the pub, I struggled to find a place close to the band.The pub was completely packed out, and a space near the front, not easy to obtain.These guys are popular with many of all ages and I can see why. Sometimes it helps having a camera & as usual I had my camera with me & poised ready to catch that ever elusive shot.
This band consists of 3 guitar players & thats not all. With a varied assortment of guitars, this band kept the the pub busy, throwing what I can only describe as a western country style rock vibe,almost hillbilly but with a modern punk attitude thrown in, but what do I know? Ask them, they are the only ones who can tell you the proper name. If tappin your feet is all you can usually manage in an eve, this band will make you feel like pushing yourself further, the crowds were jumping. Want an uplifting eve ? Then these guys will certainly deliver just that! A mixture of slightly Irish Celtic melody & American Rock, adds so much flavour! Banjo /Guitar player Rob, one drummer called Aide & lots of vocals & guitar action from Tony ( lead singer) & Mark.
This band is not to be missed. I have not seen anything quite like this before.
Not only is their style of music very unique but their choice of songs includes well known covers & their own material. This band is enough to keep you rocking for hours, & the overall entertainment from their performance is something you won't forget.
With a large following, these guys are pretty busy gigging, allover Dorset, and there is no escape of their magnetism and charistmatic & slightly wild attitude pulling you in. Hooked !
I can quite easily see this band being a big name for the future & quite easily imagine them popping up at an event like Glastonbury ( nice )
