    A 21st Birthday Party

    This one came out of nowhere. With two weeks to go I received an email from Flo wondering if we might be available to play at her 21st birthday party. Happily for everyone the answer was yes. The big day arrived and we pulled up to the remote venue just outside Hathersage. My first impression…

  • Summer Round Up

    Summer Round Up

    It’s been a comfortably busy summer of live music. Not too hectic, but with just enough gigs to prevent the cobwebs from forming and the fingers seizing up. We’ve played as a trio, tried out a new guitarist, added some songs to the repertoire and experienced some exotic dancing from some very drunk bridesmaids. Yes…

    GAS Bar & Bites

    This is our first gig in Chesterfield since TOAST popped back in 2015. We made our first foray into the world of the trio with this gig too and it seemed to go down rather well. Obviously and change in line up creates the potential for snags and snafus but our trepidation meant we had…

    Live Music for a 21st Birthday

    We were invited to provide live music for a 21st birthday party, at Halifax Hall in Sheffield. Connoisseurs of this blog (a gruesome oxymoron), will know that we’ve not played Halifax Hall since the 16th of June 2016. In truth, I didn’t know that until I went trawling back though several years of listless verbosity that some…

    A 21st Birthday Party

    When I was growing up my parent’s music was The Beatles, The Doors, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Slade, T-Rex and the Rolling Stones. I imagine that if you were looking for live music for a 21st birthday party in the 90s, the bands repertoire would consist of a significant number songs from the catalogues of these iconic artists of the 1960s and…

  • Yet Another 50th Birthday Bash

    Yet Another 50th Birthday Bash

    I received a call from Kristi back in August enquiring about booking the band for her husband’s 50th birthday bash in September. We arrived at a lovely large house in Scholes near Thorpe Hesley at around 6pm. I introduced myself to Kristi and surveyed our stage for this evenings performance. We were outside for this…

    Another 50th Birthday Celebration

    We seem to have hit a seam of milestone birthday celebrations that require the services of a 90s cover band. This event saw Toast pop up at Hallowes Golf Club in Dronfield. I arrived at 6pm to find Nathan setting up his kit on a bijou stage in a high ceilinged function room. A balloon festooned “50th…

    A 50th Birthday Party

    This was our first 50th birthday party booked in August. I arrived early at  the Sitwell Arms in Renishaw and was directed to the upstairs function room by their helpful staff. I discovered an open fire escape at the back of the room which allowed me to more easily unload our gear. Even with this…

    A Party at Yellow Arch Studios

    As musicians we often have to say yes to jobs far in advance when they’re offered to us and that is just a given. Juggling family, work and gigs sometimes means that we can’t always roll out our usual line up. As a pianist with his digits in a number of musical pies, our drummer…

    A 30th Birthday Party at Cutlery Works

    It’s been a very long time since we played in front of an audience. Back in February 2020 we had a full diary and a good thing going on… then everything got cancelled. In many ways we were lucky, aside from not being able to play and we all had flexible jobs like regular shnooks.…
