Hathersage Gala 2025
Read more: Hathersage Gala 2025We were invited to play our third Hathersage Gala Finale Party back in May. We love this gig. Hathersage is nestled in the beautiful Hope Valley. It has quite a young demographic that, I can only assume, don’t have a regular opportunity to cut loose to live music. I only mention this because every time…

Grenoside Beer Festival 2024
Read more: Grenoside Beer Festival 2024It was a familiar story as we played our 10th? Grenoside Beer Festival. Couldn’t find a sound guy for it this time so Ben and I resolved to do it ourselves. This went pretty well initially, not least because I’d bought an acoustic guitar sound hole plug. This solves the issues that this particular instrument…

Summer Round Up
Read more: Summer Round UpIt’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.

Grenoside Beer Festival 2022
Read more: Grenoside Beer Festival 2022We love the Grenoside Beer Festival. It is one of the highlights of our year. When we started playing what was loosely known as The Yellow Jersey Beer Festival back in 2015, the event was essentially a big party at a farm. It has evolved over the years but has managed to retain that party spirit. The…

Farm Fest IX at Lawns Farm

Back in July we played the Hathersage Gala for the first time. Then there was the Glastonbury themed garden party, followed by a string of 50th birthday parties. Yes, we’ve been busy boys. It is…

Hathersage Gala 2022
Read more: Hathersage Gala 2022I got a call early in June from Toria, the organiser of the Hathersage gala. Having decided to push the boat out this year and pay to have a couple of bands play on the final night of the gala, they’d been let down by one of them with 6 weeks to go. I rang…
