Summer Round 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…

A Wedding at Barlow Woodseats Hall
Read more: A Wedding at Barlow Woodseats HallWe played and Ellie and Lizzie’s wedding in May at Barlow Woodseats Hall. Access to the hall is up a long, deeply potholed drive and I’d stopped halfway along as I wasn’t entirely sure I was in the right place.

Katie O’Brien’s Sheffield
Read more: Katie O’Brien’s SheffieldWe found ourselves back at Katie O’Brien’s in Sheffield in March for another 90 minutes of 90s and 00s guitar hits. The “green room” is becoming more habitable.

Live Music for a 21st Birthday
Read more: Live Music for a 21st BirthdayWe 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 Wedding at Hideaway
Read more: A Wedding at HideawayPhoto by Beck Payne Photography I was completely unaware of Hideaway tucked away on Eyre Lane in the backstreets of Sheffield city centre. I suppose it’s clear from the name that this should surprise no one. We were delighted to be invited to play at Lynsey & Kev’s wedding reception. A very easy going couple whose…
