    A 40th Birthday Bash

    After our last outing in October, we were itching to get back on stage—and on Saturday 9th November we had the pleasure of doing just that, celebrating Ali’s 40th birthday at Alder Bar in Neepsend, Sheffield. The party was held in the function room to the side of the main bar, with a cosy setup,…

    A 50th Birthday

    If last week’s 10th wedding anniversary gig at The Station Pub proved anything, it’s that nothing brings people together quite like a night of 90s and 00s anthems. Just a few days later, on Friday, we were back at it again—this time at The Ridgeway Arms in Mosborough—for another unforgettable celebration. The occasion? Lisa’s 50th…

    A 10th Anniversary Party

    There’s something special about live music in a local pub. The crowd, the energy, the chorus of voices belting out anthems we all grew up with—it’s pure magic. On Saturday night, that magic filled The Station Pub in Kiveton as we helped celebrate a very special occasion: a 10th wedding anniversary. And what better way…

  • A 21st Birthday Party

    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…

  • Grenoside Beer Festival 2024

    Grenoside Beer Festival 2024

    It 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

    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…

  • A Wedding at Barlow Woodseats Hall

    A Wedding at Barlow Woodseats Hall

    We 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. Ben pulling up along side me put my fears to rest and we proceeded up…

  • GAS Bar & Bites

    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…

  • Katie O’Brien’s Sheffield

    Katie O’Brien’s Sheffield

    We 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. The tool boxes and plasterboard have gone and there are some lights, which is nice. We’d hoped to chuck in a few new tunes to the set…

    Katie O’Brien’s Sheffield

    Toast were invited to play at the opening weekend of Katie O’Brien’s Sheffield, an Irish Tavern just off West Street. It has been a long time since we played at a bar in Sheffield. Indeed let the record show that our last performance at a bar was at West Street Live back in 2017. I wouldn’t go…
