» Testimonials

"We're booking them up for the year while we can. They totally set the place on fire and people are still talking about their first gig here. Amazing band."
- Charlie, Rehab, Harrogate

"It was our launch night and the band sold the place out. It was an incredible night with poeple queuing round the block until ten past eleven to get in. I think people thought they were the real deal when they saw them... everyone was filming on phones and singing as loud as they could. It was an amazing night. They were fantastic."
- Howard, The Tower Nightclub, Hull
