About Me

CURRENT MISSION

a travelling band on tour...constantly

ABOUT ME

we are a travelling band on tour round europe for 6 months, there are 6 of us, 2 girls, 4 boys between the ages of 20-27.
We lived in a squat in manchester for the past year. But now we are taking our music to as many continents as we can. We busk on the streets for our daily bread and search out gigs and squats.
So far we have been to amsterdam, paris, and hamburg. we are going to basque, spain, italy, and poland.
We play guitars, banjos, mandolins, and drums. We play accoustic irish music and electric psychadelic music.
We love travelling in our big red van, surfing, writing, meeting people and playing gigs.

...update...
we are not so much a band anymore so, but send us a message and we might be able to sort you wherever we are...whether that be norway, france, england...bulgaria...send us a message
