If you got here via the Black Pig Border web pages you will have sussed we are a spin off from that group. A lot of the Black Pig venues are rock pubs and bike rallies. So, a couple of us decided we had to revisit our rock & roll roots...

The Victoria Biker Pub at Coalville 9-4-2011

After re-learning the electric stuff from our youth, we've more or less got it together. We don't even have to borrow kit anymore! Anyway, at present we'll happily play anywhere for almost nowt (just for the crack, and good causes, you understand!) so get in touch using one of the many emails in these webpages if you want to book us, or have us support someone else.

Also, have a look at our Bandmix page where there (might) be more information :-)

cheers!

UPCOMING...
	We are having a break for a while due to two band members having other commitments at the moment. However, we will be back soon - with new guitarist (or bass player or drummer!), because Jon has decided instead to join another embryonic band. We wish him luck :-)
PAST GIGS...
	15th October, Black Pig's 25th anniversary bash, with Shamus O'Blivion and the Megadeath Morrismen, not as previously adertised at Somercotes, but back at the NYC. NG10 2FQ -ish. This went very well. We didn't realise at the time but this would be the last gig with our present line up (see drivel above...).
	The 'secret' end of September gig was a successfully closely guarded 50th birthday bash - once again at the NYC (We must get out more!). A reasonable turnout, and much quaffing of beer by the audience, ensured that we were well received and were persuaded to do 'extra' encores.
	14th May, Nottingham Yacht Club Rally, Cranfleet Lock, Long Eaton, Notts NG10 2FQ A good gig - could have done with a few more people but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Some dancers and some people really into it - surprisingly some of the youngest were also the keenest! Theresa complimented on singing. We were also complimented on how 'tight' we were! Gosh, must be getting the hang of it after all! The set of course is longer now - to the point where we have even dropped a couple of numbers...
	9th April, Victoria Biker Pub, Coalville - as support act. Potentially our most serious, and challenging, gig so far. A completely different audience from last week and we went on as the first of three bands - playing to a good sized bunch of people. Good audience feedback in terms of applause, and dancing, during the set and further complimentary comments from several members of the audience afterwards. We all enjoyed it too!
	2nd April, New White Bull, Giltbrook, Notts (near IKEA!) The audience was best described as 'sparse'. We played reasonably and the audience drifted in and out from the other bars. A few people danced and most people clapped - but all in all it wasn't terribly inspiring. Things always seem better when there are more than a dozen people in the room!
	Sat 22nd January. Slider's birthday bash at the Black Bull, Blidworth
	Sat 11th December 2010 - New White Bull, Giltbrook, Notts. A freebie show for Natalie - our landlady host for our practices. Not a huge audience (the weather had been putting people of going out all week in the snow and ice) but we did possibly our best overall performance. Dancing in the aisles. Felt good! Everybody happy.
	Sun 5th December 2010 - Afternoon appearance at The Greyhound, Beeston, Notts Part of our 'getting out there and doing stuff' plan. Did four numbers and got the audience jigging about a bit. Not perfect - but all good experience.
	30th October 2010 - Nottingham Yacht Club Halloween Bash New drummer and no rythm guitar - in fact back to our original four-piece plan. Vast improvement on April's gig. Really felt we had got things together much better. Audience dancing almost right from the start and we went down a storm with lots of calls for more encores. Still a few minor errors - but nothing we didn't cover up. An excellent night.
	3rd April 2010 - Nottingham Yacht Club Our inaugural 'test' gig in front of a known audience. Could have been better. Could have been much worse! We did get people up and dancing - much to our pleasure - and got requests for an encore...

This is our current set list - from old standards to punk...	Oh, and our name reflects the fact that we are primarily a 'covers' band, geddit? :-)
