..........................Big Vern 'n' The Shootahs say "We dont take ourselves too seriously which certainly comes across in our live shows we are not shy some would say in-yer-face all accomplished musicians collectively having fun and getting on with it we aim to please and dont miss and hit the wall we strive to be live and love the vibe that an audience enjoying themselves throws back at us
"We pride ourselves on bringing all the fun of the Big Vern circus 100% to town be it, at our own advertised shows, corporate functions, weddings, car launches, open air festivals, local and national radio and T.V events, and many other bespoke events which we have enjoyed being a part of all over the U.K. and Europe"
"If you simply want a live jukebox then you should really be looking elsewhere but, if you are looking for a band to set your event on fire then Big Vern are your boys......."
Big Vern - This is what we do......!
