Thanx for the friend request! Nice to have met you guys at The RACPA gig last Saturday! We thought it was a great set and would have loved to hear more! Hope to meet you soon. We must do some gig swaps too! In fact there are a couple of festivals in our area next summer, that we could get you on.... plus a quaint little venue (it IS Shropshire after all!!) or two in the coming year which we could get you up to do?! If you possible can, see if you can get to our gig at The Purple Turtle on Sunday November 1st, then we can have a chat about swappage and stuff! Would be great to see you there..... bring a crowd if you possibly can, as we know NO-ONE down your neck of the woods!!! :-) Cheers guys, Love and Peace from SheBangg
We have just posted the gig review blog and thought you might like to see what we had to say about you ....
The guys were the first band up for us...travelling all the way up from London to play...and what a set they gave us! Full of power and energy...Rob, Will and Ben took the stage and made it theirs...not surprisingly as they have played Glastonbury a couple of times now as well as supporting some amazing bands...giving us a set of originals and covers (You have to listen to their version of Lucky Number!!) that had everyone paying attention! The powerful lead vocal was matched by the great backing of melodic voice and amazing instrumentation that was the signature of the whole set...one which I personally wished could have been a little longer...next time maybe guys...wadya say!! And not only are they great musicians...but really cool guys with some great ideas about the power and influence of music...and how it can be used in a constructive way...which I found out for myself during the course of a very interesting conversation!
But don’t take my word for it...go have a listen for yourself...I guarantee it will be worth your time!!
Thanks again for coming out to play in support of our work guys...and for
Hi guys/new friends! Just dropping by to wish you all a great weekend. Hopefully not only wind and rain but just a little bit of sunshine will be good for us humans.
