an all-singing three-headed Hydra with stinging guitar, growling deep-end and a kinetic Rhythm & Blues backbeat liiable to go walkies at any moment
"Hidden Masters cite influences from Buddy Holly to Black Sabbath, but what we actually hear is glorious late sixties-esque garage, psych rock/pop done in a way that easily appeals to good music lovers of today." (The List)
This Sunday.... THE FIVE ACES ROCKIN’ DANCE PARTY.

The Privates Hammond Orchestra will be appearing live and in person at our favourite boozer Blackfriars this Sunday 14th at 9pm. Private Duncan's chat will be even more inspired and sparkling than usual...
Come and stare at our privates. In fact nay, come and dance and avoid looking anywhere in the direction of the stage this saturday, The Privates play 2 short sets for girls to dance to and DJs play great tunes in between. Great Googa Mooga.... It's a rocking and rolling, soulful dancefloor R&B filled night of great music from the 50s and 60s. McChuills, High Street Glasgow.... Saturday 9pm - 12pm 1st approx 10pm. Free entry.
It's a sad reality. I'm really upset it didn't come together.... there are hopes to do something a bit further down the line in a similar vein. Hopefully that will come together :(
