The Owter Zeds started zedding in 1985 from a scratch band called 'Citizen Reg and the Reggieburgers' formed to raise funds for the miners' strikes in '83.
The band plays all original material and has appeared at many events across the North of England. The Zeds also regularly tour the Poitou-Charente region of France during the summer.
Based in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, their support includes people from across the generations. Anyone who enjoys a good time is welcome to come along and and dance to their infectious rhythms and catchy melodies.
The band has seen many changes in its 24 years and currently has 8 full time members. Drums, bass, guitar, guitar & keyboards, trumpet, saxophone, trombone and vocals.
Watch out for the Zeds' 25th anniversary - not so far away. Skankers!!
