The Firebyrds play a range of covers in a bluesy style as well as several of our own funked up songs. We are influenced by thumping blues, smooth jazz, soul and rockabilly.
An experienced band we tend to play in pubs and for several local festivals and we are also available for private hire.
We think we're ideal for a mixed audience - playing such a varied set list means that there's a bit of something for everyone, a good atmosphere for a dance and we enjoy a good laugh as well.
