Hootenany 2017!

Saturday was the night, the night for all to descend upon the Mill and join us in a massive musical celebration. 5 singers, 6 bassists, 3 drummers, 7 guitarists and one harmonic-ist (?!?) gave us the biggest and best Hootenanny so far. Thank you to everyone who came, this would never be an event like it without your support.

If you have photos of the night that you’d like to share with us, please do send us a message. I think we may have seen a tiny fraction of the photos from the night so far!

Photos from The Mill

Friday nights photos from The Mill. Simon definitely got a little too attached to that hair, regardless of how hot it was!!! A fantastic gig with a smidge of fundraising for Salisbury Live. Dave Hitchins kindly stepping in on bass and Lea on guitar.

Pictures from Qudos – Sept 2017

As you may have seen from the videos posted yesterday, Saturday nights gig at Qudos was fantastic. Always love playing here as it’s always a brilliant crowd, and Saturday didn’t disappoint! The crowd were dancing and singing right from the soundcheck! Thank you everyone who came, and hope to see you again soon. Our next gigs are at The Crown in Ludgershall on Friday 29th, and The New Inn in Amesbury on the 30th.

The Plough – Durrington

On Friday, we had a rare boys night only at The Plough in Durrington. A great night was had, but we had an interesting chat with someone before we started… A fan of the band, she said she has seen us a few times including at Music in the Rec earlier this year. “In fact, you wished me a happy birthday!”. And if you head over to http://www.breakcoverband.com/listen/ and click “Stop Breaking Down Blues”, you can hear it as well! Thanks for having us, and hopefully will be back there soon!

Odiham Live Music Club

What a great gig! It is a little out of our normal beaten track, well, for most of us… But a great night was had. It is always going to be a good night when you have such an appreciative audience!!! Thank you to Rich Page for warming the crowd up for us, and to Col Redfearn for looking after us, and hope to see you all again sometime soon.

Durrington Live CD!

As you might have seen on the youtube videos, we did quite a bit of recording at Durrington’s Music in the Rec gig. In fact, we had three cameras and a digital recording desk running secretly underneath the main mixer! The benefit of that, is that we have made a proper Live CD! Please do have a word with Ken on the sound desk at the next gig for a CD, but if you want to listen to it now, just hit play below and turn it up loud!
