We are in the middle of our Summer tour of car parks various to raise money for band funds.

Here we see the band trying to keep warm before playing outside Marks and Spencer Hexham for the our first visit to the store.  Sadly we had a few technical problems with our generator so we were without a Bass guitar but we pressed on regardless.

The rain held off for the Northumberland County Show so last years mud had a chance to dry out . Needless to say it was cold and windy being held on a bank holiday monday but we had a lovely time nonetheless.

Keen eyed viewers may have spotted our MD Mr Hignett getting his 10 seconds of fame on Look Norths’ review of the show that evening.  Mr Hignett has it taped and watches it before retiring to bed every night.

It was touch and go at Hexham Regatta with 50mph gusts playing in a howling gale.

Luckily we found a bit of shelter behind the clubhouse.

We had some nice feedback from the organisers who appreciated our efforts.

Just a quick note to thank you and the band for playing at the Regatta.
It really adds to the event and each year we get comments on what a good idea and how lovely it is to have you there.
Although your position this year was forced by the weather conditions I think it actually works better having you just outside the clubhouse.
For all those crews waiting in line carrying a heavy boat , all stressed up with pre race nerves the band is a very relaxing and calming influence.
My daughter was delighted you played Let it Go from Frozen. It made her day!

Well pegged down!
