They have have performed at various venues, pubs, clubs including Bedford Oxjam, Danny’s Bar at Esquires in Bedford, LutonAid, the Balstock Music Festival in Baldock, Wilkestock near Stevenage, Rhythms of the World in Hitchin, The Stables in Wavendon near Milton Keynes and The Hat Factory in Luton to name but a few.

Second up is Lana Rose a young up and coming singer songwriter from Buckinghamshire. She plays various instruments including the guitar, drums, ukulele and is learning the piano.
