One mains plug hole.

We have state-of-the-art equipment, vintage Gibson / Fender guitars, vintage Ludwig drums, and a 1000w Yamaha PA system with fold-back.

We do bring some lights from time to time but we find we don’t really need them to add to our performance.

Where it is and what time you want us on.

If you book Below the Border for your party, the band will be the last thing you’ll need to worry about.

We can provide music for you before we go on, during our break and afterwards. Or you can plug your playlist into our PA system.

We also have a great support act that you can book separately through us for £50 - if you want.

He’s an old friend called Dave Bridges. He plays good acoustic guitar and sings sweetly performing Laurel Canyon gear from our era ….Joni, Graham Nash, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Bayez, David Crosbie, Fairport, Dylan, etc.

Greatest party dance-song of all time? Twist & Shout? Alright Now? . . . We know how to pick dance floor fillers.

Two of us started gigging when we were 14. When we were 16 we joined a very special band in Birmingham (Spellbound) and our second ever gig was supporting Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames! That was in 1975.

As for our gigging experience since ….. everything from tiny gigs to music pubs to town halls, universities, big stage festivals, touring abroad, etc.

These days our favourite bookings are appearing at small private parties, celebrations in village halls, summer garden parties, beer festivals at bucolic pubs, weddings. etc.

We don’t set performance times. You’re the customer. You tell us performance times! We’re very easy going.

Most clients want two sets of between 45 minutes in an hour each; but we are flexible.

Yes we get a lot of gigs playing at people’s garden parties in the summer. We’ve played weddings in the grounds of Jacobean mansion houses and parties in tiny back gardens (which tend to be more fun!). Last year we were directed to a random field on the South Downs to play at a Travellers wedding - lovely gig!

We will learn your favourite song for you if it fits. We can learn anything and make it sound exactly the same as the original.

E.g: We did the Christmas party for His Majesty’s Royal Artillery in 2022 and they wanted Slade’s “Well here it is Merry Christmas”. We loved learning it and have kept in the set for Christmas time.

What folk say most is how much we sound like all the different artists we cover. We get lovely compliments everywhere we go and we love that.

A taste taken from a few our many reviews:-

“They had us all transfixed and dancing within seconds. Their good humour, enthusiasm and pure musicianship, made everyone watching feel like Glastonbury veterans by the end of the performance. I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“Outstanding players with great harmony vocals”

“What a band! Five absolutely fantastic musicians playing music that we all know and love. Right from the very beginning people were up and dancing right up to the last encore.”

“Fab song choices. Incredible musicians”

“Really friendly guys, who played all the classics, and even welcomed my dad up to play the drums. Everyone had a fab night and would definitely book them again”

“ …. they were brilliant musicians one and all and kept everyone dancing until well after midnight. We were AMAZED at how much we paid”
