A really good night out. We always know were appreciated by the number of naked chests in Lip Up Fatty and this was a room FULL of naked men.

It was our honour to be part of this fundraising evening and we hope targets were met.

Daz the Bone is ex forces and all military charities are close to his heart. When we were asked to help The Golden Lion Pudsey who were holding their annual festival in aid of Battle Buddy he was all in. Unfortunately the short notice (14 hours to be exact) meant that we couldn’t put out a full compliment and were missing Dave the Sax and Ironman Rich. We still managed a pretty decent 45 min set and had a few up on the virtual dance floor. It was straight after a real heavy couple of sets at The Irish Centre the night before. We had to pack down in quick time as we were then off for another 2 sets at Featherstone SC fundraiser for one of their members who is ill.

Thanks to the sound guys who did a sterling job.

This was our first self promoted event. We were told to expect around 100 people as we are a relatively new band and that’s were we set our bar. We actually had over 250 and what a night, luckily they were able to give us the rest of the room and open a second bar.

It was fantastic to see some friends and and family up on the floor enjoying themselves. The audience was so receptive, some never sat down and danced to every number.

It was certainly one of our best nights yet and one we will be looking to repeat in the near future.

2RRF were amazing hosts for this fantastic night. We literally rocked the stage which seemed to bounce around the field. Pete (theSound) did a great job and we finished the night playing in the dark. The audience were amazing, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy the night.

Here’s looking forward to an invite back next year.

The guys in the band are all about ‘giving when you can’. We have elected to perform at at least 4 charity functions each year. We aim to help raise money for some really good causes and this one was for the Air Ambulance. They require almost £12,000 per day to keep two helicopters in the air.

The bands that perform at this festival are normally Folk/Rock/Indie so when The 2 Tone Project hit the stage the crowd were a little taken back. All our numbers are foot tappers at the least and we managed to drag quite a few onto the dancefloor.

The feedback from the audience was fantastic and they have already asked us back. So if you missed us, you know where to go Next year.

This was a great performance for a private birthday party for Wimpey. We know he was pleased because he bought the band a round of drinks. The weather was glorious and we hope that we made someones birthday that little bit more special.

Has to go down as one of the best audiences we’ve entertained in ages. 3-400 people ( it was hard to tell as they never stood still). A short set because the festival over ran a little, but a great set non the less.

We had em’ skankin in the marquee, skankin in the street and skankin inside the pub. A great last minute step in as headline act.

We are secretly looking forward to it next year…

What a fantastic gig. Phil,Paula and the team looked ater us like royalty we felt a bit out of the loop when everyome turned up in fancy dres, but well be ready nex time

A great place for us to play, but unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side and decimated our audience just before the break. A mad half hour fitting the sides to the marquee kept us dry for the second set. Not withstanding the rain, the second set still filled the dance floor with some of our more ardent fans.

Our ‘face from the crowd’ competition winner from Platform 3 – Dewsbury was in the crowd so we must be doing something right.

See you all at the next one and dont forget to check out our Facebook and Instagram Pages

The Shoulder of Mutton, Mirfield

WOW!!!! what a gig! we were so well looked after and so well appreciated the whole band left buzzing. The floor was packed from the sound check. The ENTRY OF THE NUTTY BOYZ was amazing. Phil, Julian it was a pleasure to play and we can’t wait until next year when we are certain to join in the fancy dress.

One of our most rockin’ gigs so far, one people will remember for all sorts of different reasons. There was no standing room left in the place. There are so many videos of the night its taking an age to sort them and upload, just so we get everyone’s ‘best side’.

A pretty packed stage at Duke William with The 2 Tone Project following 2 singers who were both great. We didnt have a huge 2 tone crowd, but we still managed to drag them on the floor.

Despite the football we had a pretty decent crowd tonight. We smashed two really great sets and filled the dancefloor all night. Our hosts were second to none and we were in the lushest green room ever. Big up and thanks to Ellen and Ian for looking after us. Cant wait to come back in September.

What a great gig today. Outside gigs are always a challenge but we were so well looked after and the audience was terrific. Lip up Fatty usually goes down well and todays rendition was no exception. A little too much bare skin but everyone was up dancing.

A great gig tonight at New Farnley. We managed to fill the dance floor despite some sound issues whilst we searched for a dodgy cable.

After a terrific performance from the cadets and some really amazing singing we managed to raise over £1000 for the cadets to spend on New Instruments. Lets hope we can see some of them in the band in the future.

The fabulous Tickles Music Hall have booked us for three slots this year.
