Previous appearances

Much of their work includes major corporate functions, society events and balls such as the Water Rats Ball, Henley Regatta Ball, the Conservative Party Ball and the Variety Club of Great Britain. Premier league football clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and Blackburn Rovers have also caught on to the bands mass appeal.

They have also appeared several times on T.V over the past nine years including the last four series of "Jim Davidson's Generation Game".
