Live Band Karaoke at Meltdown Festival, London.

This June we were lucky enough to be asked by Guy Garvey (Elbow) to perform our live band karaoke show at the South Bank centre in London as part of his Meltdown Festival.  This was an amazing night giving the chance to the audience to come up and sing with the live band on stage.  Guy opening the night and then the amazing singers just kept on coming.  What an amazing night!IMG_3032

A Yorkshire Home blog feature.

It was fantastic to be a part of this amazing wedding last year and reading this blog http://www.ayorkshirehome.com/lifestyle/how-to-plan-a-wedding-in-3-months/ about the day, we had no idea it was all planned in 3 months!  Amazing work.

It was also really special to be asked to play for Heathers sisters wedding also, a few months later.

 

Good look with the house work Heather and Paul.
