The ‘Warm Space’ reopened with a delicious meal and songs from us. We did some classic upbeat 60s songs. The audience and staff were so helpful and it was great fun all round.

Although this was a technically a Monday night Jam, It was a new venue for us, We tapped into their PA sytem and off we went.

This was our second time and we had the honour of opening the show. We did 6 well known songs of the 60’s and 70s.

Some of the group went on to play in other acts, later on in the show.Trearddur Bay Village Hall. 21-22 July 2024
This was to aid the Save the Children summer fair. We played on two days in a marquee (which we erected alongside the village Hall.) This was great fun from start to finish. half were on one side of the tend and the other half on the other side. We met the organiser Alison, an amazing woman and some of her team. and we were all given tea and cakes. As it turned out we played Friday night, Saturday and Sunday afternoon and again on Monday night. We were well and truly shattered.Gwelfor Community Centre. 16 July 2024
