Dip

DIP were formed in the summer of 1998 by brothers Daz and Scott Lawson after teaming up with beverage supping buddy Craig Reynolds with the aim to create something fresh, distinctive & imaginative. The band drew on influences from the likes of Supergrass, Curtis Mayfield, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Jellyfish, Bowie, Faith No More, Albert King, T Rex and Blur etc but maintained their punkish attitude & twat-ish sense of humour - all big guitars smothered in a cheapo plastic pop coating.

Yankee and the Foreigners

From humble beginnings in 2015, Yankee & The Foreigners got their start busking in animal onesies at the Boston Common, and grew their sound from there. Y&tF indulges many aspects of "indie folk" music, which can take you from a relaxing cabin deep in the woods to a wild barn dance in a matter of minutes. Their sound is a combination of pop songwriting, American roots music (complete with soaring five part harmonies), and the carefree attitude that was bound to come from 5 college students parading around the public in pajamas. They liken their sound to what might've happened if Old Crow Medicine Show tried to be Half Moon Run, with a dash of the modern alt-folk movement carved by Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers. Y&tF has generally always had a larger international presence than a U.S. one (fitting for a band made up mainly of foreigners) as they have toured Canada and the U.K. relatively consistently over the course of their career together.

Sack Sabbath

Sack Sabbath are the UK's finest, longest serving and most authentic tribute to the original masters of metal, Black Sabbath.

Sack Sabbath were formed in 2002, and in the past decade have delighted audiences across the UK and Europe with their stunning take on the classic era of Black Sabbath. Playing only the very blackest of Sabbath from the classic years 1970-78, they deliver a powerhouse performance with every song reproduced to perfection by some of the finest rock musicians in the UK and fronted by the best Ozzy impersonator in the business bar none.

And lets face it-you don't get better recommendations than from the Black Sabbath road crew! "I worked for the real Sabbath and they are like the real thing, you don't have to close your eyes, because Ozzy Oddbin has got it off to a Tee,, I go to their shows because it reminds me of all the fun I had with the real thing great night out, we love you allllllllllllllll" Les Martin ex stage & production manager, Black Sabbath. 1970-78
