It's been almost two years since we played The Wheatsheaf in Braunston. The place was packed and it was a great evening. John D was in great form and had the place swinging right from the first number. Added bonus was the availability of great Chinese food .... which Matt took copious advantage of at the end of the evening!

Friday 16th November 2007

A new venue - The Elephant and Castle, Banbury. A boisterous evening was had by all - lots of dancing and fun had by all. Good to see some Live music creeping back into Banbury.

Saturday 10th November 2007

Back to the Red Lion at Hilmorton, Rugby. Thanks to Michael for such a packed venue and a great night as usual

Friday 2th November 2007

Back to the New Inn, Buckingham. What a night - a great atmosphere from the word go and a packed house. This is always a favourite place to play for us - a guaranteed good time and a guaranteed great audience. Special thanks to the landlord Michael for promoting us so well with posters inside and outside. We can't wait to come back again soon.

Friday 26th October 2007

A new venue! The Rifle Butt. A great place - loads of space and really great crowd in. We had a great time and look forward to a return as soon as possible to this great pub.

Friday 12th October 2007

The Plough, Bletchley. Great venue - a night to remember.

Saturday 29th September 2007

The Brave Old Oak, Towcester. This where we practice and it is always fun to play here as the locals know us well and word usually gets out that we are in town. The place was absolutely packed - those that couldn't get in were dancing outside on the pavement! An absolutely amazing night - thanks to all at the Oak for your hospitality on thursday evenings and we hope to back again very soon.

Saturday 1st September 2007

Stanwick Working Men's Club. Back again to play this packed and nicely renovated club. Probably our best night at this popular spot - we had a great sound and John pulled out all the stops to please the enthusiastic Stanwick audience.

Saturday 18th August 2007

The Courthouse, Rugby.  By popular demand - we found ourselves back in Court for this popular gig. It was a quiet night by Rugby's usual standards but we lucky to have such an appreciative crowd. We also debuted some new cover numbers - including 'Radar Love' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again', both of which seemed to strike just the right chord :-)

Saturday 28th July 2007

Harpole Bowls Club - Charity Night in aid of Breast Cancer. Almost cancelled due to bad weather ... fortunately this great event went ahead as planned and we all had a great evening. David kicked the night off by doing his acoustic set and then we got a bit louder!!

Saturday 21st July 2007

A private party in Braunston - we played our longest ever set - all night. Fantastic night.

Saturday 7th July 2007

Great Doddington Working Men's Club. We were glad to be welcomed back to this great venue. A lively and appreciative audience as usual. We're looking forward to a return visit to this great club.

Friday 22nd June 2007

The 39th Bloxham Steam Rally.  We were delighted to be asked to headline this major event in Bloxham. Although the weather was atrocious we did not let that dampen our spirits - and despite the mud everyone had a great time.

Saturday 16th June 2007

The Romany, Northampton. Another great night at the Romany - thanks for coming to see us.

Friday 4th May 2007

The New Inn, Buckingham. This is one of our favourite venues - it's an intimate pub, always packed and always a good crowd. John D was on great form leaping from table tops and even singing outside (again). Thanks for such a great night and we hope to be back again soon.

Saturday 21st  April 2007

As always - a great night at the Red Lion (Hilmorton). A packed house and a great crowd.

Thursday 5th April 2007

We had an absolutely great night  at the Brave Old Oak - dancing in street in fact! John did us proud and took the wireless mike outside in to the street - only to be followed by some of the lively audience! We stopped the traffic in Towcester!!

Saturday 24th March 2007

Another place we haven't played for well over a year! It was good to be back - and with our new drummer Steve. Our plans were somewhat scuppered by the England footie on the big screen but nonetheless - fun was had by all! We're back at the Romany two more times this year - check out the gig dates page for details.

Saturday 17th March 2007

It's been over a year and half since we last played the The Jolly Abbot. Rugby always comes up trumps when it comes to a good audience. An appreciative bunch with some very 'interesting' dancing - thank you Rugby.

Friday 16th March 2007

Wart$ & All are pleased to announce their NEW DRUMMER ..... As some of you know John Taylor parted company with the band in February - he's putting away his drumsticks and packing away his bass drum in order to spend his Saturday nights following less manic pursuits! We wish John all the best and are pleased to hear that he's coming to see us this Saturday at the Jolly Abbot in Rugby.  After a brief period of panic (given the busy Spring gig schedule) - we are pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Garner as our new resident drummer. Steve came for a try out last night and things seemed to gel almost immediately.  Steve's first gig with us will be on the 24th March at the Romany, Northampton. Why not come along and lend us your support.

Saturday 10th March 2007

As always - an appreciative audience. Great venue, great feedback and another gig booked later in the year. Thanks Stanwick!

Saturday 3rd February 2007

We played at the Courthouse, Rugby. A really great pub to play in - lots of room - land a packed house. They were a great audience who really knew how to have a good time. We played two shortish lively sets. We got a great email from the Landlord who wants us back for at least two more dates in the coming months. Dates to be confirmed - watch the gig-dates page for further info.

Saturday 13th January 2007

A place we love playing - The Live and Let Live at Harpole. The house was packed for a private party, we played three sets right up to midnight. Great fun.
