Band Members: Since we formed in 2006, Six Miles Away have played dozens of gigs, mainly in pubs in the Surrey Blues Delta.
Our gigs have gone down a storm with punters and pubs alike - so much so we have always been asked back! Our wide range of music covers all tastes and ages - there's something for everyone with the odd original thrown in for good measure! 100% reliable, we are known for not taking ourselves too seriously. All we want is everyone to leave at the end of the night with a smile on their face! We also host the Thursday night electric blues/rock jam at the Lion Brewery, Ash once every fifth week - for more details check out www.myspace.com/lionbreweryjamTo find out more about the band, click on the pictures below to go to our own myspace pages.Krabbers - Rhythm Guitar, Lead Vocals

Just about any music of quality from the last 50 years or so. Covers - miles away from the originals of course and probably a bit raggedy, put together at speed with minimal rehearsal. We're not a tight band - except when we've been drinkin'! Our titles include, some a tad obscure and covering a wide range, by Neil Young, James, The Zutons, Sinatra, Snow Patrol, Gloria Gaynor, Cockney Rebel, Tears for Fears, Wreckless Eric, Louden Wainwright, Allman Bros., Tito & Tarantula, Primal Scream, Nat King Cole, Elvis, Traveling Wilburys, Bob Dylan, The Animals, Cream, Embrace, Beck, The Verve, Bachman Turner Overdrive, David Bowie, Radiohead, Bruce Springstein, The Clash, Green Day, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jet, The Doors, Nirvana, Paul Weller, Tom Petty, The Dandy Warhols, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Cash, The Clash, Buffalo Springfield, Bryan Adams, The Band, The Velvet Underground, JJ Cale, Eddie & The Hot Rods, Icicle Works, Kings of Leon, Jimmy Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, REM, The Flaming Lips and Creedence Clearwater Revival.Sometimes a little off the beaten track, you'll find our music slips well into the C:ountry R:ock A:coustic P:op musical genres! Basically, we like (some say we are...)
Our approach is, let's have a go - if we fall on our faces in the attempt, so be it; what do you expect? - that's jammin'.
Want to book us? Then message us through MySpace. We are keen to play weekend gigs at pubs and clubs up to Twenty-Six Miles Away (Six Miles Away would be a bit low down on the richter scale!) from our spiritual epicentre in Knaphill (near Woking) - we know we can make the earth move for you!"Six Miles Away belt out the hits..."
