THERE CAN'T BE MANY BANDS WHO PUT THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO EVERY GIG WITH THE POWER AND ENERGY WHICH CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS ROCK N ROLL AT ITS BEST. 17 YEARS OF HARD WORK AND THE BOYS ARE STILL A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH.

KEITH HAS A BIG BULLET HEAD ROYAL ENFIELD. ALAN HAS A TRIMPH THUNDERBIRD AND 2 ROYAL ENFIELDS. SIMON HAS A BSA THUNDERBOLT.

AFTER A FEW DAYS OF BUSKING IN RAMSGATE HIGH STREET THE BAND BECAME EXPERIENCED ENOUGH AND THE DECISION WAS MADE TO DO SOME GIGS.
