The Berettas

About Me

The Berettas are a four piece band from York. Very simply it's drum & bass, guitars & voice.
The Berettas came together from 3 ex bandmates (Adam, Jim, Jason) getting together to writesome tunes and by chance (or fate?) bumping into (literally bumping into) a drummer (Dan) on adrunken night out on the mean streets of York.
The Berettas write music they like.
The Berettas are nice people (most of the time).
The Berettas are taking a short break towards the end of the year to write some more tunes andare 'going for it' in 2008.
The Berettas would love you to listen to their music.
The Berettas would love to hear what you think.
The Berettas would love you to come to a gig.
The Berettas thank you for reading this.
The Berettas are going to stop writing ' The Berettas' before everything.
