Mid Life Crisis

About Me

The first idea came, summer 2006 at a BBQ when after a few beers a guitar was brought out for Paul. Andy said he could sing. The plan was to form a band so that we could play the support slot at the Grassington Festival. The rummour at the time was that the headline band was to be either The Levellers or the Proclaimers. Tomo and Jon both played football with the other two and we all meet up for a thrash thru what we knew (not a lot). None of us had played in bands for at least 25 years!!!! Phil was seconded later on, to play on Werewolves of London and has extended his role to play on most numbers now.First gig was 10th Feb 2007 and we got the support slot for the festival, The Sawdoctors are the main band.The Festival gig was FANTASTIC, a crowd of about 600 watched us and boogied. The stagehands were booed when they came on to take our gear away. Not bad for only are sixth gig ever!! Check us out by searching Grassington on youtube2008 saw us playing the Festival again with Toyah and Dr & the Medics.Since then we have played at Ripon Race course and in 2009 will play are third Grassington Festival supporting ELO has beens.
