Once upon a time...
There lived a young group of people, people of passion, and belief, and they played the most beautiful and inspirational music that the world had seen. But enough about Wham, let's talk about Playing Away. A band of eight youngsters, all up for an offbeat laugh, with a tendency to not do things by the book. Seven musicians and Tom Syson are coming to a town near you soon, very soon if you're an attractive young female.

At first glance, it would be easy to dismiss Playing Away’s sound as derivative of the ska-pop-punk sound that predominated ska’s 1990’s surge. However, once you start listening to the band in a bit more in depth, you realize that these guys have some serious musical chops with an inspiring attitude and crowd pleasing front, using a variety of licks riffs and stomps they fuse together perfectly. To add to the musical/performance abilities these guys are organised and a pleasure to work with. We’ll have them play a Winkykoke event anytime.

Bedford isnt exactly over run with ska bands and Playing Away are fast becoming an entertaining act.

They are all talented musicians and if possessing talent was a crime then this band would be in court every week!
