The Twist

Taking no more bookings...Save yer fingers!

About Me

The Twist was a marvellous musical extravaganza that ran from January 2004-September 2007 at Oliver's Music Bar in Greenwich, London. Occasionally it ran to the city as well, but that was a long way home. Anyone who was anyone played at the Twist, as well as quite a few who weren't. Of course, everyone is someone, but some are more anyone than others! The Twist would like to thank all our performers...except those who gave us the hump! There weren't too many of those. Naturally, we aren't taking any more bookings, so as a result, there will be a prize for the first multi-purpose tool who sends us a message asking for a gig! Read the bio! Ta ta. Leave yer f*ckin' coat at home, you're not playin' down The Twist!Create or get your
