About Me

Presently, The Runaway Days are in a state of constant change and for the last 12 months the band has had something of a transient population. We're trying to hammer out some form of permanent line up, but presently its a case of who we can get when we can get them, but what a ride it's been! The Drummer and Bassist you hear on the tracks on this page (And on the album) are Alex and Nicky Holmes, two of the founder members of the band, however, due to health issues, they've both taken some time out...Alex perhaps permanently, but we're all hoping Nicky makes a full recovery and can stand up with us again sometime in the future. Maker Festival saw a new line up which will certainly be repeated at every possible opportunity (See left Panel), we're in the proccess of uploading some video footage of the event, should be with you in a few days time. Matt Tyler and Jerry McCarthy are currently working on a two piece acoustic duet which will be showcasing in the Chichester area, watch this space for gig dates.

If you enjoy what you see and hear, please leave a comment and if you would like to see the band live, check the gig calendar for all of The Runaway Days up and coming gig's, your support on this journey is much appreciated

Thanks for stopping by to visit our space.
The warmest place by the fire is always saved for the story teller....

Along this path, together we shall tread.
