Telephone: 07970 566828 or 01327 704708
Sax and Drums and Rock and Roll - A 5 piece band who play a wide variety of songs featuring a soul / bluesy / rock n roll bias. Nothing too modern of course, mostly from the 60's, 70's and a few from the 80's, possibly even the odd one from the 90's. Rumours abound about breaking in to the 21st century with songs in the set, but are as yet only whisperings. We mainly play in and around Banbury / Northants / Warwickshire, but will gladly venture anywhere we're welcomed.
