Cheltenham wedding band double audition

Many thanks to James and his bride to be (pictured here) for meeting up with us last night. We had another couple visiting later on in the evening so time was short. We cracked on and played a handful of our top songs - we we're pleased to say that James decided to book us for his wedding reception at the Daffodil in Cheltenham next year. Result! Straight afterwards, we had Rob and his wife pop in to see us despite nearly getting lost on the way to our rehearsal room. They are having a 70th birthday party in June so wanted a good covers band to entertain the evening guests. They also agreed to book us, so that's two outta two for Skamp. It's looking to be quite a busy year so we'd better get back to it - until next time.

Gloucester party band play Ellensborough Park

We were quite late starting due to the speeches over running but Skamp are used to setting up quickly. We started the evening with Take That's Rule the World as requested by the happy couple. We did Gary Barlow proud. The party goers danced all night long... Well until 12.30. It was great to perform at Cheltenham's first 5 star hotel. Bye for now.

Gloucestershire Band dep keyboards

Many thanks to Glenn for popping over to meet and play with us this week. Looking forward to performing with him in August as our regular keyboard player Steve will be away. Glenn has a wealth of experience having previously toured with Killer Queen a successful tribute act.

Gloucestershire Party Band

Our first gig of 2012 at Puckrup Hall was most enjoyable. The stage was a bit tight for all the band but it made a fine drum riser for Mark. The audience was a Harley Davidson organisation, so we made sure we performed a few classic biker tracks. Thanks to Cathleen for booking us. See you next year guys.

Skamp party

Four members of Skamp enjoyed a few drinks last night. Mark, Steve, Clare and Rob attended. Rob brought along his new ukulele and wowed us with some tunes. He's only had it 5 minutes and already is a master. Steve finished off the eve with a bit of card magic that blew us away. Still can't work out how it did it...

Skamp secure Harley-Davidson gig

That's right Skampsters. Thanks to Cathleen and her husband, who are members of a local owners club, we've been asked to perform at next year's get together. We gather they like Rock music so there should be plenty of 'Route 66' and 'Born to be Wild'. We'll post some photos when after it happens.

Party band Skamp hit Pensford

We all eventually found the venue, with Adam ending up in the middle of nowhere, and discovered a force ten gale blowing through the farm site - it was chilly! The good news was that the sound limiter didn't activate until midnight so that helped. The highlights: Bare chested men singing an All Blacks song, two disco divas took the stage to sing a medley of... erm hits, lots of crazy dancing and a tasty pig roast. Thanks for a great night Charlotte and Dan and all the best for the future.
