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.

Skamp perform in Monmouth

It was a beautiful sunny journey to the edge of Wales for Skamp on Saturday. We performed at David and Susie's wedding party at the Priory, an old church building in the heart of Monmouth. We had a few issues on the night though: Rob was suffering with a cold, I scratched my car wing mirror and our flood lights stopped working - AH. Despite that, we loved our minced beef and mash supper, Sultans of Swing as requested by the happy couple and the local town pub. Big congratulations to David and Susie, thanks to Kevin for feeding us (see pic) and thanks to the weather for not raining.

New songs on the way

Well Skamp have been busy learning some new tracks, one of which is The Feeling "Never Be Lonely" which we're really excited about. We're also looking to record some new tracks over the next few months plus design and build a new website - so watch this space.

Skamp's first gig of 2011 helps raise £8000 for charity

Well thanks to Lucy and Steph for organising the charity ball in aid of Gloucestershire County Association for the Blind, which at last count raised about £8K which is brilliant. We're always happy to help a good cause. One of the highlights was meeting the onsite photographer, and so Skamp took the opportunity to get some well needed publicity shots - can't wait to see them.

Skamp secure new wedding function booking

Having just about recovered from Christmas, Skamp are back and looking forward to 2011. We have had a bit of a break but managed to learn 3 news songs. It was also great to meet Chris and Kim (see pic) this week and we look forward to playing at their wedding in September.

Skamp secure new Monmouth booking

We're still getting some interest for next year even though it's nearly Christmas. Thanks to David for booking us for his wedding party in April. We've also been busy learning some new tracks and we hope to do some recording over the Winter months, which is always great fun. Anyway, have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year from Skamp.
