Favourite gigs we've played:

It's annoying cos I have just read Andy's and they would probably be the same as mine! But I can’t put the same so…

I enjoy the local home gigs, you get a good atmosphere with all your friends and family there!

Totally random gigs like 'The Den' in Rushden are good fun. We played there not knowing what to expect however managed to sell all the t-shirts then went home with orders for more.

From the early days the Cambridge band competition was pretty sweet as we came joint first with 2 other bands out of over 170 bands! The gig itself was awesome… The Cambridge Junction was packed!

Favourite gigs been to:

Metallica's Death magnetic release party @ London O2 - 2009

Therapy? @ London Astoria - 2004 or 5 I think!

Green Day - When they use to be good!! @ Brixton academy - 1998 I think!
