Had an approach from Jeff (one of Rick of 45's fame) looking to get a Trib Called Joshua Tree (From oop north booked, but the fee was way over my budget. Could be the same guys. Rick would maybe know more.

They are the same band but they from Scotland. Not seen them but heard them on cd and great band. Jeff manages the band and they are well worth a check out

Best wishes

Yeah, from the North East and Scotland. Not seen them but heard fantastic reports about them. They have recently played the Bee Hive in Lostock and the Moses Gate,

Nigel, tributes travel a long way and I suspect the Landlord at the Beaumont will be paying at least quadruple the normal fee that we get!

Nigel, where's NEWCATLE. Calfs are new cattle - pmsl - only joking pal.

Not noticed that mistake Rick well spotted. Its not suprising I couldnt get out of Graham how much he is paying them from what you say. i think we may have to renogotiate hes had 3 best night takings wise ever when weve been on but our fee well you can guess . It appears Stags and Vulcan have put bands on same night as well could be a split audience. Were at a private party in Clayton Le woods so we wont be going
