Manchester
Hydra are a hard rockin' band who specialise in faithful reproductions of classic rock tunes from the 70's and 80's, whilst trying to avoid the usual "cliche" and "me-too" tracks that most pub rock bands seem to peddle these days. Hear great versions of classic tunes like The Chain, The Stealer, Hammer to fall, You give love a bad name and many more.....
We guarantee there will be absolutely no dodgy renditions of "Teenage Kicks" or "Paranoid": no no no missus, not on your flamin' nellie!!
check out our videos on youtube "Hydra at The Griffin" and "Hydra rock and roll band playing live in Leigh"
