Highly Strung

Formed in 1998 after a successful performance at a local charity event they have developed from friends jamming to a popular function band - experienced on the local pub scene they come into their own at parties - playing classic songs from the early 60's / 70's and a few more up to date tunes your party will soon be rocking - with some audience participation for good measure - a choice of two sound systems gives the flexibility to achieve a great sound from small intimate rooms to large club concert halls - interval music and lighting complements their performance to make your function enjoyable and memorable.
