Playing a selection of acoustic covers of classic tunes.

Iain and Warren, lifelong friends, first met (and subsequently seduced) Fran at an open mic night in 2013. Their impromptu jam session was literally remarkable prompting the decision to take the act to a wider audience. Their first gig was to a bunch of windsurfers at the Avon Beach Classic Windsurf Festival, where the only thing less reliable than the wind was their amp. They are the embodiment of fun in the sun, bringing their beach vibes and infectious energy to every stage they grace.
