Upcoming Gigs...

Thursday 2nd September - The Bull, Barton Although not officially a Tin Soldier gig, some or all of us will be at these 'open mic' acoustic nights about once a month. It's become a regular event for us, as it's a great way to try out new songs and acoustic tracks in a chilled out environment. It's a friendly place with good beer and a supportive crowd so why not come along and experience Tin Soldier and loads of other great local talent up close and personal? The Bull, Bedford Road, Barton-Le-Clay, Beds First Thursday of each month from 9pm FREE ENTRY

Past Gigs...

Here's my reviews of the last 3 gigs we played: (ie - here's what you may have missed!!)

Sat 17th July - River Festival, Bedford Our biggest gig ever and we were missing two members due to other commitments. Thankfully, stand-in bassist Nick did a cracking job, providing the funk as we played our way through the cream of the Tin Soldier crop. We only had 30 mins on stage anyway but, due to a shocking lack of organisation by the backstage crew, we started over an hour late and were cruelly told 'that's it' after only 25 mins! Despite this, we did manage to play blinding renditions of Cry Out Loud, More Than This, Find You, Everything But the Truth & new song Here Right Now to an appreciative (and growing) audience. All in all an awesome experience. Other bands playing: Far too many to mention Band Review (out of 5):

Sat 3rd July - Gravenhurst Gallup, Gravenhurst We were the entertainment once again at Gravenhurst's premier (and only) outdoor music festival and, as always, it was great fun! We played two sets: the first featuring mainly Diskordian songs, some of which went down very well, and the second we played a Diskover set, which included new songs to us by Scissor Sisters, The Jam & even a funky rendition of Stevie Wonder's Superstition. A fantastic night that saw almost everyone getting down to the grooves by the end of the night. Despite the interruption for fireworks we came back for a furious encore that could not be bettered! Other bands playing: None Band Review (out of 5):

Fri 30th April - Nag's Head, Dunstable Another great night at our regular Dunstable haunt and our first on a Friday. And what a difference it made - the place was packed! We mixed up the covers and originals into both sets, including a first outing for our brand new song More Than This and current single Cry Out Loud. We got a good response from the crowd, including very positive comments from loads of first-time Diskordian audience members! The covers got everyone dancing by the middle of the second set, including the ever popular Power of Love (Huey Lewis & the News) and our first performance here of Mustang Sally. They asked us back again so I guess we're doing something right! Other bands playing: None Band Review (out of 5):
