Diskover branch out into weddings!

Tin Soldier's alter-ego, Diskover are now available to book for your wedding/birthday/any other excuse for a party. After a successful debut wedding gig last summer, we have several other bookings coming up this year.
Anyone who's seen us perform under the Diskover banner (basically Tin Soldier with the addition of Mel (Ric's wife) on vocals/flute) will know that we aim to please by choosing tracks that will tempt almost anyone to the dance floor. We play popular rock and pop covers from the 1950s to the modern day.

If you are interested in booking the band for your function, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.

Another branch of this website, dedicated to Diskover, is now online. Just click the link at the top of the page!

Tin Soldier is born!

(Diskordian change their name)

The music remains the same, only the name has changed...

After nearly 11 years of Diskordian, the band have decided to change their name! Our name for the last decade was dreamt up by Nic Rutherford (see Meet the Band if you weren't lucky enough to know us when he was the bassist!) and was based on a spoof religion, known as 'Discordian'. We changed the spelling and the rest is history...
However, some of us were never that happy with the name and, after advise from several music bigwigs (who thought we were a heavy metal band), we decided that a change of name might be the way forward.
So, as of April 2009, we will be known as Tin Soldier . The name is taken from the title of our second album and will hopefully help to promote us in a more positive light.

We're likely to stick with Diskordian for local gigs as we've built a bit of a name for ourselves but, whenever we play in London or other places further afield we'll be known as Tin Soldier .
So, we apologise for any confusion caused but promise the music will go on!
