  Past gigs

The music we play is rooted firmly in the blues but includes elements of country and soul. Our material is diverse, including a few classic blues songs along with a selection of self-penned numbers.

We are firm believers in the power of live music and the art of not playing songs exactly the same way every time. With hundreds of gigs under our collective belt the interplay between us is almost telepathic. Other bands come and go but the Toads are still here, entertaining people and having a good time.
