To earn their “Bread and Butter” money, Mat and Tash play in a covers/function band with a great pianist/bassist called Kirsty Newton. She is extremely talented and is worth seeing (especially when she plays Billy Joel’s “Summer Highland Falls” on the piano).  She is amazing!! 

They play holiday parks, weddings, clubs, pubs, parties… you name it…  if it pays, they do it!!  Sometimes they play in front of 2000 people who thoroughly enjoy it, quite often they play in front of around 300-400 people who are “mad for it”, and sometimes they even play in front of 30 very enthusiastic people!!

If you are interested in booking them for any such event, below is an example of the songs they play.  They know many more, but this will give you an idea:
