Cocktail-ROCK | Insomnia

Cocktail-ROCK     

- Rock, Blues, Country, Pop and Punk - & played quietly (if that's how you want it)

Cocktail-Rock was created through a discussion about what  sort of music and entertainment North Wilts Golf Club needed after a professionals' tournament.  As we described what we might do, the idea of playing at cocktail lounge jazz volume together with the  play-list from a rock band came together.  Cocktail-ROCK  was developed.  We'll never live that one down - ROCK?.....Golf-Club?!

The band has now matured more over time and on this website you'll be able to find out more about the instruments we play,  the play-list and planned songs, and how to get hold of a CD so some sound files of non-copyright materials so you can tell what we sound like. 

There's also some of the other options we've put together like Cocktail-ROCK -LOUD   for those party events where you may want more musicians or to hear us 500 yards away!

We do weddings, parties, social events, conferences and exhibitions, in fact anywhere that rock music is needed - but at volumes where people can still socialise or perhaps do some business.  We even get out on the street occasionally, as we did for the Devizes Christmas Festival organiser in 2004, again in 2005 and 2006 

Costs depend on duration, distance from Devizes, and the instruments and equipment we need on the day.  But get in touch and discuss and ask for the demo CD so you'll hear what we're like.

Here's a play-list of what we're currently performing, and rehearsing:
