Mahoustic is back!

I know - we say it every year. That this will be our last gig! Thing is it's just too much fun. It would be about ten years ago that we first set up the Surf's Up! Band of Rock - we had a different drummer for the first couple of gigs, but ever since it's been the same line up - Wailin on Lead, Andy on Bass, Will on Drums and myself Pete on vocals and guitar (chords only!). It's been a blast. We played quite a lot last year and peaked at the wedding of the daughter of the family who own Weatherspoons. That was a biggun! We went up the night before to set up in the marquee and do a sound check - and we took this new smoke machine. Not sure we got the settings right - the whole marquee filled with thick smoke. It was an anxious few hours waiting to see if it would clear!

We had our first practice of the year last night. And you can check it out!! Lucky you - we ran the video whilst we were playing and it's turned out not so bad. You can get a sneak preview of what happens behind the closed doors of one of the leading Uk Bands...., Cornish bands.... okay Polzeath bands! We are available if you've got a party, wedding or Bar Mitzvah!

"Ladies and Gentlemen we're now going to go back in time and play an Eric Clapton classic. Sunshine Of Your Love. Thank you very much" applause........


"You're too kind! No really, you are too kind!" And now for our next number this is one of our band favourites.... Paul Weller Foot of the Mountain. Thank you!"


"Thank you very much!"
