such a powerful force on our live band scene

5 stars - The School Band are Highly Recommended
booked The School Band for their event

““Closing out in Bedworth was live band attraction . We Will Rock You they sang and these guys certainly were well worth sticking around for. As the name suggests there is a scholastic aspect here as all four guys in the band were dressed as schoolboys. Songs from Queen and The Kaiser Chiefs, all played completely live, were belted out by four guys with the image, the musicianship and the punchy approach to pull off the impression of a slightly anarchic and edgy band, who provide such a powerful force on our thankfully still burgeoning live band scene.” Mark Ritchie The Stage”
