Electro80s work hard and the hard work has paid off as they are in big demand.....you get what you pay for!

It still saddens me how the weather spoiled them last time at The Bash........hard to beat but Im a bit biased I suppose!!

I thought Electro 80's were probably the best band at the Bash in recent years. Most of us are at an age where we can look back on that decade with some fondness. As long as it's not country & western, I don't really mind....

"Come Up and See Me" are a great covers band and they do the whole mix of old and new, pop, rock etc, you name it they can do it. They are also local to Stourport so that may be an advantage. I don't know how much they charge. Have a look here http://www.comeupandseeme.co.uk/

Any band sounds great when you've had a few drinks. I'm sure whoever is booked will be good. I think for the money no one should complain.
