Waiting to get your tickets on the door??

When you’ve got a full time job and kids to feed but you still wanna make some class music! 👌

We are The Rafters, from various little towns in Lancashire, and we’ve taken musical matters into our own hands! 🙏

Desperate to get back into the recording studio we’ve hired out the local social club and given them the night off the usual bingo and 40th birthday doo’s. 🪩 🥴 🙌

We’ve spoken to a bunch of our mates who all play in some crackin’ bands and they’ve very kindly agreed to support us for the equivalent of a few pints a piece!

We’re charging £10er for a ticket to watch 4 hours of live music and hoping the club has a belter of a night over the bar! 💰 💰 These clubs are really important to small towns like ours and they need our support as much as we need theirs.

Between the 4 of us we’ve got more mortgages, car repayments and nursery fees than we’d care to mention and a shortage of record deals. So we’re doing what we do best and putting on a hell of a night to fund our music without upsetting the Mrs!

If you’re looking to support a real, honest, hard working northern band then you’ve come to the right place. Get your dancing shoes on and join us.

Saturday 23rd May in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire 6.30pm.

Joined by;
-Billy n The No Mates
-Brodie and The Binmen
-Small Town Radicals.

Tickets are available over the bar or on SKIDDLE via the link in our profile description.

See you there! 🙏
