The boys regularly tour to Dubai, Spain, Poland, France and the Middle East.

They have also enjoyed 2 summer season at Butlins and have regularly appeared at their themed adult weekends. The band’s energetic 100% live show entertains crowds of all ages, performing a wide range of music to suit all tastes.

Late 2007 the boys were involved in ‘The Chesney Hawkes Xmas Cracker’ event raising £24,000 for The White Lodge Centre. The band have also performed to raise money for The Tsunami Appeal, Scope, Cancer Research, Comic Relief, Save the Children and many more. Jamie is also involved in charitable Schools tour encouraging young people to get involved in music which he does free of charge.
