🎤 SNAYX + Guests - Bedford Esquires (Ages 14+)
Time: 19:30 Price: £15.40
So they formed SNAYX, originally a two-piece, now a three. For a good chunk of time though, SNAYX was more of an idea than an actual band since the pair were too busy going to as many gigs as possible, rather than working on things like songs.
They'd talk about SNAYX to anyone who would… Last seen ripping up the Esquires stage at Ceremony #3 Festival we have been craving to get the band back to the venue for more of the same.
