Anyone that has seen the 'Mad Mods' live will tell you that they are no traditional covers band. Their energetic performances have built them a massive following and they have a reputation of packing every venue they play at, and then bringing the house down!

The band will be playing 2 sets with no support on the night, doors open at 7:30pm with the band hitting the stage around 8.30pm.
“These guys are as good a feel-good band as you’ll experience. Just make sure you do experience them”
