About us
We love music, and with every show we like to make it inclusive, so there’s something for every age and nationality.
The music is eclectic with a broad range of genres, and some quirky surprises! Our performances have a ‘vintage’ feel, with the props, lighting and attire. You may have noticed that we quite like dinosaurs too!
In the beginning...
It all started in 2009 when Martin and Tom teamed up and performed at after-show parties for theatres, where we wanted to do something unique with a theatrical twist. People liked it, and started booking us for festivals and private parties… the rest is history!

Martin
Involved with live music and DJing for over twenty years, and his first show was for an orchestra ball. As musicians they had diverse tastes in music, and in many this ways paved the way for his shows today.
Brought up on a diet of Classical, Folk & Rock & Roll, and has a love for world music and music history. He discovered a lot of amazing music while travelling and working as a music journalist, and is always on the look out for great music.
He has a passion for restoring vintage cars, especially P4 Rovers (105R’s if you’re into this kind of thing!), history, Morris dancing, exploring remote parts of Africa, has a pet tortoise and enjoys trying out breweries and tea rooms!
Martin is a website designer, and also deals with the bookings/admin, and welcomes you to get in contact if you have an event brewing!
Tom
DJ-ing for over twenty years Tom has toured from Southampton to New Zealand and many roads between, with live percussion adding an expressive, improvised and fresh slant on the show.
He has been involved in music all his life, and has released tracks on record as The Uplifter, specialising in Reggae, Dub and Ska.
Tom is also well known for his dinosaur collection, which make a regular appearance spinning on record decks at shows!
He also loves fishing, skate-boarding, theatre, camping, traveling, live music, nutella, history, classic cars, and also loves trying out various tea rooms!
