BORN TO RUN

The Bruce Springsteen tribute band.

These guys are so good that Springsteen himself once played with them on stage. They did us a fantastic gig in 2007, unfortunately the rain was so bad that not many people turned out - which was a shame because it was nice and dry in the tent and the gig was fantstic! Don't forget we carry on wet or dry.
