This tight 5-12 member outfit has been delighting Towersonians for more than a decade…. touring even as far as Shabbington.
Led by Ken, the rhythm section powers the band with their characteristic driving syncopated beat. The middle ground is led by guitar Matt, linking seamlessly with Ian Keys and Jonny Rocks. Marky number 1 trumpet, if not touring, will be making up the brass section. At the front, Will, Sarah and Jim might have actually invented Rock n Roll and never fail to deliver. Rumour has it a sensational new vocal talent might be added to this star spangled line up.
After a break in which they explored their musical differences, No Direction re-unites for this unique event. The question is….. can this once mighty super group deliver as they once could?
