Polar Bears


We play a wide range of gigs. We do pubs, rugby clubs, nightclubs, private functions weddings etc etc. As you can imagine the audiences are very,very different.
With that in mind, our set on the night is tailored towards a specific audience.
We need to stress this, as if you came to see us with a view to booking us for your wedding and saw us first in a pub you might not think the songs we played were appropriate, But don’t worry, in a wedding the songs we play would be far more appropriate to the function. Weddings differ because of the age difference, but we have a punt and it works well.

To give you an example, if you came to see us in a pub, you wouldn’t hear Mustang Sally. No way butty! Similarly if you were at a Wedding, it is very doubtful you would hear us play Anarchy in the UK or Enter Sandman. Got me?
