Tundra, Bristol Videos

On 9th October, Ian and Mark are cycling 1000 miles over 14 days from Lands End to John 'o Groats on a very special challenge to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association charity. Supported by Guy driving the sponsored support van, we are gigging EVERY night at 14 venues across the UK! www.justgiving.com/page/lejog2legig

Last video post from Saturdays gig at the Lord Raglan pub, 'Never Tear Us Apart'. Our first visit to this small venue but a lovely reception from everyone - thank you and see you again later in the summer. We always appreciate everyones support wherever we play. Our next scheduled public gig is on Friday 28th July at the Ring 'O Bells, Coalpit Heath.

'A Kind of Magic' is one of our biggies - massive sound and, we think, Tundra at our best!

We've been playing this number for years but are frightened to drop it from the set in case there's a riot because it is so popular!!!! 😂

Possibly our youngest fan - it was so lovely to see this little girl enjoying our music tonight and wow, was she a fabulous natural dancer - watch out Strictly!! (Posted with permission from parent)

It's not Saturday night Mark, it's THURSDAY night!😁 Music starts 9.00pm 🎹🎸🥁

Never fails to get the crowd skanking 🎼🎷

Great atmosphere 👏 filmed by the ambidextrous IJM 😁

A couple of crackers here from INXS & Elton John that show our 'tender' side - 'NEVER TEAR US APART' and "ROCKET MAN' both really enjoyable to perform and demonstrate Mark's talents on saxophone and also his vocal abilities. (Keyboards aren't bad either! 😁)

'JUMP' by Van Halen is an opportunity for me (Ian) to sit high in the mix - but equally, there is a top class lead guitar performance by Guy hiding in the shadows over the other side of the stage, brilliant drum and bass by Ant & Karl and of course Mark's amazing lead vocals - Tundra at our best 😉

We can forgive our drummer Ant for a couple of false starts on the tricky drum intro to 'CALL ME' - he is a perfectionist and since he joined the band he has absolutely transformed our beat - and this song is an opportunity for him to show what a talented vocalist he is too.

'STAND BY ME' by Oasis is now a bit of an anthem after it was used on tv adverts and so always a popular singalong.

If any song shows the power of Tundra and the talent in the band it's Pink Floyd's 'COMFORTABLY NUMB' - a massive sound and a fan favourite - also an opportunity for Guy to show his talents (and get us supper..)

Guy does a great job on Stevie Ray Vaughn's 'THE HOUSE IS A ROCKIN' and when he sings lead vocals its actually the one time during gigs that we can tie him to the microphone and stop him playing with his toys 😉

A 'heavenly' intro by Ian gifts the rest of the band the opportunity to take the pi*s only for it to morph into the addictive energy of Spandau Ballet's 'TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT'

'UPRISING' & 'ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME' back to back at Bailey's Court - Mark & Guy once again taking a wander around the pub 😂

'NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO' recorded at the Bailey's Court Inn Saturday. Mark had a few sax issues on the previous song but soon got into his stride. The camera angle was a bit tight at this gig which was unfortunate, as Guy was actually doing a jigsaw puzzle of a Fender Strat while he performed this number!

We set the Go-pro up this weekend to record some of our set and here's the first number, Elton John's "SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT (FOR FIGHTING) - recorded at our gig at The Robins, Aston Gate - more to follow this week 🎼 If you've not come to watch us at a gig lately you are missing out on some really great quality live music.
