Howlin' Mike Binnie- vocals/guitar, Rollin' Ray Cheng- bass/vocals, Graeme 'Thunder' Field- drums/vocals, Blair Walker Junior-guitar/vocals.
Tonka are a four piece cover band that provide live music for any occasion.
It's been a tough few weeks for our friends and family. Some of you may already know but we have lost our friend, brother and bass player Raymond in a tragic accident. We have not decided what will happen with the band but for the time being we will be putting everything on hold. Thanks for your support, Blair, Mike & Graeme.

Yearly visit. The Tennent's Lager is still exceptional as expected! :)
After almost 14 years faithful service the Fender PT-100 guitar tuner will not be making the trip to the gig tonight.
Having been stomped on hundreds of thousands of times, drenched in gallons of spilt beer and/or sweat and chewed through hundreds of batteries, he's eventually given up the ghost!
It's now time to retire to the big black bin bag in the sky!
Cheers Wee Man, it's been emotional. ๐ญ
