Who needs Taytay when you've got CayCay?
Looking forward to playing the St Andrews Students' Association Xmas party. Last gig of the year and a great way to sign off before recharging the batteries with far too much Bailies and chocolates.
Come along and join the fun, tickets are £7 and check out our events page for all the info.

Hello all!
I bring exciting news about the upcoming BG's charity band night featuring Calvin (and the most excellent Mariachi Death Squad and BG/DG).
If you would like to attend the show, it's at the Voodoo Rooms on West Register Street from 6pm on Thursday 5th October, and (critically) it's now possible to sign up for it directly rather than going through a BG employee.
All you need to do is fill in this form noting your name and the names of anyone else you're signing up.
https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=-8dZfxhPh0m6QHQQvYUJdH8xXwVpIVpHsCpzD9wfuARUMUQ5NzMwUFZZUFVWQjZJMjFPMTM5NFU3Ty4u
And then go to BG's JustGiving page to donate £10 per person for your ticket (please mark 'band night' in the comment on the JustGiving page as it allows us to keep track of donations vs signups).

Alternatively you can chance your arm on the door on the night, but we've sold over 100 tickets now and the capacity is 200, so there's no guarantee we'll have availability on the night.
It'd be lovely to see you there.
If you'd like to learn more about Fresh Start, our Charity of the Year, you can do so here - https://www.freshstartweb.org.uk/ - they are a very worthy cause indeed, helping people who have experienced homelessness set themselves up in a new residence.
Happy weekend people!
Have a bit of a Sunday kitchen party on us.

Los Calvinos play Happy Hour by The Housemartins at Aikman's Bar, St Andrews.
Happy Friday!
I learned this song back in my student days so I had a song to play at parties that folk would know although I can't actually remember every playing it at one! 🤣

We last played at Voodoo Rooms - Bar, Restaurant & Function Rooms in Edinburgh back in 2019 under our acoustic cover band alter ego, Los Calvinos.
Our good friend, Terry was there a took these great pics.
We'll be back in our full electric five piece glory on 5th October.
One of the first songs we wrote together was "Why Not Try?"... and here it is.
