The Pad Presents have scored a date with Bedford's own The Ouse Valley Singles Club to kickstart 2019 - they will be live at Bedford Esquires on Saturday (January 5).
The OVSC began as a two-piece Skiffle band and steadily evolved into the quintet that most local music lovers know and love today.
In case there are a few stragglers among you, wondering what they are all about, here’s the official spiel...
The OVSC are from the rather cosmopolitan market town of Bedford that use sounds and traditions of 1950’s Skiffle combined with the energy of Punk and a splash of Rub n dub Reggae to relay hilarious Folk-like story-telling within their rather infectious songs, often crossing the parameters of what is deemed to be socially acceptable.
In doing this, they have created a truly original & highly entertaining genre that has been dubbed (by them) as 'New Wave Skiffle.'
Their songs and videos, (including Girl From the Fens, Milf Hunter, Spunky Dave, River Great Ouse and the East Northants anthem 'From Rushden with Love') have given them a pretty strong online presence and gained a massive following of lovely loyal fans and a semi.. a semi-cult status in and around the East Anglian / East Midlands region.
Their first show of the year at Esquires has now become a bit of a tradition on the Bedford Music scene, and is always a sell-out.
This year they are keeping it cosy and limiting the number of tickets available by playing in the downstairs area of Holy Moly's this is going to be a rather special night and one not to be missed!
