“Carmen Ghia and the Hotrods?”, you might ask? Who are they and where do they come from??! Well incase you don't know...
CGH are a band from Sheffield who have been together a little over five years and have gone from success to success and are now considered to be one of the top 1950’s bands on the live scene.
When they arrive on stage you know you're in for a good time. A solid line up of drums, guitar, upright bass, sax and harmonica and a little fire cracker of a front woman who could be straight out of the ‘50’s and the foxiest dame to ever work a microphone! This band consists of some of Sheffield’s most respected musicians and the whole outfit is Killer-Diller to be sure! From the first note to the last you will be blown away by the authentic sound of this 1950's band. This isn't merely 'retro' this is the real deal.
They've been seen playing at some of the biggest Rockin' festivals in Britain, The Shakedown, Hembsy, and the The Rhythm Riot (to name but a few), this year has seen their first appearance at Twinwood. Other festivals such as Glastonbury (twice no less!), Shambala, and the Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival for the third time this year where they have received the honour of being the ‘face’ of the festival!!
