Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra set for October dates

 

With thousands of touring miles under their belts, Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra have earned themselves a sizeable fan base in the UK, Europe and beyond. Based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, they play their own brand of Western Swing, Blues, Gypsy Jazz and Country, or 'North Eastern Swing' as they've coined it.

Their style is more eclectic than most, influenced by early 20th century American music, with the addition of razor-sharp solos, great arrangements and original songs; their music harks back to a golden age whilst staying perfectly modern.

 

The songs are penned by Rob Heron, a crazy fool for country music and a full time dandy-cowboy. His songs are full of character, satire, and good old fashion hollerin'.

 

The band come to Glasgow's The Admiral bar on Sunday 2nd October and Birmingham's Hare & Hounds on Sunday 30th October.
