"I'd like to thank the Academy!"
.
Thank you so much to @FilmFreeway 4 making The Toilers winners in The Best Editing category in their European Music Awards. Due to the small budget the video was actually edited by the band's front man himself @rogerthomson83 !!

"Why is anyone in to this for sex?"
He pondered through the latex mask! We are very chuffed that our good pal #gethinanthony was nominated for the Best First Time Director award @musicvideoawards

Pinching from the best!

It was 3 years ago we took some snaps around beautiful #firenze and found these lovely door knockers. Little did we know we were copying the idea from the great @BobJamesMusic & his 1974 album 'One'

Both can be heard on Spotify, Apple music and YouTube

Lockdown has given us some time to edit some old vids which we'll premier on our #youtube channel over next few weeks. Expect some saucy solos just like this from Chris Lane

Drum bloopers!
The highs and lows of being a drummer in the rehearsal room. Once that groove lands it's a sweet sweet feeling!

Steven who?!
Very proud of our chum #gethinanthony for doing such an incredible job directing Miss Mercy. Watch now here - https://t.co/0JhIC04eqa

This was one of the first things we shot in a frantic two days of filming.
