RSB Oompah Band

Ja! We have our very own oompah band!

In 2013 we had a panicked call from a well loved local pub who were desperate for a band to play at their beer festival in about 4 days time as their last band had just cancelled on them. We told them that we had an Oompah Band at our disposal (we didn't) and we could certainly play at their festival (a dubious claim).

Jump forward four days, we've rustled together an eight-piece band, ordered some music (but not had chance to look at it in advance) and were psyching ourselves up for the gig. After a 2 1/2 hr performance, the manager came up to us an immediately booked us for the following year!

Since then, we've been polishing the act and are now proud to gig around Leamington and Warwick, playing a wide variety of music including the classic German tunes (Fliegerlied, In Munchen Steht Ein Hofbrauhaus & of course Ein Prosit) and a mixture of more modern popular music from around the world.
