Southern Spain, 2015

​

With a plan hatched for a European road trip we figured we'd busk our way around to earn a crust. "Let's start a band!" Gypsy Punk? Rockabilly? Country? Yeah - all of those.

​

Akasha could squeeze her old accordion, Matt could play guitar and shout at the same time, Vicki had her eye on a big double bass and Tony could hit things. The fact that we lived in separate countries slowed us down a bit...

​

Back in the UK , Tony and Vicki were joined for live gigs by twin sister Caroline on vocals and occasional cowbell, Justin 'Lumpy' Hinshelwood on guitar and Annie on keyboards and vocals.

​

We were rough but keen. We played for fun. Then we met Thor, god of music. With the patience of a saint he whipped us into shape and the Disappointments started to become something rather beautiful. We played a few gigs and then everything stopped...

​

With live gigs out of the question, 2020 was a year of writing, composing, arranging and recording. The result is our first album, due for release Spring 2021.

​

We never did go on the road trip.
