Beer Festival Band

Indie rock cover bandPunch The Air‘ are also available to hire as a Beer Festival Band. We have performed at many ale festivals over the years also including as a Lichfield band at Guildhall Winter Ale Festival. It was our second appearance at this wonderful Staffordshire venue for their bi-yearly ale festival band. Punch The Air performed at the Guildhall for Lichfield Arts many years ago back in 2013 when we first formed our professional covers band. We’ve been asked many times since to return since. But unfortunately our busy schedule performing as a private party band and wedding band has always clashed with this fantastic festivals dates. Recently though the stars had aligned correctly and the time had come for our function band to return once again. Contact professional musician Andy Starkey to hire a band for a beer festival.
