Thrill Collins will be playing a free gig at Conservatory Cafe bar on Friday 9th April from 7.30pm.

Alright? Thrill Collins (Cheltenham’s Best Band) are a ska/skiffle/lounge/jazz duet/trio that specialise in 80s & 90s covers. They are available for weddings/barbecues/parties and just love to play. The band have several residencies around Cheltenham and especially enjoy any booking that involves free food.

Thrill Collins were not unique in the fact they played their first gig before their first rehearsal. Stepping in at the last minute to save the University’s “Party In The Park” from the disaster of not having music in the foyer for the last 20 minutes of the event, Robbie Pert of The Extractors & Andrew Lansley of Puppy Bucket & Donny Choonara accidentally created a legend.

Joined onstage by members of several local bands, a drunken thirty-two minute jam defined the beginning of not only a new musical era, but the chance to affect real social change. Those who joined Thrill on stage were unaware of the historic event that was unfolding next to them. Idiots.

‘Collins can count several locals and Andrew’s Mum amongst their fans and Frank Turner was definitely in the room when they played once at his aftershow.
