Toto & The Raw Deals + Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra

Toto & The Raw Deals are a high-energy rockabilly and rock 'n' roll band based in the south of England. The group is known for their authentic 1950s and 60s "golden era" sound, characterized by driving rhythms and an energetic stage presence.

The band is a regular fixture at major rockabilly festivals, including the Rockabilly Rave, Hemsby Rock 'n' Roll Weekender, and Rhythm Riot, and recently signed up to LA-based rockabilly record label, Wild Records.  

This will be their FIRST EVER show up north, so of course, they will be joined by the kings of North Eastern Swing, Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra.  

Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra are a Newcastle-based band renowned for their "musical gumbo," a high-energy blend of Western swing, rockabilly, country, and blues. Formed around 2011 at Newcastle University, the group is celebrated for its authentic retro aesthetic, sharp dress sense, and witty, often humorous lyrics.

They draw inspiration from legends like Bob Wills, Django Reinhardt, Hank Williams, and George Jones, while maintaining a modern, eclectic edge influenced by artists like Tom Waits.
