Formed by full time muso Tim Pringle in 2007. A New Zealander based in Australia since 1999.
Tim performs regularly up to 17 shows per month as a full time solo and Duo act specialising in Weddings & Functions.
Tim thought it about time he formed a full 5 piece band to pay homage to two of New Zealand’s finest artists – The Finn Brothers.
Having gathered a fine bunch of seasoned musos the band was formed and is now out and about gigging hopefully somewhere near you!
