7Sins was born in 2006 and the band has built a solid reputation for delivering dynamic, engaging, guitar orientated classic and modern rock, mixing well-loved pub rock anthems and iconic hits.Fronted continously by Bill for almost 10 years, our 2015 line-up is otherwise all-new, featuring Paul, Colin and John, previously the band behind "Tony Liddle and The Electric Warriors". We've always been told by landlords and music lovers we're "one of the best bands we've seen here"..... and we're glad to say this trend has continued with the new line-up - judge for yourself, of course.We don't aim to educate, you should know 90% of the tunes in the set, and whilst there may be better players out there, with a great frontman, soaring vocals, twin guitars and a solid rhythm section, you'll hear great tunes that help the beer go down played with passion, expertise, flair and a lot of smiles. Our PA is one of the best you'll hear on the pub and club circuit, and we carry an impressive lightshow..... Let The Sin Begin.........
