An energetic seven-piece who prioritise funky rhythms and catchy choruses. We’ve been labeled all sorts in the past, with the words “indie”, “jazz”, “funk” and “pop” being some of the most frequent; but we felt that “sunny, funky pop” had the best ring to it, and maybe came closest to pigeon-holing our sound.
Since 2016, we have built a real reputation for infectiously energetic live performances, with music blog ‘Spotlight UK’ recently claiming that “when it comes to the North East music scene, no band stands out as much as Picnic.” Our performances have not gone unnoticed, leading to some truly incredible shows for us over the past couple of years. Legendary ‘Eurythmics’ songwriter, Dave Stewart, personally asked us to support him at his birthday celebration show, hosted in the legendary Sunderland Empire and backed by a 1500 strong crowd. Following this we were also asked to perform exclusively for Prince William and Kate, on the Royal couple’s debut visit to Sunderland.
Over the course of 2018, we have watched our fanbase grow significantly, and due to the demand have been busy in the studio recording some crowd favourites. Taking onboard feedback from industry professionals and fans alike, we have dedicated a lot of time and effort into ensuring that these tracks do our live performances justice. Given the sheer number of members, and having a brass section to call upon, live performances will continue to be a spectacle and remain our utmost priority going forward. It is abundantly clear that we love what we do, and seeing the growing number of people who reciprocate that love makes all of our hard work worthwhile!
We don't currently have any future gigs listed for Picnic.
