Description

What originally started out as a few friends forming a Talking Heads tribute band, morphed into a covers band quite like any other.
Avoiding the 200 or so cover songs that so many bands perform, the Herbs decided to only play music that we wanted too and that we felt the audience would really appreciate. Originally the idea was to perform a complete history of the great british music festival, from the Jazz of the 50s to the Isle of White of the 60s. Then play the blues of the Bath festival and the rock of the Knebworth and Reading from the 70s. Ska from the two tone revival and throw in some Smiths,Orange Juice and then the Madchester scene of the late 80s.
We have performed music by
Jefferson Airplane/The Who/Dean Martin/Santana/Monkees/Rolling Stones/Sensational Alex Harvey band/10cc/Deep Purple/Frank Zappa/Bowie/Clash/Fall/Imelda May/B 52s/Smiths/Ian Dury/Specials/Selector/Chic/Johnny Guitar Watson/Happy Mondays/Pink Floyd/Sparks/Orange Juice/P J Harvey/Beatles/Siouxie/Grace Jones/Blur/Supergrass and lots more.
Apart from gigging in and around our home town of York we host a special annual event at the Famous Cavern Club in Liverpool. This showcases bands from our beautiful city.
Great musicianship, plenty of humour and truly something for everyone.
