They performed at Scotland’s most prominent entertainment venue, the OVO Hydro, in front of a crowd of 10,000.

They have become well known and cherished for their ‘electric positive vibes’, alongside their energy and ability to get the full crowd involved, including over 60,000 Rugby fans at Murrayfield.
