Vague As Brothers
The wonderfully entertaining Vague As Brothers have been confirmed to play at this year's Gala Dinner.
The band plays a "lush cocktail" of pop classics and all the hits you love but are afraid to admit to. According to their website "Style is everything" for the Vague As Brothers, from their "sharp shimmering safari suits, lapels, flashy jewellery, accessories and provocative dance moves" - this band is great fun. They had us all up and dancing in 2007, and now theyr'e back!
