Unforgiven has been rocking venues around the midlands for some years, and will soon be bringing their special Brand of Music to a Venue Near You. The four members of the band – Kieran, Paul, Andy and Wendy – have put together a great selection of music and play it with gusto and more than enough enthusiasm to get everyone up and dancing. If you like your music live and varied, want to sing along with your favourite songs, throw some moves and have a great time, this is definitely the band for you.
Rock, pop, blues, funk – you name it, We will play it, all night, and rock audiences to the core.
