Summer With Section 60

2011-06-22T20:56:00.004+01:00

We have been away for nearly two months recharging the batteries and enjoying holidays, Chris, Smit have been to Spain Addy to Portugal and Luke to his favourite Holiday destination....Rother Valley, he went camping and chasing Sheep around!!!

During this time we`ve welcomed a new drummer into the fold, Kyle has been banging the drums since he was 5 and only 6 years later he`s joined the band, he may be only 11 but hes far more mature than the Managers ever will be!

We`ve been busy working on some new songs and making slight changes to some of our anthems all will be revealed with the new line up and set.

We have also been filming for a documentary for Sky TV " A Sky View of Britain" representing Sheffield and its rich musical heritage, keep a look out on Sky!

Well we have a busy summer playing festivals and gigs up and down the country, make sure you come along and enjoy some great shows!
