As the curtain came down on 2023 to the sounds of Los Twangueros, at our local pub - 2024 began with a traditional freestyle rendition of 'Aude Lang Syne' and much dancing and merriment and then more dancing. Let's hope the Year ahead stays in tune in much the same way.

So who are Los Twangueros, I hear you holler ? Well they are a Hastings band. Cool, quirky and play an improvised mix of Latin-influenced music, that includes elements of African, Dub reggae and pop. We got Santana's 'Oye Como Va', a version of 'Get Lucky' that proceeded an encore of the Chemical Brothers 'Star Guitar' - as 2024 beckoned ! 

Guitarist Andy Neale is ever present in what appears to also be an improvised line-up. A 2016 CD release called 'The all day breakfast' has suitably titled tracks and this one is 'Theme from the Black Pudding' with a nice Caribbean feel to it.
