Pub band frontwoman
A four-piece pub band, in the back room and on the road
I'm Hollie. I sing and play guitar in a four-piece pub band, and I sell chord charts, a live recording, a lyric book and two video courses.

About
About me
I started the band in 2014 with a friend, a drummer and three chords, in the back room of a pub that let us practise on quiet Mondays. We are still a four-piece, though not the same four. Sorcha played bass until 2019 and Tam took over, and a second guitar came and went in between. We have made three records and played more pub back rooms than I can count.
I film in our rehearsal room and write in the van. The posts here are the band's own diary: the tours, the set lists, the songs and who was in the band when. Most people who read them play in a band, or want to, or just like the idea of a room full of people singing the chorus.
I sell what I would have wanted when we started: chord charts for all our songs, a lyric book, a night of us live, and two courses on fronting a band and writing songs for a small group. I do not sell lessons. I show you how we do it, and the rest is up to you.
Last Orders
A letter every Sunday from the van: where we played, what we played and what went wrong.
