Aycliffe Radio had the great pleasure of welcoming North East Folk/Punk rock legends “The Whisky Priests” into the studio to perform a live set for Steve and Col’s Folk/Acoustic/Celtic Rock show.

The band embark on a full European tour next month, kicking off at The Forum, Darlington on Saturday 13th October. If you`re interested make sure you get tickets early as it’s sure to be a sellout.
