Special Announcement
The Sex Slaves from Hell will be disbanding in January. After 17 years of beinga rock star, Helen is running away to sea with her man and doesn't know when she's coming back! Another band will rapidly emerge, retainging the Irish folk rock world music fusion sound with teh odd silly song thrown in.
Keep looking at our website and gig lists for details of our last gigs adn the final gig (TBA).
May the fun continue.
As some of you may know ......
Very sadly, Gazza has gone from us. such a superb and well respected musician, such a warm personality and sense of humour, Gazza's strength of spirit help make the band what it is today.
We had 10 years of fun together, a lot of gigs and these times are how we will all remember him.
We and all of his friends and family knew that Gazza loved the band and would want us to continue so we have done, Spike is taking the role as drummer in the engine room of the slaves. Gazza would be proud to know that we are still powering forward doing excellent gigs, festivals, weddings through to parties and pubs and creating the same atmosphere of fun and exuberance.
We still carry Gazza with us in our hearts as does everyone who knew him.
