It's official... the River Rat Pack Tour is a go-go! They've already christened the barge with a very special guest.

On Saturday 10th May and Sunday the 11th May The River Rat Pack Tour played an impromptu set of gigs from the roof of their barge, whilst travelling along the canals between Victoria Park and Camden.

SixNationState, Beans On Toast, Nat Jenkins, Derek Meins, Josh Weller and Jay Jay Pistolet all played free acoustic sets to hundreds of people along the route, and on Saturday night over 1,000 people gathered at Camden Lock for a two and a half hour show featuring all the bands, and a special three song set from Luke Pritchard from The Kooks. On Sunday all the bands took the show onto dry land for another free show at The Lock Tavern for their Sensible Sunday night.
