Vincent Flatts Final Drive

Sunday 8th March – 4.30

“Jack Daniels soaked, Allman Brothers and ZZ Top-influenced Southern fried rock ‘n’ boogie!”

Way back in the 80s, Bertie Burton fronted UK rock band Starfighters, touring the USA with AC/DC on their Back in Black tour and Ozzy Osbourne on his Diary of a Madman tour until, in the 90s he fell in love with country music. The real kind. And it was then the Flatts was born.

Fast forward 20 years and Bertie’s high-octane, no-holds barred approach to life and living took its toll. After some much-needed time out, he joined three other musicians (each nearly half his age) to reform his baby. Together, they’ve become a force, with critics likening their live performances to legends like Little Feat, and modern acts like Blackberry Smoke and the Zac Brown Band. Since then, the band has performed at venues and festivals across the UK, Europe and Scandinavia.

Armed-to-the-teeth with original music, Vincent Flatts Final Drive are a full-on, southern-infused, good-time, country rock ‘n’ roll band.

Now, if you don’t know the band yet, you’ll feel like you do once you see them live. Stephen “Bertie” Burton fronts the band, and his killer voice and come-one-come-all stage presence hits every last person right between the eyes. Come see for yourself. He’s the real deal.

If you’re new to the Flatts, hold onto your hats.

With Bertie and his killer voice at the helm, the band
drives relentlessly from start to finish. The come-one-come-all atmosphere they create means you’ll never forget, their gigs. You can be sure of that.

Also, Bertie loves a story, and that comes through in every song he and the band plays live. Some are
originals, telling colourful tales from his truly colourful past, while others are picked because they mean something to the band at the time. And that’s a secret.

Put simply, the Flatts are no frills, no fluff, no bullshit.
Just pure, in-yer-face, unadulterated rock ‘n’ roll.

So, join ‘em and have a good time. You won’t regret it.
