Whiskey for her men

David Claridge

A NEW country party band has emerged in the valley – a group of friends who started jamming towards the end of the Covid lockdown and already have a couple of gigs already under their belt.

Nathan Talbot, who organises Tin Cup Country and plays with the Blackstone Dukes, tells how Whiskey for Her Men got together.

‘I did a fill in gig for the Brown Chords one night and reunited with Martin Eade who I went to high school with.

‘Andrew Richardson from the Blackstone Dukes was doing a duo with Naomi Leighton. We all decided to get together and see what we could do.

‘We were just bantering around with band names. I suggested Whiskey For Her Men which is a take on a Toby Keith song “Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses”.

‘We want to make a real polished show of it with some originals in the mix. We just want to have some fun with it.’

Whiskey for Her Men do country party band covers and some well known favourites.

Andrew Richardson is bass and vocals, Martin Eade is lead guitar and lead vocals, Naomi Leighton is lead vocals and Nathan is on drums.

The band is looking for gigs, weddings or parties. Phone 0428 445 113 or email whiskeyforhermen@gmail.com.
