MARK THOMPSON-SMITH, formerly man on the mic for PRAYING MANTIS, THE SWEET, BIG LIFE, local rock/funkmeisters, FAY WRAY and now LEATHER & LACE, leads a fresh faced band of young worthies....The Young Blades!!

Packed full of youthful vim and vigour 'The Young Blades', take to the stage with T-S on the mic or as a three piece.

The RTR collective of past and present tutors, from the Ready To Rock School tutor team, are regularly joined by older teenage and adult students from RTR School to play a vast array of great rock songs from across the decades!

Hi-powered 'TOTAL ROCK' at it's best ...see you at a
