As part of Town Festival of Music & Words. Full line up at www.thegraystonunity.co.uk.Making their mighty return back to The Grayston Unity...
Getdown Services are a two piece from Bristol that provide a sweat soaked, tub thumping, groove infused experience. Squint your eyes and it’s a stag do on a karaoke machine but open your mind and you’ll find it’s at least 500% more enjoyable than that.
Having been described as Sleaford Mods meets LCD Soundsystem, word has spread rapidly of their anarchic and high energy rapport with the audience, leading to sell out headline performances and a loyal following in their home city of Bristol. Their fast-rising popularity is the natural result of two close friends collaborating and creating something to be enjoyed, not just by themselves, but by as many people as possible in one shared experience.
