Max Cottam some eight years ago founded the band and has along the way played with numerous musicians, with his right hand man Martin DeGaris on guitar and recently added to the rhythm section veteran bass man Karl Nadin, and on drums Stu Fielden, as a section they were spot on and drove the band with confidence and the bands overall musical ability was second to none.

Max Cottam front and centre with his throaty vocals was excellent and Martin Degaris with his guitar riffs and solo’s was superb. With a multitude of favourite covers the band rock the joint with the likes of High Voltage, The Only Thing That Looks Good, Gimme 3 Steps, Sweet Home Alabama, Sharp Dressed Man and many more to boogie to.

HARD TO HANDLE are a hardworking band with great musicians and will always aim to please and will continue to raise the bar music
