The last gig at The Yachtsman!

So, this is our final gig at The Yachtsman in Hamworthy. It's nothing to do with any issues we've had or a venue issue, it's just time to move on to different venues in 2027.
Please don't read anything into this, there's no hidden agenda's!
We hope to go out with a bang so, let's give them one last Wonking to leave them tonight!
Hopefully we'll see lots of you there!
It's Rob Whitmarsh's birthday bash too! Happy Birthday mate, see you later!

The final gig(s) of 2026

As the end of this year approaches we have two final gigs left (after 7th November at The Yachtsman) one is a private party and the last is a fabulous New Year’s Eve celebration at The Goat & Tricycle!  We'd love to see as many of you as possible,  we love playing here and the landlord and landlady are just two of the best people you could ever meet. Next year sees us spreading our gigs out a bit more, not playing quite as many and playing a few new venues too!
There's a few festivals too, those dates will be posted as soon as we've confirmed them.
Check out the 'Gig dates' section and come and see us soon!

The Wonky Donkeys at The Yachtsman, Hamworthy.

Dear Wonkers, on Saturday, 7th November, we will be performing at The Yachtsman in Hamworthy starting at 8:30pm.


This will be our final appearance at this venue due to various considerations from both the band's perspective and the venue's management.


There are no hard feelings or negative circumstances involved, so please do not read anything into this decision.


We would be delighted to see as many of you as possible for our last performance here. Additionally, we are pleased to welcome the exceptionally talented Mr. Paul Drayton on drums, filling in for our regular drummer Neil, who will be away.

More Wonkiness!!

I've been very lazy and not kept our blog up to date lately, sorry Wonkers.
2027's gig dates are now up (gig dates section) and we are very happy that we've finally managed to get some dates at The Thomas Tripp next year. We're also appearing at The Cricketers in Wimborne a few times! 
Anyway, there's only a couple more dates this year, November 7th at The Yachtsman in Hamworthy and December 31st at The Goat & Tricycle. Hopefully we'll catch you at one or the other!

Update

Because a family member was hospitalised, we felt it was best to cancel our Saturday performance. We're really sorry, but family has to come first.

Hopefully, we'll be back on track with our schedule on 23rd May at BrockStock and 24th at The Holme Bush.

Thanks so much for your patience and understanding during this tough time.

The Swans, Verwood

It's been a while since our last post, we have been very busy but that's not a good enough excuse, we're sorry!

We had an absolute blast out in Verwood last night, one of the best gigs for a long time! You lot are lunatics but bloody fantastic and we thank you all so much for the singing, the dancing and the wonderfully kind comments after the gig.

We will be back, just need to co-ordinate our diary with the pubs.

Our next outting is May 9th at Central Bar in New Milton, it's always a brilliant night and we hope to see as many of you Wonkers as possible.

None of this means a hoot to us without your support!

Keep Wonking!!
