Perhaps it’s my age, but when I first saw TR8R I had to think about what it said, but when the penny dropped it made sense! I like the name and it reflects the band’s age and personalities.

Vicky (vocals), Mikey (guitar), George (bass) and Conor (drums) are full of bubbling personality. I have witnessed some unsigned bands who are technically brilliant musicians, but have no stage performance. I have to say Tr8r have both in abundance!!

From the moment they went on the stage to the enthusiastic crowd they flew around the platform during their set.  They were just great fun to watch and to listen to . Kelly and I had no idea of what to expect but OH, MY, WORD they were full of energy and looked they were having the best time of their lives! The crowd (and myself) willed them to be awesome on stage.

Their performance had nothing to do with age as all of them aren’t old enough to remember Star Wars the first time round! What I believed they had was personality and the passion to give a performance.

During my photoshoot with them, they came across has young quiet kids (although Conor came across as confident when he corrected me on a comment I made). On stage, they are a potential performance to be reckoned with. Some of the older bands could learn a thing or two about Tr8r.

A joy to photograph, a pleasure to meet and great fun to watch. I wish Tr8r all the very best of luck in the future.
