Formed in spring 1993, the band has achieved widespread recognition in an unusually short time. At first they played low profile venues in their native London, but quickly progressed & were invited to play larger and more prominent venues in the UK such as The Marquee, The Clapham Grand & the Venue. The Band has also played extensively abroad in countries such as Holland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Cyprus & Corfu (CLUB 18-30!!!). Madness Sax player Lee Thompson is quoted as saying that OSB were “ single handily keeping the good ship Madness afloat” Lee Has also joined OSB on stage a few times commenting the band were “Tight as a ducks arse” & “Brilliant”. Drummer Dan “Woody” Woodgate joined the band on stage for “One Step Beyond” & told the boys he thought they were amazing. "That's exactly what we used to be like - you've got it to a tee!" he said. Fine praise indeed! And he could not believe the keyboard playing used no overdubs & was all being played live! OSB have also appeared on television a number of times. Singer Ian Soulsby was on "Stars In Their Eyes" in the 1990s & the whole band appeared on children's Saturday morning show SMTV (with Ant & Dec!) in 1998 performing their version of "Driving In My Car". OSB also featured on the "Tribute Band Night" programme, filmed in Rotterdam and broadcast on Dutch TV in 2004 & most recent TV appearance was at the 2006 Proms party in Hyde Park.
Mr Gig says: "Gigs are sometimes cancelled or changed at short notice.
To avoid disappointment, contact the venue on the day to make sure the gig is still on."
