Hereford rock band Frantik bused 45 local fans to their gig at Islington's Garage last weekend - and it was an effort worth making.

The atmosphere at the London venue was intimate and electric, as the four lads, led by lead singer, Robby Toner - ricochetted through the 11-song playlist.

Dedications went out to faithful followers, and the final fade of Be Happy summed up the night.

Lamenting the lack of a serious venue for live music in Hereford, Robby confirmed that the band would be playing The Garage again in September, in time for their new single release.

Meanwhile you can catch them at Club Imperial on June 26.
