The Haystingers are a four-piece band based in, yep, Hastings. Formed in late 2017 with a mission to bring some good old hillbilly-boogie to the south coast of England, and beyond.
The band consists of Keith Osborne on lead vocals, lap steel, guitar and banjo, Clive Barker on electric guitar and vocals, Andy Maby on drums, and John Standen on double bass and vocals. There is a wealth of musical talent here, and between them these guys have played pretty much every style of music you can think of, but they all share a love of good honest country music. They’ve certainly been around the block, and over the years have recorded and played with lots of bands, from the Banderas, Helicopter Girl, the Cajun Dawgs, the Funking Barstewards to the House Of Love and many more.
Expect classics from Tennessee Ernie Ford, Moon Mullican, Tommy Sosebee, Johnny Horton mixed up with BR549, some self-penned tunes and a few surprises, the Haystingers are sure to get you on your feet.
