HOIST THE SAILS!

We're called Run Out The Guns - at your service, and happy to help make your evening a party everyone will remember!


We perform all over the country and have shared stages with some big names on the scene like The Men They Couldn't Hang, Mad Dog McCrea, Ferocious Dog, The Lancashire Hotpots.
As well as being an excellent choice to warm up audiences for the headline act, Run Out The Guns have an extensive catalogue of songs, tunes, jigs & reels to pull from to host a night of their own. From popular songs to have the audience singing along to, Irish tunes to dance to and sea shanties to drain those tankards of ale to!


The band pride themselves on their professionalism and ensure everything runs on time and according to plan. The years of experience each member has means they are able to gauge audiences reactions and switch things up within the set if needed to ensure the audience is kept engaged and leaving with a positive impression.

If you're new here, pull up a seat - check out Our Services, and have a good Watch/Listen to the our 100% live videos - you'll hopefully see why we're one of the uniquest bands in the North West England!
