OCK enter the world of television. 

We have had an exciting couple of days filming at the National Film and Television School with some amazing professionals who have worked on The Old Grey Whistle Test and Top Of The Pops! We played a couple of songs on a show that the students were filming and we hope to be able to put the results up on here shortly. We just want to say a big thanks to the tutors, students and other actors, it was a brilliant experience!

We Need Gigs!! 

After our Winter hibernation we are back, fully rehearsed and looking for gigs! If you know of anywhere that you think would be good for us to play, please give them a flyer and get them to give us a shout! Or if you are a venue looking to book us, just drop us an email or give us a call!

Charity Festival to raise money for a great cause. ADAM'S HOOFING HUT Royal Marine Commando Adam Brown was born in Yateley, Hampshire on the 25th February 1985. On the 1st August 2010 he was tragically killed whilst serving in Afghanistan. He was just 25 years old. It was a dream of Adam and Amy to own a beach hut at Mudeford in Dorset where he spent many a childhood holiday. Upon returning from previous tours of duty he would use a beach hut for some much needed rest and recuperation. In his words “ it is a very special place”. So special that he proposed to Amy there. In January 2011 we started a fund-raising campaign to purchase a beach hut so that Marines and front line troops can use it to relax and reflect. A very safe port in a never-ending storm. On the 22nd April 2013 we made their dream come true and purchased a beach hut at Mudeford. This is solely due to the amazing support and generosity from all of you. We will still be organizing fund raising events to cover annual running costs (council tax £3200) general maintenance and improvements. This hut is not just not an extraordinary memorial to an extraordinary man but it is also a testament to the magnitude of goodwill and belief shown by all of you. Adam enriched the lives of those he came into contact with and we know that this hut will do the same. Thank you
