8 Idle Hands Reunite!
15 years after their final gig together, Midlands teen sensations 8 Idle Hands return to properly blast some power-blues through their old live set-closer and fan favourite Ode To Ace (I'll Drink To That), for no good reason other than to put a smile on your faces! Play this loud and raise a glass of whatever it is you have.
8 Idle Hands are Tom Wardle, Joey Strange and Eddie Hodgkinson, with special guest Sam Wilkinson. They played a couple of hundred gigs in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area of England between 2003 - 2005. They once even went as far as Northampton! Taking in numerous biker rallies, teen nights, sweaty rehearsal rooms and supporting rock giants Slade and The Sweet along the way.
Says Tom “We loved every bit of it and would do it all again. And, I suppose we just did!”

This video is dedicated in loving memory of father, friend and manager Ian “Lem” Campbell, who remarkably raised over £100,000 for Help For Heroes playing across the country every night for a full year.
