As part of our 10th Anniversary celebrations we are delighted to welcome back a great favourite to the club. Excellent writing, superb musicianship and a high feelgood factor.

Fred’s House is an award-winning band based in Cambridge. They make summery, 70’s West Coast inspired folk/rock but have their own distinctively fresh sound that is very much part of now. This group of musicians have the rare ability to sweep you away with their gorgeous harmonies, moving lyrics, infectious melodies and uplifting grooves. Among their many influences are the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Lissie and Janice Joplin.

Fronting the band is Vikki Gavin, a classically trained vocalist, who started the band with former member and singer-songwriter Griff Jameson. Fred’s House was born when the pair moved to Cambridge in 2010 and joined forces with their funky dancing bassist Gafyn Jameson and songwriter and guitarist Lachlan Golder.

Later in 2013 Cambridge legend Paul Richards, aka ‘The Happiest Drummer’, recorded on their debut album and then never left. Griff left the band after 8 years to pursue another project. Since 2019 violin and vocalist Prue Ward joins the line-up and gives a fresh new spin to their staple sound. Fred’s House are busy writing and recording new material for their 4th album at North Acre Recording Studio and getting back to a busy gigging schedule after a long awaited pause during the pandemic.
