"Nah, wouldn't say so, we've played in front of about 15,000 in Wales," was the nonchalant response. And that's the thing about this Lincoln five piece, nothing seems to faze them and why should it when things are going so well?

They say their sound is modern guitar pop that’s commercially viable and with the list of influences including the likes of The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Stone Roses, Verve, Paul Weller, The Jam and Elvis it’s easy to see why. The group say they love the classics, the greats but mainly just appreciate good music.

Everywhere the band play they seem to sell out, not a mean feat given they've played at a few festivals in Wales, well away from their home patch. With the Lincoln scene behind them (selling out places such as The Drill Hall and The Lawns) they got a set at Lincoln City FC's Sincil Bank Stadium to play prior to kick off at the Imps' recent home leg of their playoff semi final.

Not only was the stadium full to capacity it was shown live on Sky Sports 1 where the band played 'This Is The One' by the Stone Roses to open the broadcast! Richard Keys is now a fan, as is Lincoln City's Head Coach John Schofield, Physio 'Slik' and players Lee Beevers and Martin Gritton amongst others.

The five piece have been busy working on a CD recently and decided to head off to Louth's Chapel Studios to get it done. With multi-million record selling artists using Lincolnshire's premier facilities the band were always going to be in safe hands. And those hands were Will Bartle and Ewan who aided the likes of The Kaiser Chiefs and The Arctic Monkeys to name but a few. The quartet were reassured with the CV the two men could boast who in turn were impressed by what the lads had to offer. The CD has five tracks and is currently untitled.

Looking towards the future South Park Roundabout want, like so many bands, world domination but the main objective is a record deal. They also want to play in front of bigger and bigger crowds to get used to potential stardom.
