Gretsch guitars have become an iconic symbol for Rockabilly guitar players the world over. But they make guitars to suit ALL styles of music. Discover their versatility right here:
Peavey make all sorts of musical equipment; from PAs for bands out there gigging all over the country to guitars, basses, drums, microphones - pretty much everything a band would need to start out with as professional a set-up as possible to suit all budgets. Darrel and The Enforcers use Peavey PA and monitors on their club gigs up and down the country. And, of course, Darrel uses the Peavey Delta Blues 1x15 amplifier onstage exclusively.

Shoes maketh the man... Or so it says in the Bible, apparently. Ok, maybe it doesn't say that specifically but we think they're very important for Rockabilly front men. We all know how important they are to the ladies but men secretly want 100's of pairs as well, if the truth be known! Colin Johnson makes Darrel's favourite shoes and he wears them all the time onstage. Find out more here:
