‘Didn’t know what to expect… ended up grinning all night. Incredible musicianship and pure joy!’

 ‘Tex-Mex meets British charm’

Get ready for a feel-good night of rhythm, melody, and brilliant live music. This is our last performance in the Two Sisters’ Theatre this season, and NOT to be missed.

Formed by pop star Paul Young, the UK’s finest Tex-Mex band Los Pacaminos  is a passion project between friends who just happen to be some of our greatest UK musicians.

Los Pacaminos began through a shared love of Tex-Mex, Americana, and southern roots music. The friends played their first gig at a local pub in Richmond in 1992 and have continued to perform together now for over 30 years. The band quickly became a nationwide favourite, not because of their celebrity, but because of the sheer quality of the musicianship and the joy they bring to every show.

The careers of this exceptional band of musicians reads like a UK pop music Hall of Fame. Paul Young may be a household name but take a look here at the rest of the band too.

Prepare for an evening of truly outstanding live music, put your blues on cruise and enjoy the Tex-Mex fiesta! You’re in the greatest of company. We can’t wait to see you (and them) there!
