You've heard of a one-man-band.

How about a one-car-band?

Meet 'Summer Holiday' - a musical trio that bring new meaning to the term 'park and ride'. The Bradford-born band featuring twins Alex and Tom, and friend Stanley (the handsome one) plays a collection of breezy summer songs, while sitting atop of a beat-up old car, instruments and all.

Yes, a concert from a car-roof. Brilliant or what? Recent gigs include an unofficial Lovebox session and the streets of Soho, Shoreditch, Portobello, Brick Lane, Borough Market and Oxford Circus.

You catch them here, you catch them there - you could pretty much catch them anywhere; as the trio drive around London every weekend and stop when they find a receptive audience. All gigs are impromptu, and they'll never disclose a location before they play.

And much as we love the car, the band is no gimmick; their songs are charming and perfectly suited to the current hazy sunshine. With a first single out in October, Summer Holiday is going places - literally. So sit back, relax, and let them come to you.
