Since its formation, the band has regularly performed in concerts and festivals, giving around a dozen concerts a year at local venues and taking part in music festivals at Wadebridge and Saltash in Cornwall as well as at the National Accordion Festival at Wimborne in Dorset.

They have consistently gained results in the commendation and distinction categories both for playing as a group, as a quartet and as solo and duet performers and, at the recent Festival of Music, Speech and Drama in Saltash ,they won the Steve Menear Cup for the sixth year running.

They perform a varied repertoire which ranges from classical pieces such as the Air in D major by Bach  and Shostakovich's Jazz Waltz to popular music such as Moon River and Black Bottom. In addition they play many medleys such as Western Nostalgie or West Side Story.

Regular donations are made to organisations such as the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, Devon Air Ambulance Trust and the Pituitary Foundation.
