Repertoire
The Peppermint Men rehearse every week to maintain a constantly evolving and fresh repertoire. Our quick-fire style of presentation, aimed at keeping dancers on the floor means that we tend to perform many more songs in a night than most bands. The list below features some of the songs that we feature in a night but is in no way exhaustive.

In addition to our rehearsed sets we do take requests. Singer and front man Tony Cater has accumulated an incredible wealth of material and that combined with years of experience of the rest of the group we can very often play requests from the 1960s.
We take pride in learning our songs so you won’t see us reading music or words on stage - something that could otherwise disrupt the interaction with our audience. Besides, with our eyesight there would be little point.
