As they both began to get better they started experimenting with other like minded mates and began to get a band together, the result of this was a short lived band called "The Feedback", who made an impromptu debut at The Alnmouth Working Men's Club. Although they were just having a bit of fun, this proved a fuel for the Aitman brothers' fire.

Nothing happened for a while and the boys both went off and got jobs, still picking the guitar up every once in a while. James then began trying his hand at writing songs, taking his inspiration from everyday life and in mid 2015 began jamming with long time friends Alec Paterson and Ricky Clark, who wasthe bass player for "The Self" at this point. 

Kev soon became aware of this and instantly wanted a part of it so he also picked up the guitar and started writing songs. Soon after, they met a young clean cut drummer named Daniel Hogg in the pub and persuaded him to join. The first official line up was now complete. 

In the weeks that followed, the band practiced incessantly anywhere they could, using whatever equipment they could find. Then in November 2015 at JW's in their home town of Alnwick, the whole town came down to watch the official debut of Kev (vocals), James (lead/rhythm guitar), Alec "Randy" (bass) and Daniel "Hoggy" (drums). Now known as The Tuckers, the surname of the Aitman's great grandfather.

The night was a one to remember as it brought live music back to JW's for the first time in years. The set also included songs still played today, like "Automatic Magic" and "Turns to Stone" and was steeped in Oasis and The Beatles covers. From then on the lads got a massive taste for gigging, (among other things!) and played out that year and the whole of the next one continuously, in anywhere that would take them. Playing with other popular bands including:"The Motion" and "The Self" (which featured fellow Alnwick school mates Ricky Clark, Michael Pengelly and also Londoner Alan Davidson.) As the band played more, their fan base grew with them and began to contain lunatics including Crazy Horse, Gary Gary Gary and Frank the Tank, who never fail to get the crowd going. Not surprisingly their set began to develop and they started to add tunes like "Crazy Days" and "Can you fell my Rock and Roll?" into the mix.

In August 2016 Randy made a decision to leave the band and concentrate on hiseducation and so, he up and left for university. Ricky was then approached and agreed to help out as his band had come to a virtual stand still and during this time they recorded songs such as "Rock n' Roll in hell" and played gigs further adrift including one at Lennon's in Newcastle. 

As the end of the year drew closer, Ricky had decided that his main band "The Self" were going to try and make a real go of it in London. This left The Tuckers helpless for a while, frustrated and unable to gig without a bass player, then salvation came in the shape of Matthew Swordy - a mate of the lads, who decided to swop his guitar for a bass and try to learn it very quickly. He was broke into the band, sharing the set with Randy when he returned from Uni and gradually he began to play full gigs during this period they gained their highest allocate to date.

A headling spot at The Cavern in Liverpool, the most famous club in the world! Definitely one of the proudest moments in their history as a bus load of fans joined them in their glory.

Further into 2005 saw the writing of now popular live songs - "The Weather" and "England's Rose". As the year drew to an end, Swordy parted from the band and the band stopped for a while. After a well earned break, they were rejoined by former bass player Ricky, who had also recently parted from his band in London and returned home.

Since then, The Tuckers have started 2006 in a positive way, they had written some more tunes (arguably their best to date) played more gigs, continued to extend their ever growing fan base, and now have a new manager who has thrown an incredible amount of faith, enthusiasm and determination into the band. The Tuckers are currently planning dates for the recording of their first official EP and are also scheduled to be back at The Cavern in July.
