Andy Burton, Peter Johnson and Ian Whitaker formed the Heritage Boys in November 2012 as a bit of fun for a charity fund raising event which was expected to be a 'one off'. However, that event led to requests for several more appearances in 2013 and a full programme of gigs in in every year since. By the end of 2020 they had performed at 87 events, mostly around North Yorkshire in a range of community venues, though they have played in other parts of England and in Germany, France and Italy!

The Heritage Boys make no charge for performing, but always raise money for charity. During the last eight years (2013 to 2020) they have raised a total of over £52,000 of which £5,000 has gone to Help for Heroes, over £25,000 has gone to Yorkshire Air Ambulance and over £22,000 to a wide range of local charities chosen by the event organisers. In 2021 the Heritage Boys' charity will continue to support Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

2020 was inevitably a quiet year for the Heritage Boys because of the pandemic. They started the year with a record 11 bookings already in the diary but only managed two before the first lockdown and then one small private event in a garden between lockdowns.

Needless to say the Boys are looking forward to playing at many more gigs as soon as restrictions are lifted and continuing their commitment to supporting the wonderful people and work of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. They hope to see you at your event soon!

In October 2019 the Heritage Boys were delighted to play at the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Recognition Awards Ceremony at Oulton Hall.
