A DJ quartet who named themselves after their ‘much loved’ 376 bus service marked their first anniversary performing by on top of it - while leading the Glastonbury carnival procession on Saturday.

Charlie ‘CHAS23’ Chamberlain, 26, who had the Glastonbury to Bristol service number tattooed on his chest, is one of the members of the multi-genre group called '3SEVEN6'. They have named themselves after their much-loved 376 bus service, which passes through villages including Pensford, Chewton Mendip, and Clutton.

‘CHAS23’, 26, from Glastonbury, Harley ‘CUB’ Kingham, 22, from Street, Hayden ‘HAINS’ Salter, 24, from Wells and Josh ‘DOUBLE VISION’ Herridge, 28, from Frome, said it was a “dream come true” to perform on the bus.

Charlie said: “My parents used to have a bus when we were kids and we used to do festivals and go on holiday in it – so that’s where my love for buses really started.

“We were already DJing under different names before we formed a group and the boys said ‘let’s call it 3SEVEN6’.

“There is such a massive local cult following for the 376 bus. It’s part of a lot of people’s lives when they want to go out. Some of the best nights of my life have started on the back of the bus.”

The ‘3SEVEN6’ boys - whose music ranges from UK garage and speed garage to jungle and drum and bass - have been consistently putting on dance music events in their home town of Glastonbury, and regularly pack out local venues and would love the opportunity to perform at Glastonbury Festival.

They performed alongside two other huge 376 fans, The Bad Cowboys.

Christian Lockyer, PR Manager for First West of England, said: “There’s bus fans…and then there’s bus fans, and these guys have taken it to the next level.

"The DJs naming themselves after the bus service is one thing but getting a tattoo and showing the bus route on a big screen is another, and we love it!

“But there is a more serious side to this; their story of using the 376 bus service to find freedom from the rural parts of Somerset to the bright lights of Bristol is really inspiring.”
