We're a Swansea band playing a wide range of music from the 60s, 70s & 80s to suit all tastes! We're all experienced musicians who have played in a range of different bands over the years (as you can see below), and we've got together to play all your and our favourite numbers.
Kevin - our new drummer is a talented musician who has been a legend of the Swansea music scene since the early 70s. He has played with many iconic local bands including Living Legends, Page 3, and Bunker Band.
He was a member of Just Bongo which toured Germany and appeared on TV many times, as well as having lots of interest from recording labels (including Warner Bros.). Kevin also played drums with Moroccan musician Hassan Erajji and Arabesque. We're very pleased Kevin has agreed to join us and give us the benefits of all his talents and experience!
Rob - bass and lead vocals started at 16 playing for a folk rock group Tarragon, then Rattleland, followed by Jessop. During the 80's Rob was lead vocalist and bass for Two's Company then had a well earned break for 30 years. He came back to join Bear Bones folk blues trio and the Bear Band, and we're very glad he moved to South Wales and is sharing his talents with us at Metrobeats!
Trevor - guitar and backing vocals has played in a number of bands since the early 70's in and around London, including a stint with the Liz Owen Band culminating in a sellout gig at the prestigious Half Moon in Putney in 2014. He then moved to Swansea - London's loss is our gain, so it`s Onwards and Upwards !!!!
Stuart - guitar and backing vocals. Played with bands in the 60s and 70s and - started playing again with the Final Fling band in 2013 band and gigged with Swansea's legendary Spencer Davis before joining us. Likes blues, rock, pop and all sorts!
