About / Biography

The band's passion and obvious joy in the music is clear in their live act and their recordings. In addition, all of the band members are lead vocalists, enabling them to offer a range and depth of material that few other bands possess. Go Go dancers have joined the band on stage to add a fun visual element to the act. The band is an exciting reminder of why the music of the 50’s , 60s , 70s, and 80's provided so many people with so much pleasure!
Aware that younger audiences enjoy newer artists the band also performs songs from more recent decades including Ed Sheeran, Take That , George Ezra, The Stereophonics and The Killers and others.


The current line up is: Paul (drums and vocals), Ben (lead /rhythm guitar and vocals), Steve (Lead guitar and vocals), Dik (Bass guitar and vocals). We have a high quality Yamaha PA with monitors, and a midi lighting system as part of the package.
The band has played at Festivals , Corporate Functions , Clubs , Weddings , Birthday Parties , Universities and Colleges in venues large and small. We have played in Europe and as far afield as Hong Kong . We played to 4500 in Liverpool Arena and 9000 at The Speech House in The Forest of Dean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

We were invited to perform at Liverpool Arena to 4500 ( Does BBC TVCentre and Top of The Pops, to 19 Million , trump this ?! )

The Beatles and The Stones are still a big influence but the greatest song of all time would probably be" Sweet Caroline" ! (It always gets the crowd going !!)


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started playing in school bands - our first professional session was with Sir Simon Rattle. Appeared on Top Of The Pops and was in the charts with "Little Girl" .....did session work - and recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
