LEAD VOCALS / DRUMS

PETE BULTITUDE

 
Pete first fell in love with drumming at age twelve after hearing Phil Collins iconic In the Air Tonight. He got his first kit and within a year was playing in clubs with his parents band. He continued to play with various covers and originals bands until 1999 when he appeared in front of 15 million viewers on ITVs Stars in Their Eyes. He went through to the grand final and received over 202.000 votes. Pete has appeared at some of the UKs top venues including Birmingham NEC, London Palladium and the Grosvenor House Hotel.

“What an amazing band of musicians and what a singer!”

RED LITCHFIELD

Growing up listening to bands like AC/DC, Deep Purple & Fleetwood Mac, Red picked up the guitar at nine years old. He studied at the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford and played with and learned from artists ranging from Chad Smith, Whitesnake, and Scott Gorham to Daniel Beddingfield and Pete Waterman.
 
Whilst working on cruise ships and in five-star hotels, he honed his backing vocal ability and became the male lead vocalist alongside two female singers. Having taught guitar privately for almost twenty years, Red continues to pass on to his students what he has learned throughout his career.

“Excellent show...Sound and lighting was great.”

DRUMS

MARTY WILD

The drums chose Marty at the tender age of seven. His first gig was at age nine and by seventeen he had turned pro. Marty has toured with such names as The Monkees, The Manfreds, and The Blues Band. His main employer for over 20 years was Alan Price. Marty teaches in schools and gigs with a variety of bands, although his main focus is on Genesis Connected. He thoroughly enjoys the music and the challenges a tribute band brings.

“Best gig I’ve been to in years. Can’t wait until next time.”
