About the Band
The Big Beat are one of the most exciting and crowd pleasing bands climbing towards the top of the UK music scene today.
This eager, young, four-piece outfit have already wowed audiences across the world with their eclectic mix of rock, soul, pop and blues, playing guitar-based, classic party anthems that span from the 1950s to the tunes topping the charts today.
All aged in their mid 20s, this group is driven by determination, enthusiasm and an overwhelming passion for live music. With unparalleled attention to detail, this super group of two guitars, bass, drums and 3 part harmonies, never fails to deliver an epic show.
Already The Big Beat boast an impressive depth of talent and experience. They have all been performing, writing, recording, and touring professionally for more than ten years. Between them they have worked with the likes of Supergrass, The Happy Mondays, The Dead 60’s, Blur, Dio, The Kooks, The Fratellis, The Super Furry Animals, Jonathan Ross, Steve Lamacq, Janice Long, Clint Boon, Bloc Party, Tim Rose, Blondie, Juliette Lewis & The Licks’ and many more….
While performances at The Marquee Club in Leicester Square, The Millennium Stadium, Cardiff; The Wakestock Festival, The Forum, London and The Cavern have helped this group win accolades across the UK, The Big Beat are not content to confine their magic to these shores. Member appearances at The Halifax Metro Centre, Nova Scotia, Canada and Milan, Italy have given them a chance to spread their wings.
The Big Beat have also performed at the Rugby Super League 2009 season launch party and the Rugby Super League Grand Final 2008 at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United alongside indie pop stars Scouting for Girls, and classical superstar Katherine Jenkins. They took centre stage at Casino Red’s opening party in Huddersfield, appeared alongside Blondie and Katie Melua at Guilfest, and appeared at the Tsunami Fundraiser 2005 with musical legends like Eric Clapton and Jools Holland.
Such is the impact the band has on those fortunate enough to experience a show, they were booked to entertain Manchester’s rock and indie royalty at Clint Boon’s wedding.
They were also the runners up at The Next Big Thing competition as part of Event UK 2008 at the Birmingham NEC.
The Big Beat have already featured on MTV Brand New, Pop Factory, MTV2, HTV, BBC1 and S4C.
They have also had radio appearances on BBC Radio 1 (including a live broadcast from Maida Vale at the personal request of Steve Lamaqc), Radio 1 ‘Session Wales’, BBC Radio 2 Janice Long session, XFM Manchester (Live Session), XFM Scotland (Live Session), Kerrang Radio, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio Wales and Radio Merseyside.
