ABOUT
We're an East Kent based covers band formed in 2019. We play an eclectic mix of Eighties pop songs but with a slice of rock, a touch of funk and a little bit of rap! The band line up is Murray (vocals), Jon (guitar), Steve (bass), Benny (keyboards) & Mark (drums) and we're available for pubs, parties, functions & weddings.
In 2023 we were proud to become a recommended supplier to the prestigious South East wedding venue The Old Kent Barn. It's a real privilege to be involved with such a wonderful venue and we're pleased to say this has been renewed for another year!
The band are fully insured and we have our own digital PA set up and lighting rig.

BAND
Murray
Vocals
Our charismatic front man Murray is a versatile singer with an amazing vocal range! He has been involved with music since a young age and has gained a great reputation as a brilliant singer who is able to engage any audience.
Steve
Bass Guitar
Steve has played all over the UK, Europe & Africa during his professional career and has worked in the West End & on TV & Radio. He has worked with many chart topping artists and has also performed in front of 90,000 people at Wembley Stadium!
Mark
Drums
A fantastically versatile drummer with a background in jazz music, as he also works with local keyboard legend Chris Kennedy & his Dukes Of Swing. However, he loves Eighties music as it provides a whole different challenge to his brilliant drumming skills!
Benny
Keyboards
A multi talented musician who's very much in demand, as he plays a wide selection of instruments (bass, guitar, trumpet...) in bands and orchestras. His brilliant keyboard work adds depth to the music we play and allows us to play those big sounding Eighties hits!
Jon
Guitar
Our guitarist Jon does all the management for the band and is your point of contact if you wish to book Vertigo Park. Although having a career away from music, he has played guitar since a young age and has been involved with a number of bands.
Deps
Bass, Drums & Keyboards
We are lucky enough to have some fantastic dep musicians ready to stand in when one of the main line up of the band aren't available. They are Daniel Johnson & Ben Morris (keyboards) - Patrick Channon & Clive Gregory (bass) - Simon Jackson & Owen Coulson (drums).
