AFTER MIDNIGHT were formed in 1997 and spent their early
days playing local pubs, clubs and private parties. Only
two months after their debut performance, After Midnight
were personally invited to feature in the highly acclaimed
annual Hawth Band Festival which showcases the best local
talent from surrounding areas.
Now in their fifth year together, After Midnight are regarded
as one of the highest respected Show Bands and can boast
having headlined numerous major performances including high
profile national events for The British Heart Foundation
and The Leukaemia Research Fund held at The Royal Lancaster,
London to name but a few.
Rave
reviews of After Midnight performances include that published
by 'The Stage' national entertainment newspaper;
"After Midnight, an 11-piece soul band blew a storm
to start the second half. How rewarding to see so many talented
people playing real instruments and they could not fail
with 'In The Midnight Hour' as their opener. Superbly attired
and exceptional visually, the four vocalists featured a
great span of songs from Aretha Franklin to Jailhouse Rock".
Fronted
by lead vocalist Kevin Chipol, 24, After Midnight also includes
Richard Hughes; a vastly experienced and talented guitarist
who includes playing with the hugely successful band 'Easy
Cure' in his early days, the group who later went on to
become global mega-stars 'The Cure'.
Over
their five years of performing, After Midnight have had
the privilege to play at every occasion imaginable, from
weddings and parties to major festivals and corporate events.
In addition to being one of the highest profile and most
popular bands in their area, After Midnight are also well
respected for their dedication to voluntary performances
in aid of charity organisations on both a local and national
scale.
After
Midnight have a full professional P.A. System, on-stage
lighting and offer pre-recorded background music of the
same or similar style to the band themselves during meals
and breaks, etc. free of charge.
