Without a doubt, one of the best live Soul/ Funk bands in
the UK, these guys are totally amazing!!!! With loads of
high profile corporate clients under their belts they are
the ideal band for any party or event.
Backstreetsoul
are fronted by either Ian Harrison or Graham Dee depending
on their availability.
Ian
Harrison (vocals) Ian has been a performer for most of his
life. Starting at the age of 7 at the Corona Stage School,
leading onto a varied and successful career both as a backing
singer and lead vocalist. He has sung alongside (and behind)
Nik Kershaw, Seal, Daryl Hall, Lulu, Jimmy Nail and Manfred
Manns Earth Band and well as the infamous Spinal Tap.
He has recently returned from a world tour with Tom Jones.
Graham
Dee (vocals) When you hear Graham sing it is impossible
to ignore his astonishing vocal talents, always treating
the audience to a flurry of jazz licks, funked up soul lines
and ragga rhythms. He has been a professional vocalist for
many years in a wide range of
situations and has recently been on tour in South Africa.
Andy
Carr (bass) has been playing music professionally for twelve
years, lending his considerable skills to Bruce Dickinson's
Top 10 Tattooed Millionaire album, which sold over half
a million copies world-wide. As well as vast experience
as a session musician, Andy has played with Shakespear's
Sister, Tony Hadley, Toby Bourke (including the duet single
with George Michael), soul legend Willie Tee and the multi-album
selling French band Niagara.
Paul
Harvey (guitar and backing vocals) was a member of 80's
chart bands Then Jerico and Ellis Beggs & Howard not
only performing but also co-writing a lot of their material.
He has also worked with Prefab Sprout, Kool And The Gang,
Thomas Dolby, Cliff Richard and Boy George. Paul has written
hit songs with Tom Robinson, and is in fact as renowned
for his song writing as he is for his funky, 'in the pocket'
guitar-playing.
Rob
Hughes (saxophone and backing vocals) has been a professional
musician since the age of seventeen. He has recorded The
Paul Jones Blues Show on Radio 2, played with the rock group
Magnum and recently recorded for the new All Saints album

of Holland. Rob also toured the UK for six months as saxophonist
with the 'Official Tribute To The Blues Brothers' Musical.
John
Miller (drums). In June 1999, John was on a month long international
tour with St. Etienne. He has played at many festivals,
including Glastonbury and V98 as well as touring extensively
throughout America, Australia, Japan and Europe. He has
appeared on Chris Evans' TFI Friday, and This Morning with
Richard & Judy (a particularly proud moment!!). His
drumming talents can be heard on the latest albums by Toby
Bourke, St. Etienne and Then Jerico.
Jason
Silver (keyboards and backing vocals). At twenty-four, Jason
is the youngest in the band, but is still an experienced
musician having recently worked with the Italian band Open
Arms in Italy, toured the USA and performed with Taka Boom
(sister of Chaka Khan).
