Act profile

Between them, the three members of The Offenders have appeared on over 30 albums, toured with some of the biggest names in popular music, such as Tina Turner, Bon Jovi, Foreigner, Thin Lizzy and Bonnie Tyler to name but five, appeared on TV shows all over the world including Top of the Pops, The Big Breakfast and high profile cable and satellite stations including MTV and VH1.

Formed in October 1998, the band took no time in consolidating their position as one of the top acts on the covers, club and corporate circuits. With frequent trips to the Middle East and Europe and a growing list of satisfied corporate clients including Bentley Motor Cars, Volkswagen, Virgin, British Airways, The British Olympic Foundation, Nortel, Royal Bank of Scotland, Hewlett Packard and Peugeot, the band are constantly in demand.

This three piece guitar fronted band delivers raw but polished energetic entertainment and by incorporating the latest digital technology, are able to pull off a truly diverse selection of songs suitable for any occasion. One of the bands strongest selling points is the outstanding quality of their lead and harmony vocals for they possess not one but two lead vocalists, and in Steve, they are undoubtedly blessed with one of the finest singers in the land. The Offenders are 100% full-time consummate musicians, the band you see is the band you get, unlike many acts on the circuit they have never used “Dep” musicians.

Testimonials

"Hello Rick,

We certainly did book The Offenders and they were absolutely fantastic - they are a great act and we could not have been happier. Dealing with LMM was very easy and straightforward, as it should be. What made the whole process so much more easy was that Mike got in touch a few days before the wedding and he is a great communicator. We would highly recommend both LMM and The Offenders. We have sent an e-mail to Mike and please feel free to quote from it for promoting the band:

"Hi Mike,
We just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at our wedding. The band truly has a great sound and your repertoire really got people dancing. Everyone we have spoken to has said just how wonderful you were and how much they enjoyed the evening. Thanks for helping that happen.

Cheers,

Graham and Helen" June 2011
