BAND BIOGRAPHY AND AUDIENCE
​
Fronted by Steve McGuire, original guitarist/vocalist with popular 80s band Dr and the Medics (who had a No. 1 hit in the 80s with 'Spirit in the Sky') The B-Siders are a 3-piece covers band playing a variety of popular songs which are less-often played live. We are ambitious in our aim to entertain a wide-range of ages and interests, and work hard to produce the finest live performance. Their 'USP' is that many of their songs began life as B-Sides of the 7" vinyl singles of yester-year, all of which became hits in their own right. Technically, the band are well-equipped to present a great show to audiences of all sizes: and can produce a great sound for a small or large group, meaning they are comfortable at large and small gigs to suit gatherings of any size.
​
THE AUDIENCE
​
The band are already reaching a wide range of audiences in pubs, clubs, festivals (successfully auditioning for the prestigious Glastonbudget Festival in 2020), private parties and weddings.
The band has a growing following and generates interest from a wide range of ages in the audience.
Their style is upbeat, engaging, well-presented with superb sound skills. A good humoured trio, engagement with audiences is very good. Steve's professional lifetime skills of knowing how to provide extra value to the performance with his engaging personality adds something extra to the overall entertainment value, with a likeable personality and truly excellent interpersonal skills. The band keep audiences wanting more by providing a full package of entertainment with sing-a-long and dancing participation a real bonus for all.
