The Line Up
Scott: With over 20 years of experience as a drummer, I thrive on the energy of live performances and the buzz I get playing with my best mates in the band!! My passion for the band is what drives me to deliver and be there for every moment! Cold winter evening practices learning new beats and great new songs just to be there at that live gig!
When I'm not behind the kit, you'll find me painting in my studio, channeling my creativity into canvas. Music and art are my life, and I embrace every moment of both!

Pete: I have been playing bass guitar in a variety of different bands for the past 50 years. Playing music is not only my hobby but also a great passion of mine.
I have many years experience at having played in a variety of venues over the years, including private functions , clubs, pubs and music festivals.
I have been a member of The Hi-Vibes for over 2 years now and I can honestly say we are not just band members, but also great friends and go out to see other bands, as we are always striving for new ideas.
Jimmy: I’m the band’s lead guitarist. Music has always been a passion for me. I like most styles, but I have a particular fondness for music from the late 60s to early 70s. When I’m not playing guitar, you can usually find me putting the world to rights over a pint in the pub.
Paul: I am the band’s rhythm guitarist and keyboardist. Having retired a few years ago I’ve been lucky enough to be able to fulfil a lifelong ambition to play music, and I couldn’t imagine a better group of people to pursue that with.
Iris. I’m the band’s lead singer. Music is how I speak to the world. It started with a gift from my parents when I was six, a soundtrack that sparked a passion that I’ve carried for twenty years.
When I’m not singing I like to ride my motorcycle and give new life to old pieces of furniture and decor.
