Biography

The Adrian West Band brings together three talented musicians who love to make people move and groove to their music:

Combining vocal harmonies, electric violin, guitar, bass & drums and tasteful use of live “looping”, the band produces a full and diverse sound that spans acoustic rock, West-African, classical and Celtic styles. They keep audiences on the edge of their seats with a lively mix of originals, covers and instrumentals.

Instrumentation

Adrian West - Vocals, Guitar, Electric Violin
Mike Stevens - Drums
Andrew Gibson - Bass
