Thirteen BC

WE DREAM TO OPEN FOR BON JOVI AT THE O2

Thirteen BC formed in December 2008 by the vocalist/guitarist Olly Applegate and Drummer Kerry Thompson. Rehearsed for a month or 2 and found they had something. Drafted in Chris Berry Lead Guitarist and Ben Annesley Bass. Auditioned for various vocalists but sadly none were accepted. Then Olly gave singing a shot and the band liked the grit in his voice and boded well with the music.

Chris Berry played lead guitar for Tori Amos and Kelly Le Rock

Kerry Thompson Played drums for a band called ivory who experienced some success. Playing at Leeds & Reading Fesitvals, Glastonbury Festival, TDK Cross Central Festival, Get Loaded Festival. Supported Godie Lookin Chain at the Astoria, Mc Solaar at the Bristol Carling Academy, Manchester Academy and the Shepherds Bush Empire. Supported D12 at the Glasgow SECC and the Manchester Apollo. Appeared Live on MTV for the TDK Cross Central Festival and played many many shows up and down the country including the Liverpool Carling Academy, Black Sheep Bar in Croydon, Islington Carling Academy to name a few.

Olly Applegate is a Lead guitarist/vocalist with a never ending turn out of riff ideas that are up to date and original. Has played for various bands at venues all over london.

Thirteen BC are a collective of individuals who have had a good stint in the industry who have thirst for more of the bright lights that comes with playing the big shows.
