Biography:
Bad Rabble were
formed in Walsall in the West Midlands in December 2006
and we spent our first 12 months working non-stop
putting together a great
repertoire of songs
that differed from most set lists offered by similar
bands.
Our first performance
was held at the King George V public house,
Walsall in December 2007, which saw the us instantly
earn the respect of the small but crowded venue, as well
as a re-booking just 3 months later.
Many more successful
bookings were soon secured in the pubs and clubs around
the Midlands area as we began to make a name for
ourselves, and in March 2008, we were offered a slot at
the Robin 2 R&B Club in Bilston supporting the Bon Jovi
Experience, one of the UK's top tribute acts. Again we
quickly earned the respect of the crowd and left the
stage to a well deserved round of applause. We later
went on to perform at the Robin 2 on several other
occasions with such acts such as Ultimate Madness and
The Modfathers.
In addition to our
continuous public performances, we were beginning to
take bookings for both private and corporate functions
and events, including Wedding Receptions, Formal
Occasions, Business Events, and Charity Fundraisers, and
in 2009, we headlined the 2009 Parkinson's Disease
Awareness Function, and also performed at the 2009
Rosie's Walk event in aid of Rosie's Helping Hands
(Rosie's Charity), a local charity which was set up by
the parents of Aldridge teenager Rosie Ross to help
improve the lives of young people in and around the West
Midlands area. 16 year old Rosie was the victim of a
fatal, unprovoked, and motiveless stabbing whilst
enjoying lunch with friends during a shopping trip in
Birmingham City Centre in 2001. Bad Rabble were honoured
to be given the opportunity to perform for this more
than worthy cause where they performed to a crowd in
excess of 2000 people throughout the days proceedings.
May 2010 saw a change
to our line-up as Bass player Chris parted ways with the
band, but following a very impressive audition, Andy
joined the Bad Rabble ranks soon after, enabling us to
move the band forward, and also fulfil our already busy
gig schedule.
Since that first gig
in 2007, we have secured ourselves a number of regular
bookings at such venues as Morrissey's Bar, Solihull,
Birmingham, and the Village Hotels in both Solihull and
Walsall. |
