A Brief History.

Bad Rabble were formed in Walsall in the West Midlands in December 2006 and spent their first 12 months working non-stop putting together a great repertoire of songs that differed from most set lists offered by similar bands already making a name for themselves on both the local and national pub and club circuits. Their first performance was held at the King George V public house in Walsall in December 2007, and saw the band 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 the band began to make a name for themselves, and in March 2008, Bad Rabble 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 they quickly earned the respect of the crowd gathered before them, and left the stage to a well deserved round of applause. The band later went on to support a number of other great tribute acts at the Robin 2, including 80's Ska and 2-Tone tribute 'Ultimate Madness', and The Jam and Paul Wellar tribute 'The Modfathers'.

In addition to their continuous public performances, Bad Rabble were beginning to take bookings for private and corporate functions and events, including Wedding Receptions, Family Celebrations, Formal Occasions, Business Events, and Charity Fundraisers, and in 2009, they 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 see's another change of bass player with Chris and the rest of the band parting ways, and following a very impressive audition, Andy joins the bad Rabble ranks enabling us to both move the band forward, and also to fulfil our already busy gig schedule.
