The Patriots
The Patriots are one of Yorkshire top Rock Cover acts. With each gig packed with over 2 hours of rock classics from 1960-2020, the Patriots are the Regions number one choice for Popular Rock Entertainment, Below is a brief bio of the band members.
Drew Brown – Lead Vocals / Keyboard
Drew is the youngest and best looking member of the band. He joined back in August 2012 and is now widely considered, by himself, as the most talented member of The Patriots. His ability to sing most of the words, to most of the songs, most of the time, leaves others awestruck.
If he spent as much time concentrating on getting the lyrics right as he did marvelling at the size of his organ, he’d be good enough to get an audition on X-Factor.
He knows it’s Dusty’s band.
Favourite pastime: The lunge.
Favourite quote: “Anyone got any cough medicine?”
Adi Brown – Lead Guitar / Foot Switches
Adi learnt to play the guitar after stealing his younger brother’s Fender Strat when he was looking the other way. A self taught guitarist, Adi spent many years un-teaching himself how to play, so that a tutor could teach him properly. He has recently passed Grade 1 Lead Break.
Adi takes much pride in his appearance and has a keen eye for fashion. He regularly treats the audience to an eclectic range of HMV T-Shirts, combat shorts, and the finest off-white Lonsdale trainers.
He knows it’s Dusty’s band.
Favourite quote: “Am I loud enough?”
Favourite pastime: Turning knobs on things up to `eleven`.
Lee Stables – Pots ‘n’ Pans
Lee, the newest member of The Patriots, joined the band back in May 2019. Whilst a talented drummer, he spends most of his time on stage concentrating on not breaking one of his drumsticks. However, he has to concentrate so hard that he forgets to think about holding onto his drumsticks, and inevitably drops one.
He’s still relatively new to the band and has yet to reveal his darker side. Although, with his eloquent vocabulary, it’s best not to ask too many questions.
He knows it’s Dusty’s band.
Favourite pastime: Vaping
Favourite quote: F*##
Mark Williams – Bass Guitarist / Band Owner
Mark Williams, aka Dusty, aka Cakes, is without doubt, the second best bass guitarist in The Patriots; second only to Adi, Lee and Drew. As a child he always wanted to be a musician, but due to a lack of ability, he settled as being a bass guitarist.!
A former member of the prestigious RAF Regiment, Dusty isn’t as hard as you would think. Although, he still holds the power to call in an air strike at the slightest sign of finding a window to look through!
Favourite quote: “It’s my band!”
Favourite pastime: Baking top-secret experimental cakes, looking through windows!
