Formula 2 are a Rochdale based duo playing with customised backing tracks.  We play Rock and Pop from the 1950’s onwards – see our tracklisting – some of our audience members have described us as “itunes on shuffle”… or “the best playlist ever”. We like variety and can alter our performance to suit on the night, so if you want more 70’s with some hard rock included, or more 90’s with a bit of Oasis – then just ask. We’ve also got around 40 minutes of Fleetwood Mac which we can play in one go if that suits.

We also write original material which you can hear on our Soundcloud page. We’ve been played on BBC Radio 6 as part of Tom Robinson’s BBC Introducing Mixtape program. Also we were featured as a “Fresh Fave” on “Fresh on the net” here.

MUSIC IS WHAT I AM EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT I DO
These words are the most important when I am on the stage.
Emotions, connection with the audience, self-confidence, and charisma are unique to achieve as a performer.
I have spent 22 years learning to make sure I am giving all of them! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing this which I call the biggest passion in the world.

Check my PROMO VIDEO & YOUTUBE CHANNEL.
I have been gaining experience on many events, parties and weddings but also in TV SHOWS and it is my forte…
What kind of music do you need? How about a package of music of your choice?
My repertoire is everything I do jazz, soul, rock, pop, disco I can get everybody on the dance floor;
On the party with me everybody can dance, everybody can sing
and everybody are having fun.
