Our History

​

In 1975 the band Beaver was formed and run by Andrew Hunt and Dave Graham . Andrew  sadly passed away in 2002. The original band had many musicians come and go including Deidre Cartwright (BBC's Rock School) Dave Graham ( Fisher z ), Kevin Powell (Cockney Rebel)  Sledgehammers Ken Revell and loads more including John and Clint. In 1979 the band folded. John, Clint and Ken went on to form Tribe which preformed gigs in London sharing stages with Cockney Rebel, be bop deluxe and Dr Feelgood.

Clint went on to play Bass Guitar with Sledgehammer , nicknamed Killer Clint apparently because he had a shark on his t shirt. Support bands include Darts,UFO. Sledgehammer also shared the stage with, Def Leppard, Motorhead and many more.  JR did depping for bands including The New Vaudeville Band.

​

Now the band are back in business playing Rock 'n' Blues and still using some of their original material, totaling more than 2,000 gigs.

​

The Band are their main preference but are also available as a duo.
