About

A band with a difference – young, quirky and energetic with a rock n roll vibe, an incredible live performance and superb vocal harmonies to match.
Originating from Wolverhampton, the four lads who are aged 17 – 19 years old, first met a few years ago and started performing together in musical youth theatre groups across the West Midlands, recent credits have included the shows Les Miserables, Oliver, Hairspray, Miss Saigon, Our House and many more.
It was during these early years that their common interest in music was born, particularly when they became aware that they shared the same source of musical inspiration – The Beatles. The Icon formed in 2015 and since that time, the band has been enjoying playing a variety of gigs at pubs, clubs, festivals, charity events and parties across several cities in England including Birmingham and Liverpool. Have played in the Cavern Club at the Beatles festival in 2017 and have since been invited back to Belgium to play in the Mons festival this year, following a successful tour there in 2018. We are looking forward to playing the Mellow festival this year in Worcester.
The band are continuing with writing their own material (songs which are very much based on the 50’s / 60’s genre) and last year released 3 singles. They have performed these live on local radio in the Midlands and on BBC Radio Merseyside, to promote their appearances in festivals and their appearance in the final of the 2018 UK Soundwaves Band competition.
The band are also grateful for the opportunity presented by the Royal Bank of Scotland and are thankful to have had their music played in the banking halls at RBS and Nat West throughout the UK and are also delighted to have been awarded ‘Band of the Quarter’ at RBS.
Having secured some festivals again for this year, the band are looking to play at more festivals in 2019 and also get back into the studio to record / release some more of their originals.
