THE VISITORS

About Me

We are from East Lancashire Burnley/Accrington/Nelson area. Playing classic tunes for everyones entertainment. We have a huge influence from the 60's mod scene. motown, and soul/new wave era of the late 70's early 80's.Pat Gallagher, is the front man and spent nearly a decade fronting new wave band The Itch from Accrington. His strong soulful voice gives us the opportunity to cover classic tracks and give then the respect and compliments they thoughouly deserve. John Lister is on Bass guitar and vocals, previously with Leeds band The Flying Squad and together with Mark Tierney on Drums producing outstanding beats for the wide range music we play. Roger Davis is on lead guitar and vocals, and has a wide range of guitars to suit each style of the music we do, while Craig Dawson makes up the band and is the keyboard player that gives us it's great soul touch and compliments it with trumpets, piano, organ etc etc... we try to keep the dance floor full from the word go , so come and see us play!!!! If you get chance please check us out and by all means drop us a line to say hi!Cheers Pat, John, Roger, Mark and Craig!
