About Me

The Rock n Roll GeeZers formed in 1996. Although the line up has changed over the last 10 years the quality has got better with time and age. The sheer energy and professionalism of the GeeZers has made them one of East Anglia's top bands. The GeeZers play a mixture of Rock n Roll with Punk with an undercurrent of back beat Jazz. The massive personalities of each band member add to their entertainment value and make them a pleasure to see time and time again. Fans stretch from the four corners of the globe and T-Shirts and CD's have travelled back with Australian, Kiwi, US and European visitors who have travelled to East Anglia on hear say. The section below gives a brief Biog of the current line up who between them have more than 30 years of musicianship. So please enjoy the site and don't miss the next performance of one of the Best Punk/Rock Bands around. Lead singer Wilba has just celebrated over 30 years since his first band The Crabs in 1974 and known as Cosmic Love and then Teezer, The Crabs were vocalist/guitarist Tony Diggines, guitarist Ronnie Rocker, drummer Ricci Titcombe and bassist Will Vil.
