About Me

The Vibes first met and played in 1998 on the track How I feel. Originally both living and working around Cheltenham they are now separated by 60 od miles of motorway with Chris based in Reading and Marcus in Tewkesbury but this makes their still prolific output all the more impressive.Since then they have gigged occasionally but are constantly creating new tunes.Keep a look out for future gigs.
