About Me

Copy this code to your page to display this banner and help us promote our Band! It will appear slightly smaller than the one above.
Brighton based band 'Gloria Cycles' were brought together by a mutual love of photography shared by Kenny McCracken, (lead singer & guitarist) and Julian Ward (guitarist & backing vocals) When the multi talented duo met at Brighton University they soon began to realise that they also shared a love of music." Gloria Cycles" were born.
They pulled off a major coup when fashion student Jen Dalby joined the band as a bass player. At the time when Jen signed up for the job, neither Kenny or Julian realized Jen also possessed a beautiful haunting voice which has proved to be integral to the vocal harmonies of the band as well as standing out on its own, best exemplified on the track' 'Bag'. Then rolled up Jack Hannan, a versatile drummer having played musical theatre to urban street beats to punk rock. Jack was the missing link in the chain that completed the cycles.
We edited our profile with the stolen brain of Mr Samuel Kester Chivers
