About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / U2

elevation-THE U2 EXPERIENCE were formed a few years back from a mutual passion for U2. Stuart sings, Alan plays guitar, Tony basses away and Mark hits drums alot.
STUART is also an accomplished (so he says!) artist (www.stuartawilkinson.co.uk), who can also tie his own shoe laces! His voice makes the ladies swoon and the fellas weep!
ALAN is a veteran of the music scene, having toured with bands since the precociously young age of 14 (mercifully his hair has learned to control its wanton ways with each passing year!). His riffs are the stuff of Norse gods! ('Loki' comes to mind!!)
TONY juggles life; running a website design company/independent record label/creative empire (www.catacoustic.co.uk) and managing an on line monkey clothing range (ok, the simian apparel was a lie!). Tony can make a bass sound like a highland horde or a flirty dame!
MARK doubles as a director of Adlib Audio Limited (www.adlibaudio.co.uk), a P.A. Lighting & AV system hire and sales company, responsible for Scissor Sisters and David Bowies 'Reality' tours and the like. He has very old drum skins!! When Mark plays, why, even King Kong would say "Thats powerful, man!" All are vastly experienced musicians, having played, in one band or another, across Europe.
None of the lads have been in prison or sold their clean pure souls! Except for Alan! He ebayed his on a whim, for some eggs! JUST EGGS!!
The band also write/perform their own material under the monicker 'HECTOR' (long story as to the origins of the name, don't ask!). A sample of Hector- 'WONDERFUL'- can be heard in our songs section.
