The Gullivers

Gullivers; Say it thrice and we shall appear.

About Me

The Gullivers were all born in the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford between the years of 1985 and 1988, thus establishing their excellent 'Oxford' credentials. They each went their separate ways through primary school with Mark and Andrew meeting in Secondary school. Mark and Andrew decided that ‘life on the road’ was for them. Eventually, after some false starts they found young Emma and she fitted in, like a round peg in a round hole so that was that. They then resolved to just keep gigging, anywhere, everywhere and that is where we find them today. The Gullivers like playing short songs that have quite often and by many been described as 'spiky'. The Gullivers have no problem with being spiky or flat, enjoyment is the key. The Gullivers have played with Dogs, The Maccabees, The Rumble Strips and The Wombats amongst others and have become 'favourites' of the download on BBC Oxford as well as gaining a play on Radio 1's Lamacq Live.
