Band/artist history
Based in the East of England, The Brink is a 4 piece Rock/Pop Band, influenced by Bon Jovi, Queen and a selection of other artists. The Brink hope to one day find Legendary status themselves. Matt Strafford (Vocals) met up with Alex Bittles (Guitar) and Gary Connor (Bass) during a 2 year spell at Peterborough Regional College back in 2003, where they were all studying for a Btec National Diploma in Music Practice. Alex Bittles and Gary Connor became good friends years before this, aged 12 while studying at The Queens School in Wisbech. Alex had already started learning his trade as a guitarist and it wasn’t long before Gary picked up the bass guitar. During their time at The Queens School they both joined many student bands together and they won their Years talent contest aged 14. It wasn’t until the second year at Peterborough Regional College before Matt got to perform with the pair from Wisbech. Their first performance together was a Queen tribute they put on during the lunch hour for the whole college to enjoy. This was a huge Success and with the boys knowing that their college course was coming to an end they started discussing plans for the future. They decided to start up a Function Band to make a bit of extra cash playing, Weddings, Parties and Pubs. The drummer they were using left for Uni after the Summer which meant they had to find a replacement, so they decided to hold auditions. This is where they met John Terrell (Drums), although they had never seen him before after jamming with him they all realized there was potential there and even chemistry between themselves and John. A year or so later they decided it was time to start song writing. This is when they wrote their first song ‘Since You Said Hi’. In 2008 The Brink decided they needed a keyboard player to complete the band and this is when they recieved a call from John Paul. A highly experienced keyboard player who now makes the 5th member of The Brink. In February 2008, John decided to leave the band. The boys held auditions for a new drummer. This is when they came across Dave Forster from Corby. Dave hit it off with the band and made an impact from the start. With the new line up The Brink recorded their highly aclaimed EP 'One Night Only'
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We play live as much as we can so people get to hear our music, it's a great buzz to have people dancing and singing along to your own songs. We love playing live especially festivals where we can play to thousands of people. We played Festival Too in kings Lynn after winning KLFM's battle of the bands, and supported attomic kitten playing in front of 15,000 and it was great!
Your musical influences
We love our classic rock with a modern feel. Our influences are Bon Jovi, Fallout boy, All American Rejects, Queen and many more.
What equipment do you use?
