Backbeat Generation  -  Who are they?

Non-Stop 50's, 60's & 70's Mega-Pop Hits

Chris Daniels, bass guitar & vocals.
Rocked in the cradle to the sound of  Country music and
Rock n' Roll, Elvis was the King; Chris was done for!  Music was in his soul!  As the  Beat revolution of the Sixties, fronted by the Beatles, took hold, Chris found new musical horizons, and joined his first band in 1962.

Since then he has played in many semi-pro bands and a vast number of different venues.  He turned full time  professional in 1996 teaming up with his son Mark, and setting off to find fame and fortune, rattling around the country in an old van.   Fame and fortune have yet to find him, but he remains
committed to the pursuit of excellence in entertainment and to keeping alive and fresh the music he loves!

Mark Daniels, lead guitar and vocals:
Chris's son; the act's  musical arranger, and frontline
vocalist. Another unwitting casualty of his grand-parents love of Country music and Rock n' Roll, and his father's love of the Beat music of the Liverpool bands of the Sixties.

He and Chris have been performing together since he first picked up a guitar, recycling all the monster pop hits of the 50's, 60's & 70's. but now he also finds himself fronting a Rock and Roll Trio plus an exciting, hot Country band and doing a brilliant impersonation of Paul McCartney in
The Beatle-Beats into the bargain!

Mark and Chris have been writing songs together for some time and the country band allows them to perform them, whereas the Duo and Trio are dedicated to all those
monster hits of years gone by and are not the appropriate musical vehicles for such scribbling!

"If music be the food of love, it's no wonder
I need to go on a diet!"
