Peter was weened on The Jam and Level 42 and this has contributed to his powerful but funky playing style. Starting at the tender age of 15, he's had big gaps in his playing when he went to live in Switzerland and Australia. He returned to the UK in 2013 and immediately joined a blues and funk outfit in Nottingham who became the Jam Cafe house band. With the spark reignited, he went on to play in a Big Star cover band at the Flying Circus in Newark and through that connection found RR. He considers RR to be his most compatible band in terms of personalities, musical style and fantastic original songs. When he's not bashing the skins, he enjoys riding motorbikes and fiddling with technology, which he made a career out of. He plays Ludwig (Carl Palmer signature snare), Pacific (early CX maple), Tama (hardware), Zildjian (vintage new beats and A thin crashes) and Paiste (2002 heavy ride)

Been playing guitar for more years than I care to remember. Been fortunate enough over the years to play with some great musicians who have helped me on the way to where I am now with Reverend Rockstar. I play Gibson and Fender guitars and use Victory Amps. I am a self confessed pedal nut and spend far too much time and money exploring these amazing little boxes that make all sorts of weird and wonderful noises. My influences are vast but these days it’s the guitar players who have created an identity that tend to light me up. Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Angus Young to name but a few. I think my playing has taken from so many over the years that it’s hard to identify one single major influence anymore. I am genuinely happier now than I think I’ve ever been in a band. My fellow bandmates are all little bit nuts and bring a level of commitment and brilliance that makes it all so much fun to do and tbh, they are a bundle of laughs to be around. Look forward to seeing you at one of our shows…you will recognise me…the noisy one at the side 😊

I’ve been performing in some way since a small person, usually upon a stage, playing somebody else! I’ve always sung, sometimes to myself or when perusing the aisles at the local Co-op (they play good music), or annoying work colleagues and wanted to be a backing singer ever since I saw Go West in concert - so it’s a treat to actually be given a mike and be allowed to sing with the mad bunch who are Reverend Rockstar.

It’s been a joy to rehearse each week, developing the relationship with this line up of marvellous and talented people, and seeing how the songs come together and get better and better.  I love the mix of music we play, mostly original and with the odd darned good cover thrown in and it gives me a chance to get out the maracas, rattle me tambourine or, on the odd occasion, blow the kazoo!

I hope you enjoy our music and, if you get the chance to see us live, you’ll see just how much we enjoy performing it together!

Starting out at the age of 17, Matt joined some agencies and started performing in Nottingham and surrounding areas, from pubs to working men clubs, public events etc. After 3 yrs of this not fulfilling him but giving him gigging experience, he decided to take a different approach and team up with a guitar player. They very quickly became popular in and around Nottingham and soon began writhing their own songs, later joined by another guitarist and then a full band, performing a mix of covers and originals. They played together in great friendship for years. But it was time for a change. Matt had realised his passion was in original music, so with this in mind, another band was set up. This time all original songs. It was fun. Loads of gigs and laughs, meeting lots of like-minded musicians from all over East Midlands and further afield. He teamed up with another guitarist and continued with both outfits, which were both feeding the need for original music.  And then............And then..........Reverend Rockstar.......The End 

Raised by nuns and the odd hairy biker into a non musical family in the late 60s.... My first musical experiences at school included bands called ''obscure void'' and ''nowt so folk as queer'' where I learned my craft...but woodworking wasn't required in those bands so I was ''let go''...who knew then that I would have the last laugh.

Teenage years of mastering the stylophone and miming along with Marceau Marceau was invaluable experience for what was to come...a life as a supermarket manager...

Started to tap dance but kept falling in the bath so decided to bang on a piano...which got be fired from the local piano shop. Had minor success with the Grimm looking Badgers before nearly getting a record deal in 96 but alas it was not to be...

Been there ...never done it...so thought what the hell...dress like a vicar and see what happens...

Never knowlingly undersold...never faked it...never phoned it in

Andy has a key role in the band. As any musician will tell you, the one essential ingredient that brings RR together and is the foundation on which every tune is built is something he does impeccably well. Its safe to say that Andy’s skills and experience come to the fore whenever the 6 of them come together and the kettle goes on.

Yes, Andy is the bands barista, oh and he also plays the bass guitar too. 

Most bass players stick to four strings, some venture up to a five, but Andy likes six of them.

He bought his first real six string, he got it at the five and dime, or Carlsbro in Hockley as it was known back then. He played it til his fingers bled. It was the summer of ‘83

Andy and Mark have been playing in the same band for pretty much most of the last 30 years and that chemistry shows through in that they seem to have a telepathic understanding of what the other is playing.

Gear wise, Andy plays Yamaha and Fender basses and selects either Hughes and Kettner, Marshall or SWR backline, depending on whether it’s raining or not

As well as bass, Andy plays a mean referees whistle which he blows with gusto. He also carries a red and yellow card in his back pocket and is not afraid to use them.

Come along to an RR show and feel the earth move, the smallest guy in the band with the biggest bottom end.
