Meet The Band

Colin is the heart of Flying Visit with his powerful vocals and solid guitar playing. Colin first formed a band in the seventies and Flying Visit was born in the late eighties.  He has the unique ability to read an audience and select from over 300 numbers to ensure the band delivers the right blend of music to suit most age groups.  His musical influences include Keith Richards, John Fogerty and James Burton.  Colin's musical tastes include country, blues and Rock'n'Roll.

Alan is our Drummer and Percussionist.  His flexibilty to meet a wide range of drumming styles adds to the strength of Flying Visit.  His drumming influences are Charlie Watts and Graham Broad (Roger Waters Band & Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings).  Alan's musical tastes are varied and include jazz, Rock'n'Roll, rhythm & blues, and 70's Prog Rock.

John, our bass player, is the newest musician to join Flying Visit.  John first formed a band when he was at school.  He has a wealth of experience in playing in various bands of different genres and has travelled the UK and Europe with them.  John now has to learn the unique Flying Visit style of responding to the audience with their musical requests. 

Mark's contribution to Flying Visit over many years has been outstanding, and his unique guitar style has added a richness of sound to the band. Mark was 14 when he first started in a band with Colin and has been a full-time member over the years'  He now performs as a guest when a venue requires a four-piece line-up.
