About The Rivals

We're taking a break !! After 10 years of gigging around Hertfordshire we've decided that we need a well-earned rest so will be hanging up our guitars and drumsticks for a while whilst we plan our next move. Watch this space for further updates!

Elaine - Lead Vocals

Elaine joined the band as vocalist in January 2019. She has a wealth of experience both in bands and theatre.

Having a female vocalist for the first time has enabled the band to extend its set list into places we've never dared go before!
Pat - Drums and Percussion

Creating a foundation for the band along with rock solid timing is just one of Pat's roles in The Rivals. Her energetic drumming kicks the band's sound out at the audience while at the same time providing a flexible base for the rest of the rhythm section to build upon.

Gear:
Pat's main stage kit is a Pearl BLX with Ziljdan Avensis Cymbals.
JJ - Bass Guitar

JJ has gigged for a variety of covers bands over the past 15 years and can play Mustang Sally backwards at double speed now.

If you catch him with his anorak on, feel free to mention the history of classic jukeboxes.

Gear:
Fender Jazz / Fender Precision bass, through an Ashdown MAG C410T-300 (stadium gigs) or Hartke Kickback 15 (pubs).
Imran - Lead/Rhythm Guitars, Keyboards & Vocals

Imran joined the band in 2019 to make us a five piece for the first time. He's a multi instrumentalist and has brought new dimensions to the band with his fab guitars and keyboard playing.
