Ex-Pro Recording Artists from the 1970s - we were there at the time!
Now we play for fun - appearing at private parties performing the best Chart Hits of the 60s & 70s exactly like the records.
- Some of us appear on albums on original vinyl - yes, we really are that old!
- “Exceptional players with great harmony vocals” - your guests will have a night they’ll remember.
- We fill the dance floors - be it T. Rex, The Rolling Stones or David Bowie, we’re good enough to play it all note for note exactly like the original records - we’re VERY experienced musicians.
- Please see our live showreel videos & pro studio videos here and read our reviews
Artists we cover include:
The Rolling Stones, T. Rex, Free, Bad Company, The Who, David Bowie, The Beatles, Slade, Golden Earring, Status Quo, Fleetwood Mac, The Kinks, Rod Stewert & The Faces, Jimi Hendrix, The Sweet, Thin Lizzy, Badfinger, Steppenwolf, Steve Miller, ZZ Top, Wilson Picket, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, Canned Heat, Van Morrison, The Spencer Davis Group, The Doors, Ike & Tina Turner, Norman Greenbaum, Dire Straits, Lynyrd Skynyrd . . and many more we all love and cherish.

ABOUT BELOW THE BORDER:
We left the music business professionally decades ago and now we do this for fun!
But we’ve always gigged, playing every type of venue over the decades. From town halls to village halls, from tiny music pubs to iconic rock venues, from rock clubs on the continent to big stage festivals during English summers.
We put this band together in 2019 simply for the joy of getting back on the road to play the classic rock hits we love - the soundtrack of our youth!
We love seeing young and old leaping to their feet when they hear those classic guitar intros from ‘our era’ - Alright Now, Honky Tonk Women, Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, Born to be Wild, Spirit in the Sky, Radar Love, Rebel Rebel, Get it On, Caroline, Mustang Sally, Keep on Running, Get Back, You Really Got Me and so many more.
We always get LOTS of compliments about our playing and singing.. What folk say most frequently is how much we sound like ALL of the different artists we cover.
ABOUT PRCES:
Our fee areremarkably low. We have little interest in the money, that's not why we're doing this. For private parties. We tend to set prices based on who you are and what you can afford.
We charge more for corporate events for large organisations in the city.
If you are having an NHS staff party at your place of wor, we will pay for free.

We’ve just added a new backing / harmony singer. Like us Gail is from the 70s but she is from a famous musical family. Her cousin is Dave Stewart - The Eurythmics (but her biggest claim to fame is once making a cup of tea for Bob Dylan in Dave’s mum’s little house in Newcastle!)
We’re very friendly, educated and very easy going. Feel free to get in touch without obligation to ask for what you need and if we can accommodate we will.
Thank you for reading this.

We have fab reviews - a taste:
Below the Border delivered a fabulous set of 60s and 70s classics that saved our event from being a total washout, literally. They ended up playing in the corner of our kitchen whilst the rain poured down on the carefully prepared outside stage. They had us all transfixed and dancing within seconds despite the cramped conditions. Their good humour, enthusiasm and pure musicianship, combined with the appalling weather, made everyone watching feel like Glastonbury veterans by the end of the performance. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
