Alex Bedrijczuk - Guitars / Lead Vocal
Alex Beds was born to sing these songs. A big guy with a big heart and voice to match he sits perfectly in Gentlemen Groove leading the band from the front. Think Bill Withers or Marvin Gaye; Alex’s unmatched enthusiasm for soul often sees him recreating several instruments from your favourite songs at once on guitar. In a former life, Alex fronted award winning Folk/Soul band Fearne sharing stages with Feeder, Athlete, Passenger & more for over a decade before becoming one of Europe’s leading Ukulele experts as manager of the Southern Ukulele Store.
Nick Bryson - Bass / Vocals
Nick is one of the South’s premier session bass players & sound engineers having worked on stage with BBC Folk Award winners, Mercury Music prize winners and Ivor Novello nominated bands. Nick even once carried the moniker Nick ‘fingers’ Bryson for the way his fingers tirelessly danced across his bass on stage. Currently bass player for festival favourites Selby & The Dharma Blitz - Nick has collected about 40 years worth of experience in event management, performance and live sound in his 29 years on Earth.
Connor Fox - Drums / Vocals
Connor may be the youngest member of Gentlemen Groove at 21 but he has already carved out an incredible career as a session drummer and is an in-demand frontman in his own right. Having started as a deputy with us when he was just 17 - Connor has a degree in creative musicianship and has already been playing music professionally for more than 10 years. At just 18 he extensively toured Europe and more recently he toured Mexico and Canada on percussion with Anglo/Canadian band ‘The Villanovas’.The drums are arguably the most exciting part of having a live band at your special occasion and with Connor you are in safe hands.

We had Gentleman Groove play at our work's summer party. These guys are true professionals and make it look so easy! Their set list was perfect and they put their own unique sound to tunes we know and love! We will be seeking out other local gigs so we can see you again!

Gentlemen groove played at the drinks reception of our wedding and they were truly amazing. I booked them as a surprise for my husband and they even learnt ‘our song’. I can not recommend them highly enough for weddings or any occasion. From the first email, booking and the actual event they were professional, helpful and highly talented! Thank you so much, I’ll definitely be booking again for any future events.
