On The Rocks have been playing together in various incarnations for since 1994, although most of us have been friends since we were teenagers in the late 1970's.
Since forming in April 1994, the band's been through various line-ups, changing from six to four to five-piece... and with a few 'guest vocalists' joining in for special occasions.
OTR play all sorts of music from the 1960's (sometimes cheating and venturing into the late 50's or early 70's). From rock'n'roll to pop and rock, including favourites from the Beatles, Stones, Who, Faces, Monkees and Shadows to name but a few.
  Colin - Bass Guitar and vocals
The driving force behind the band, Beatles fan Colin has been making music since he was in his teens. Ordained in 2004, Colin always finds time for music despite his hectic life as father of three, schoolteacher and Curate of Holy Rood Church, Stubbington. Colin is the first point of contact for booking the band and is always happy to discuss possible opportunities for gigs.
 Paul - Lead Guitar and vocals
As well as playing lead guitar, motorcyclist Paul is responsible for lighting and occasional special effects... and websites. Paul is also propriotor of Mars Guitars, an online shop selling guitarist goodies. Paul is happy to supply you with eveything to do with guitars, including capos, electric guitar strings, acoustic guitar strings and all sorts of guitar accessories.
 Rosemary - Vocals and tambourine
Pop trivia expert Rosie has been singing with Colin since early childhood... she's his sister! Rosemary enjoys vegetarian cooking, cats (she is an RSPCA volunteer as well as caring for her own family of moggies), and music of all kinds.
 Alan - Rhythm Guitar and vocals
Alan Bohling was rhythm guitarist with 60's sensation Sons of Fred, and his claims to fame include recording at Abbey Road and appearing on Ready Steady Go. Alan wrote all of Sons of Fred's hit singles, which are still available on the ''Freak beat' album. OTR were privileged to have Alan join in 2002 after he returned to the UK from the USA.
 Beck - Drums and vocals
Another of the original and core members of OTR... always hiding at the back, drummer Beck is the rhythmic foundation of the band - always heard, but seldom seen!
On The Rocks are based in the Gosport/Stubbington/Fareham area in Hampshire, UK and are available for gigs in this area... subject to availability.
