Throughout John’s childhood, he was always surrounded by the great music his parents would play. Listening in awe at the the vocal brilliance of Joe Cocker, Steve Marriott, Rod Stewart or Elvis Presley to name but a few. As he grew older, having been inspired by his heroes, he added some of his own spice and what came out was the vocal powerhouse you see today. The range of this man’s voice is truly outstanding and not something you hear in any other cover band. Also playing rhythm guitar, John is known to break out his Harmonica when required.

Lead guitarist, sound engineer, lighting tech, all round nice guy – Matt’s roles in the band are endless. Wielding his axe from a young age and striving to play like his idols, playing covers is his natural musical habitat. With a background in music technology, getting onto the other side of the mixing desk and joining McVicar has allowed Matt to justify his obsession with buying guitars and gear along with having a good old rock out! Be sure to check out his home made double neck guitar “Pix” when he’s not soloing in your face on one of his Les Paul’s.

The Engine Room of the band, Guy has been gigging for 30 years (clearly having started as a toddler). He served his rock n’ roll apprenticeship in an eclectic list of covers and signed original bands, before finding his musical and spiritual home in the brotherhood of McVicar. From supporting rock legends at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire to shooting a video in New York’s famous Bitter End, it’s been a wild ride that has its echo in every thunderous stomp on that kick drum pedal. When you can hear him above that rolling thunder, his backing vocals nestle sweetly behind the power from John’s golden pipes. But first and foremost for Guy (or ‘Gus’ as the boys call him, for reasons that were long ago lost at the bottom of a bottle of Jack) it’s about locking in with his brother-in-rhythm, Ed, and nailing that damn groove to the floor.

Ed started playing guitar at the age of 10 and it wasn’t until the age of 19 when he started a course at West Herts Music college in Watford, he found the right instrument – the bass! Playing in originals and covers bands since the age of 13, Ed had thought he’d played most songs on the covers circuit – until he joined McVicar in late 2015 and discovered the art of the rock mash-up. Ed has played gigs at venues from America to Australia but now doesn’t like to venture too far away from Guy’s right foot! As one half of the McVicar rhythm section, Ed can be found pulling all sorts of bass faces to the funkier side of the set.
