Jon Bon Jovi

Dan has been in the world of entertainment since he could walk. Starting acting and singing at the age of 7. He has appeared in many different stage productions across the country at venues including the Nottingham Playhouse and the Stratford Civic Hall. He started his TV career at an early age also, appearing on BBC’s Rab C Nesbitt.

Dan picked up a guitar for the first time at age 12 and decided he wanted to do something different in life apart from just acting, he started up his first band which quickly took off and headed round the Warwickshire area to gig wherever and whenever.

After performing his original material his band phase never launched to the “taking over the world”  so he then decided to try out the cover band scene.

Years later (And bandless) He joined onto a professional convention band as guitarist and at the same time, started up his own as lead singer. With people constantly commenting on how much he sounded like Jon Bon Jovi (Who he had never seen perform before!!!) He decided to investigate further…

And that leads to today, he is gigging with the world dominating force… Tribute Band that is Bon Giovi. Even though after countless times of being told how much he is like the real thing, how well he sings, how good looking and rock n roll he is, how he plays guitar like a god and is a complete legend!...

Dan retains a perfectly “modest” and mature approach to life.

 Having built his first drum-set at the age of 10, Paul Gray started playing in earnest at the age of 14. He obtained a degree in music at Keele University, taking drums as his main instrument. He then went on to the Drumtech school in London, and studied under Francis Seriau.

In 1994, Paul joined the Eileen Rose fronted band Fledgling, who signed to Nine Inch Nails' TVT label in New York. The band had a couple of successful album releases, and their song 'August' was included in the Sandra Bullock / Denis Leary movie 'Two If By Sea' soundtrack. When Eileen went solo, signing to Rough Trade in the UK, Paul set up his own band Plynth, and enjoyed a successful single release through indie label Streamline records.

Paul's other credits include paying with jazz luminaries Ronnie Price, Nick Ramm and Kay Bywater, a stint with NWOBHM pioneers Angel Witch (the ban cited by Metallica's Lars Ulrich as being the most influential metal band of all time), gigs with contemporary artist Janette Parris and writing music with original band Simpatico for the BBC.

After the success of the December 2003 Bon Giovi Tour in Dubai in which Paul took part, he was asked to join the band as a full-time member.
