introduction - a little bit about us

formed in the summer of 2023.

Mel was the first to respond to Shaun’s online advert asking for ‘musicians of a certain maturity’ and following a discussion over a cappuccino and a skinny latte, the band was conceived. well……… you know what i mean.

Kev followed shortly and then Andy.  Once the basis of the band was set up, we began the most laborious of processes – trying to agree on a name……… oh and finding a singer.

For the rest of 2023 and deep into 2024 a couple of singers came and then went, which left us fully rehearsed but without a vocalist.  Having met with a few potential singers, it wasn’t until Mel had a light bulb moment and decided to invite a friend of a friend along to rehearsal – and Esther has stayed ever since. one of your better ideas mel.

in the autumn of 2024 we welcomed chris on keys and since his arrival he has provided us with an extra dimension to what we do.

People often ask, what type of band is Cadence?  Shaun has always said, ‘We are like no other band - we are Cadence.  I’m sure there are the inevitable comparisons with other bands, but Cadence are a group of people who get together and make great music and then occasionally ply their wares on the unsuspecting public. we’re incomparable - ha’.

Ultimately, cadence are not a regular gigging band as we are selective in where we play. This is primarily due to members of the band having spent years playing music and now enjoy a more sedate and selective experience. That said, if you do like what you hear and you would like us to play somewhere near you, please do enquire and you never know. 

Love to you all, from the Cadence brothers & sisters.
