The Band

Formed in 2010, Playing for Kicks have taken our eclectic assortment of rock and pop covers as far afield as France and Wales, but mainly all corners of Bradford. Our line-up has changed little over more than 150 gigs.

Mike

Mike

Guitar/Vocals

Plays the easy bits and leaves the tricky stuff to others, mainly so he can bop about, while imagining he’s in front of the mirror with a hairbrush.

Eddie

Bass

Bass

Somehow combines laid back cool with great dynamic playing. Our longest serving bass player, he has proved a real asset!

Cath

Cath

Drums/Vocals

Feeds us with her energy, loves stepping forward, but is never happier than when she’s bashing away at the back... ahem...

Nat

Nat

Vocals

Our newest member. Nat joined us at the beginning of 2023 and her fantastic voice and harmonies gives us a whole new dynamic
