.. Condensed History:
Mike, Drew, Dave and Matt first joined forces back in early 1996.
The common link being a passion for British 60's R'n'B, Soul and late 70's New Wave, plus the emergence of an inspirational five piece from Manchester (Oasis) which led them to form a band. The main influences at this time being Oasis,The Jam, The Who and The Small Faces. A veritable cornucopia of MOD if you will. After playing a few local gigs the band developed a loyal following which thankfully still remains today. The band began to play many Hull and East Yorkshire venues along side the Grimsby/North Lincolnshire pub circuit (see gigs page on website). At this time a sizable Hull following emerged. But by November 1999 after three years and some two hundred dates the band had decided to take break .
All was quiet for until May 2001 at Mike's 30th birthday bash the musical flame was rekindled. Rehearsals took place during the summer and autumn and in December 2001 CIRCA: played their comeback gig to a packed Hainton Inn in Grimsby,
