Bio
THERE CAN'T BE MANY BANDS WHO PUT THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO EVERY GIG WITH THE POWER AND ENERGY WHICH CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS ROCK N ROLL AT ITS BEST. 17 YEARS OF HARD WORK AND THE BOYS ARE STILL A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. BRITISH MOTOR BIKES ARE A BIG PART OF LUCAS, AND THE BOYS LIFE STYLE. ALL FIVE MEMBERS OWN CLASSIC BIKES. RICHARD HAS A VINCENT RAPIDE, A VINCENT COMET, A TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE AND A BSA. KEITH HAS A BIG BULLET HEAD ROYAL ENFIELD. ALAN HAS A TRIMPH THUNDERBIRD AND 2 ROYAL ENFIELDS. SIMON HAS A BSA THUNDERBOLT. TONY HAS A PURPLE RALEIGH CHOPPER 1972 ( WELL IT'S GOT 2 WHEELS AND IT'S BRITISH BIKE) HENCE THE NAME LUCAS AND THE DYNAMOS. KEITH EX RED HOT MEMBER MET TONY ACE IN 1989, TONY HAD A LOT OF BUSKING EXPERIENCE ALREADY AND WONDERED IF KEITH WOULD LIKE TO DO SOME. THEY DID NOT HAVE A DRUMMER AT THIS TIME, SO KEITH TAUGHT RICHARD (HIS FRIEND AND LANLORD AT THE TIME) HOW TO PLAY THE DRUMS IN A WEEK. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF BUSKING IN RAMSGATE HIGH STREET THE BAND BECAME EXPERIENCED ENOUGH AND THE DECISION WAS MADE TO DO SOME GIGS. AFTER A FEW MONTHS ALAN EX RED HOT (KEITHS BROTHER) INVITED THE BAND TO WALES FOR A FEW GIGS ALAN PLAYED SAX WITH THE BAND AT THESE GIGS AND HAS NEVER LEFT THE BAND SINCE. SOMETIME JUST AFTER THIS KEITH DECIDED HE WANTED A FULLER SOUND, SO SIMON, EX RED HOT, WAS ASKED TO JOIN THE BAND. WITH TV APPERANCES AND RADIO PLAY IT WAS NOT HARD FOR THE BOYS TO GET WORK, THEY HAVE PLAYED ALL OVER THE UK AND SOME PARTS OF EUROPE. THEY HAVE ALSO PRODUCED MANY RECORDINGS WHICH CONTAIN BOTH COVER SONGS AND SELF WRITTEN MATERIAL. THEY HAVE ALSO HAD THE GREAT HONOUR OF PERFORMING WITH SOME GREAT ARTISTS SUCH AS BILL HALEY'S COMETS, BUDDY HOLLY'S CRICKETS, FATS DOMINO, FRANKIE FORD, JACK SCOTT, JOHNNY PRESTON ETC. THE BOYS CAN BE SEEN NOW DOING ABOUT 10 GIGS A YEAR, THEY HAVE CUT DOWN TREMENDOUSLY FROM THEIR EARLY DAYS AS ALL BAND MEMBERS NOW HAVE WORK AND FAMILY COMMITMENTS PLUS ALL LIVE IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.ALAN HAS BEEN RUNNING A ZOO IN WALES FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS AND HAS MANAGED TO BREED CROC.HE SAYS, YOUR ALL WELCOME TO COME TO THE ANIMALARIUM IN BORTH AND MEET ALL OF HIS FRIENDS.SIMON IS TEACHING GUITAR SO IF THE DYNAMOS PLAY OUT OF KEY SIMONS THE MAN TO PUT THING RIGHT TONY ACE ALSO PERFORMS REGULARLY IN THE HONKY TONK SINNERS ,PLAYING WILD 50S ROCKABILLY FROM HIS HOME TOWN OF MEDWAY AND KEITH AND RICHARD CAN BE SEEN PERFORMING IN THE SPITFIRES WITH YOUNG ALAN ,PLAYING 50S CLASSIC AND DANCE TUNES THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT GOOD TIME ROCK N ROLL CHARLIE..Lucas & the Dynamos - Buzz Buzz...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | ..
