   About The Sharpee's
The Sharpee's are a top Blues/Rock Guitar Stars ReCovered band, delivering a professional, no compromise performance of some the best blues and rock music from the eras.
Due to personnel changes in 2006 the range of heroes re-discovered has expanded to include Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Small Faces, The Rolling Stones.
Even Cliff Richard and Buddy Holly get the Sharpee's R & B treatment. New original material in being added gradually.
The Sharpee's - Telephone

Add to My Profile Up to the end of 2005 The original Sharpees performed their own material with a few favourite covers thrown in to compliment this Their 1983 album was re-released on Red Admiral Records

Previous History

Originally a North Kent based band made up of three ex-members of Rebel who played at most of the Kent and London circuit in the late 70's and early 80's. They released their first single "Rocka Shocka" with the well known East London label Bridgehouse Records.

In the early Eighties they started to record all original material at Graham Q Jones' Oakwood Studios in Herne Bay. The recordings were sent to various management companies and the band were offered a contract with Fischer Z Management in London and European tour as support to FischerZ plus a singles deal with A&M records. Everything was in the right place including an albums worth of material ready to go but the band unfortuanately split up on the eve of signing all contracts.


The Sharpee's - Album: Strangers download for £7.99 at the best world download sites. The Sharpee's name was derived after an eating and drinking spree in the "Mad Chef" seafood restaurant, Broadstairs, Kent, while Bill and Pete were entertaining their other halves. It actually means a rather unsavoury chap in Sydney, Australia, i.e.; spiv, thug, but Bill and Pete just loved the title! They drafted in John Smith on drums, the most logical choice as he had been with Bill and Pete for the last 5-6 years, and was also up for the challenge. Gig's were played all over the south coast, but most notably, some prestigious venues in London. The Marquee, Wardour Street, Soho. Dingwalls, Camden Lock. The Nashville Rooms, Kensington (Where Motorhead's Lemmy liked the band so much he tried to buy Bill's Rickenbacker! Pete also had a Pernod contest with Steve Jones from the Sex Pistol's, and Gary Holton from The Heavy Metal Kids joined in the fun! The Golden Lion, Fulham. The Greyhound, Fulham Broadway. The Hope And Anchor, Islington.

Good evening! I'll be starting a tour in the UK next week, and wanted to let you know. You may have heard my guitar playing and not even realized it was me. I played with Buddy Holly, and when you listen to "It's So Easy" or "Heartbeat"...well, that is me. We will play some of the Buddy Holly songs that i played on so many years ago, and a few more! I might even sing a couple. I hope you can make one of the dates? Best, Tommy Allsup
