He has been a singer for 16 years working in Pubs and Clubs in the Beds, Bucks, Northants & London area. Mark started off singing on a local karaoke 20 years ago and then was one half of a male duo act. Within this time Mark then decided to branch out solo where he was singing in regular venues. He then gave up singing due to family commitments, but music never left him. Marks passion is singing and even though he gave up singing professionally, he still went out on the odd karaoke and sang some of his favourite tunes. One of these tunes being “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me “this track would go on to being quite a regular and popular track in his future gigs. 4 years ago, Mark decided to go back to singing again and entered a few showcases and hasn’t looked back since. His back catalogue of songs includes genres from Rock n Roll, Soul, POP, Soft Rock, Easy Listening, Country and Swing. He sings songs charting from the 1950’s - early 2000. He also does a tribute show to the late great George Michael as George was one of Marks idols growing up. Mark says that everyone has to have a little music in their lives as it lifts the Soul and Mark promises to lift your souls when he is here.

In 1994 she co-wrote a number one hit The Real Thing for the artist Toni Di Bart. 1995 saw her sign to EMI publishing and EDEL records to create the album Suicidal Angel which was released to critical acclaim with the single I Said Hey receiving 6 weeks air play on Radio One To Be Loved from this album was remixed and became a huge New York underground hit in the gay clubs At this time Lucinda wrote two further top 20 hits and was asked to cowrite with several of EMI’s signings. Then aged around 28 Lucinda began a serious spiritual journey. She started meditating regularly with an organisation called The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. This brought about a profound change in the music and she was dropped by her record and publishing company who no longer knew how to market her. The new music had a different kind of message as the intention was to create a sound imbued with beauty and depth that could enhance spiritual awareness and transformation. Something the pop industry struggled with. Her own transformation and experiences lead to the creation of the seminal album A Hundred Thousand Angels (written and produced with Andrew Blissett) which is played all over the world in many different contexts with the title song becoming a classic in the fields of healing, Yoga, meditation and New Thought. Lucinda is now invited all over the world to perform at gatherings of world leaders, at peace conferences and in numerous spiritual centres. She has sung in The Albert Hall and Wembley Stadium, London, The Washington Press Office, The Pyramids in Mexico, The Agape Spiritual centre in LA, as well as venues across Australia India and Europe, She has both sung and spoken in Prisons, Hospitals, Monasteries, Schools, Hospices and Village Halls Lucinda sings from the heart to the heart and has recently completed her 9th album. Her work is dedicated to raising human awareness and her own personal journey has led her to train as a counsellor. Lucinda is now in private practice in London and runs workshops all over the world. She is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and is currently doing a post graduate qualification with REACH. Lucinda is passionate about empowering the self and using meditation and music to access the divine. Her ability to create sacred space with her presence and her voice is powerful and yet accessible. her journey continues http://www.lucindadrayton.com/ http://link.deephire.com/wrz7 RUPERT SMITH A highly passionate and dedicated musician, growing up Rupert performed on electric guitar with big band jazz ensembles, rock/fusion groups as well as playing at private party events.
