The Pre-Amps

The Pre-Amps are a 4-piece British Retro-influenced Pop/Rock band from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. They specialise in performing covers from the 1960s, covering the likes of The Beatles, The Kinks, The Byrds, Roy Orbison, The Hollies, Jeff Beck and The Monkees to name but a few, whilst combining distinctive 1960s-style vocal harmonies and retro Rock & Roll instrumentation to create a real nostalgic experience that’s sure to get you up dancing!

Known nationwide for their impressive vocal harmonies and their up-beat, feel-good choice of material, The Pre-Amps made a big impression on the North East music scene whilst touring the local pub/club circuit since they left 6th Form College in 2017 and spent time furthering this in the North West during 2017-2020 whilst studying Music Production at Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancashire. The group is currently playing regularly at various venues across the UK where they are continuously gaining a solid reputation as a hard-working, professional and entertaining live act.

They gained great exposure after playing on the front stage at the world-famous Cavern Club, Liverpool for the first time in March 2018 and supported the Small Fakers in the Cavern Club Live Lounge in March 2019, subsequently being asked to return by the venue on several occasions.

In August 2022, The Pre-Amps played on the same bill as The Quarrymen, The Merseybeats and The Pete Best Band at 'Best Fest' at The Casbah Coffee Club in Liverpool and were a big hit with the audience. The band are currently enjoying delving into the Warner Leisure Hotels circuit as well as the likes of Haven and Pontins holiday parks and are garnering high praise from both staff and audience members alike.
