Originally formed in 2018 the Retro Rock'its was born with then founders Chris While (Guitar) and Jules Freeman (Drums) and toured around the south coast of England playing classic rock covers.
Disbanded around COVID and a couple of brief stop and starts, the band has finally reformed by Chris and Jules with new members "Vass" (Vocals), Pete (Guitar) and Jay-Lee (Bass).
Classic and Modern Rock is still very much the theme, and the band delivers in complete professional style that will get you dancing right off the bat.
