Marquis Drive have been together for 20+yrs having started life as a band called “ Toxic Jade” in 1991. After winning a local radio stations Battle of the Bands and recording at BBC’s Pebble Mill Studios the band enjoyed a roller coaster ride supporting and sharing the same stage as many of the big 90’s bands such as, Dodgy, Ocean Colour Scene, Embrace, Blutones, Cornershop, Shed 7, Supergrass, Wonderstuff, Miles & Erica, Chris Helme (Seahorses & The Yards), John Power (The La’s & Cast), Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets) Jimbob (Carter USM).

It made sense, with this level of experience behind them, to set up Marquis Drive and to recreate the authentic sound of the 90's.

The band come complete with state of the art equipment and lighting, not something you could always expect from the original bands!

As well as anthems from the 90′s Britpop and Madchester scene the band goes back to the their roots in British Mod, SKA & the Northern Soul scene, with songs going back to the 60′s - really something for almost everyone.

The band are experienced pros. Volume will be at your discretion and again, unlike many of the original acts, you'll find them punctual and easy to work with.

The lads are normally dressed in the style of the era - but they do scrub up well, particularly for weddings and corporate events.
