THE CORSAIRS

The Corsairs are one of those bands that have been entertaining venues up and down the country for the last 30 years. They are still as fresh today as day one. They hold there own by playing covers of all those favourite Ska and Punk classics which we love, but with their own added psychobilly twist and performing each classic song at 200mph.

You have got to be at a Corsairs gig to fully understand this comment. The Corsairs bring a whole new meaning to the saying “ loud and proud “.

Front man is Mark Loveridge who gives nothing but 150% at all The Corsairs gigs. He is what a real showman and entertainer should be. Mark can adapt to all audiences at a flick of his double bass - sheer class.

Behind Mark you have Nigel Parsler, who is a very talented drummer who like Mark, enjoys performing live music and making people happy and that’s the driving force behind The Corsairs.

It doesn’t matter how many Corsairs gigs you go to everyone is different and to me that’s why they are so special and still performing today.

My personal favourite, from the lads, is Tears of a Clown which is the best cover version of the classic Smokey Robinson I have heard. I just had to slip that in !

I am writing this for your insight to the band whilst you are listening to this cd. I hope you can feel what I feel, when I am at a Corsairs gig.

So crank up the volume and enjoy one of the hardest working bands out there or even better go and support them at one of there gigs and help keep music fresh and live.
