A passionate guitarist with over 25 years of gigging experience, Simon has built a life around the electric guitar—playing it, talking about it, and even building it.

A passionate guitarist with over 25 years of gigging experience, Simon has built a life around the electric guitar—playing it, talking about it, and even building it. A lifelong fan of the iconic Fender Stratocaster, he picked up the guitar as a teenager inspired by the legendary tones of Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, and Eddie Van Halen. His playing style blends melodic precision with expressive flair, shaped by decades performing with cover bands in the UK and USA. Whether on stage or at the workbench, his love for the instrument is unmistakable!
Phil is the heartbeat of the band on rhythm guitar and backing vocals. With over 25 years of musical experience, he’s graced the stage with various bands, including THE legendary Dead Squirrels (yes, you read that right—no accidental capitalisation here!).

Phil is the heartbeat of the band on rhythm guitar and backing vocals.

Armed with two stunning Taylor electro acoustic guitars (one 6-string and one 12-string) and his trusty LR Baggs acoustic pedal, Phil brings a unique sound and energy to every performance. A true music lover, he thrives on collaboration and creativity, always ready to share his passion for music.
Drummer, bassist, frontman, lead... all these options were available to Jeff but, like so many, he couldn’t resist the draw of being what is naturally seen as the coolest role in any band - the keyboard player. Think rock star, you just think keyboard right?

Drummer, bassist, frontman, lead... all these options were available to Jeff but, like so many, he couldn’t resist the draw of being what is naturally seen as the coolest role in any band - the keyboard player. Think rock star, you just think keyboard right?
Breaking the mould somewhat though, he does not in fact live alone with several cats.
Jeff was first introduced to keys through piano lessons from his dad and has played in several bands over the years, playing many different styles. He enjoys trying to pick up and play almost any piece of music he hears and likes - from classical to rock to bits from his daughter’s favourite TV programmes - tinkering around on the piano is when he is most relaxed.
Jeff plays a Roland RD2000 because it has a great piano feel and one day hopes to get some kind of handle on what all the lights and controls actually do!
Ian first picked up the drums at age ten, quickly realising that it was his true passion. His love for live performance was solidified during an early gig with a soul punk band called The Peashooters, formed by his art school tutor, Pete Gibson, who also fronted the legendary Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts. Since then, Ian has played
Ian first picked up the drums at age ten, quickly realising that it was his true passion. His love for live performance was solidified during an early gig with a soul punk band called The Peashooters, formed by his art school tutor, Pete Gibson, who also fronted the legendary Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts. Since then, Ian has played in diverse venues, from colleges and pubs to the Brighton Centre and a cool blues club in Chicago, showcasing styles like classic rock, indie, punk, jazz-funk, blues, soul, funk, pop, and country.
His drumming heroes include Charlie Watts (The Rolling Stones), Stewart Copeland (The Police), Pete Thomas (The Attractions), and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Currently, his favourite songs to play are “Locked Out of Heaven” and “Sk8er Boi.”
Ian uses a five-piece Gretsch Renown kit, paired with a DW black nickel & brass snare, which he considers a true beauty, along with Zildjian cymbals.

"I cannot recommend this band more highly. Firstly they stepped into the breach at short notice to help us out when we lost a band last minute, but then they really brought a brilliant vibe to our event! From the off the music was so good. Such a professional band with an amazing and diverse repertoire and a feel good vibe. Loved having you at our event and would definitely book again. Thank you band - you’re superstars! (10/10)"

"The band were an absolute delight to work with for our annual Christmas party. From the initial booking process to the performance on the night, they were incredibly helpful, professional and accommodating.
The quality of their musicianship was outstanding and they had the dance floor packed all night with an energetic and engaging set. Crowd interaction was fantastic, they really helped to create a celebratory atmosphere that made the event a huge success.
We were thoroughly impressed by their professionalism, both in terms of their communication leading up to event (special shoutout to Simon!) and their execution on the night, they arrived promptly and delivered an exceptional performance.
We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire affordable live music for their event. They were a pleasure to work with and played a big part in making our Christmas party one to remember!"

MY WIFE AND I HAD THE GREAT FORTUNE OF FINDING THE KIMBERLEY GRAE BAND THROUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH AND WE BOOKED THE BAND FOR A CHARITY “DO” IN OUR GARDEN IN PIRBRIGHT, SURREY. I LIAISED WITH SIMON BENNETT THE BAND LEADER AND HE VISITED OUR GARDEN TO SEE THE SET UP BEFOREHAND AND WE REMAINED IN CONTACT THROUGHOUT AND UP TO THE “DO”.
MY GIG IN THE GARDEN 12TH JULY 2025 REVIEW:
ALL IN THE BAND ARE POLITE, PROFESSIONAL AND BRILLIANT ARTISTS/MUSICIANS. THEY ARRIVED PROMPTLY TO SET UP IN GOOD TIME FOR THE “DO”. THE MUSIC WAS BRILLIANT AND MANY, MANY GUESTS REMARKED THAT THEY WERE THE BEST BAND THEY HAD SEEN FOR AGES. THEIR SET LIST COVERED A GREAT MANY POP AND ROCK CLASSICS AS WELL AS A FEW TRACKS MUSIC NERDS SUCH AS MYSELF HADN’T HEARD IN AGES. A GOOD HANDFUL OF GUESTS TOOK THE BANDS BUSINESS CARD AND I AM SURE THEY WILL GET SOME OTHER BOOKINGS FROM THEM. I WOULDN’T HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THE KIMBERLEY GRAE BAND AND I AM SURE SHOULD WE HOLD THE CHARITY DO NEXT YEAR, I WILL DEFINITELY BOOK AGAIN.
