Chloe Foston’s presentation of all your favourites is truly breathtaking, and with a full live band to back her you are guaranteed a night filled with wonderful music that you will remember long after it’s over.

The Band

STEVE CUNLIFFE – Bass & Vocals

Since the 1980’s, Steve has played bass in bands all over the world on cruise ships, in holiday camps, cabaret venues, and even in the orchestra pit for panto’s every Christmas.

He has varied musical tastes including soul, rock and jazz but can play any style as he is a maestro of the bass and a consummate professional.

ROY FRENCH – Rhythm Guitar

Roy has been involved in music for longer than he cares to remember, playing genres from Swing Bands to full on Rock.

Many years were spent as a drummer, but in the late 1990’s he has established himself on guitar and has performed all over the UK in various covers bands. Equally at home either on stage or in the recording studio, Roy always gets a ‘BUZZ’ from entertaining people.

SANDRA McSHANNON – Keyboards & Vocals

Sandra has been a musician for most of her life and first started accompanying artistes in her teens. From then on she performed in social clubs as well as playing the organ for services at her local church. Over the years she has built up a wealth of performing experience and later began teaching. She now runs her own music school, The Yamaha Music School of Stockport, and also teaches privately.

Sandra has a broad range of musical tastes and is equally happy playing and listening to anything from classical music to hard rock.

GARETH RONAN – Drums & Vocals

Gaz started drumming at an early age by hitting his toys on peoples knees! From the age of 18 he has toured the UK with original bands, supporting signed acts and playing various styles and genres. Gaz is now a professional musician and tours holiday parks & clubs throughout the UK and overseas. When not drumming Gaz also is a renowned vocalist in a Cabaret Duo on the northern circuit, and has been fortunate enough to perform alongside stars like “Freddie Starr” on his north Pier Show at Blackpool. Since meeting Chloe their love for great music and especially the Carpenters lead them to form “Solitaire” … a show that they are rightly proud of … and one certainly not to be missed!

Steve has been involved in music for over 30 years. He is a multi-instrumentalist that specialises in the guitar and he has fronted a number of bands either of his own creation or as a session musician.
