"To simply call Dark Horses a covers band does them a disservice.
Tonight they had the place rocking like I've never seen it
with a set covering everything from AC/DC to ZZ Top.
To use the hackneyed reality TV phrase, they owned the stage.
Absolutely brilliant and can't wait to see them again"

About the Band
Formed in 2012, Dark Horses are five musicians who came together with the sole intention of breathing new life into classic rock songs from the late1960's onwards. David provides the powerful main vocals - and authentic sounding guitar, bass, drums and keyboards from Sam, Mark Steve and Rich complete the line-up.
For more intimate venues, Dark Horses now also offer an alternative acoustic set.
Full pa and lighting are included ... providing the audience with a musical trip into a bygone era that’s just itching to spring back to life.
Based around Coventry, with a wealth of experience, the band have gigged extensively in the Midlands and further afield, and earn many repeat bookings.
*David Seeley – Vocals
With his obligatory flowing ‘rock locks’ David is definitely Dark Horses’ ‘mane’ man. His early training in opera has now given him the ability to sing in almost any style required, and his boundless enthusiasm to perform gives the band a genuine edge.
​
*Sam Baxter – Guitar & backing vocals
Self taught guitarist Sam has been a side-man playing many styles, punk, funk, soul, ska, indie, folk and blues, giving him a background of tricks and licks now put to good use in Dark Horses, where he finally gets to play the music he grew up listening to as a kid. It's about time.

*Mark Nisbet – Bass Guitar & backing vocals
After playing bass in many bands, from prog rock to folk, and everything inbetween, multi-instrumentalist Mark now brings his valuable experience to the stable of Dark Horses.

*Rich Evans - Keyboards
Gigging since the age of 7 (local church, hymns for the congrugation! lol ) Steel Pan band World Tour at 17 (played 2 weeks in hong kong , and 2 weeks in trinidad) Then a local boy band, followed by many years working on the corporate function circuit, Rich has always followed this sound advice...."Never leave without your keys".

*Robert Jefferies - Drums and backing vocals
With the enthusiasm of a sixteen year old, and still daft as a pair of brushes, Rob joined to take on the stick bashing duties for the acoustic set, but has now graduated to full time drummer for Dark Horses
