Introducing... The Amateurs

The Birmingham based rock group is comprised of: Matthew Colley (vocals/piano), Andrew Fletcher (bass), Jim Holliday (drums) and Alex Wesley (guitar).
The guys have toured extensively throughout the UK, playing alongside artists such as Eliza Doolittle, Robert Plant, Athlete, Guillemots, Cage The Elephant and Reverend and The Makers.
Last year the group was invited exclusively by Oxfam to perform at Leeds Festival and this year the Canadian Music Week in Toronto, Canada. They recently completed a host of national UK tour dates with Eliza Doolittle.
The Amateurs have taken the long road to success, playing hundreds of shows together, honing their talent, building a fan base and perfecting their songs; their latest offering, The Rebel, accompanied by a brand new action packed ‘spy movie’ music video, is the culmination of that work and looks set to establish the band in the mainstream.
