Formed in 2000 by the coming together of Mark Dylan and Andy Gardner who both had successful careers with other high flying outfits. They set to work forming what turned out to be a very successful tribute show performing all over the UK. This culminated with a live gig performing in front 25,000 people at Party in the Park.Amongst satisfied clients to date are Ant and Dec, Ricky Hatton, Lee Sharpe, The cast of Hollyoaks and Coronation Street.Corporate clients include; The British Dental Association, Burnley Football Club, Leeds Utd Football Club, Yorkshire Post, Telegraph and Argus, Telewest Communications, British Telecom, Bradford and Bingley, The Abbey National, The Pulse FM, BBC Radio Leeds to name but a few.As a result of this they soon realised that their talents could be used in a more universal show.Mark Dylan (Lead Vocals)Mark is the son of an ex-professional musician & live music venue owner, so from an early age mark has been a part of the British live music scene.Singing part time and professionally in bands since he was 16 and playing a little guitar also, helped him to form the IPD’S along with Paul.Marks experience with large and small crowds is vast, having worked as a singer and compere in Tenerife and Italy Mark soon gained the banter and the ability to perform the correct material for each event from festivals to the most intimate wedding and reads the party perfectly.J.P Robinson (Drums)JP is the newest member of the International Party Doctors and brother of Jamie. JP started playing drums at the age of 11 and has been gigging since the age of 15. Since then he has toured extensively with and supported a number of bands including Marillion, Roy Wood, Lady Gaga and Tim Burges (The Charlatans). He has also spent alot of time plying his trade in a number of studios both in the the UK and Los Angeles working with the likes of Tim Atack (Romeo & Juliet) and Marshall Altmen (Robbie Williams, Keane, Kings of Leon).Often seen as the joker in the band and is often the one keeping spirits high when the band are on a long haul gig with his plethera of comical gags and impersonations Alan Beckett (Guitar)After J.P was recruited they then went on the search for a guitarist and after hunting high and low with numerous auditions they discovered Alan Beckett. Alan had spent 12 years playing guitar with signed outfit “Bad Beat Revue”. This band came to a natural end with all the players pursuing different roles within the music industry.At the time of this they were starting to break through and were performing with likes of The Kaiser Chiefs, Hard Fi and the Pigeon Detectives to name but a few. Jamie Robinson (Bass)Jamie was wanted by the band for a while but they had to join the queue due to his popularity amongst the “Rock” fraternity. Having played with and supported the likes of Metalica, The Blue Oyster Cult, Marrilion and Ocean Colour Scene it wasn’t difficult to see why.He has also performed with Bob Geldolf on a successful European tour.
