HISTORY
The Rat Pack are a happy medium between Rockabilly and Jive with the strength to bring the house down.
The band was formed in May 2000 and were on the road by June 1st.The line-up changed in September that year with Martin Botley joining on lead guitar shortly followed by Luke Dodd on drums.
August 2003 saw another line up change by way of Martin leaving to pursue other projects and being replaced by Ian Rivers (ex Rockin’ Crusaders)

After a look at the band’s versatility and styles it was decided on another line-up change in the way of a forth member Steve Hallford joining as the drummer, Luke going on to double bass, Mick transferring to rhythm guitar Ian remaining in his well known position as lead guitarist.
Luke has now left the band due to other commitmentsand The Rat Pack are a 3-piece band once again.
The band would like to thank all previous members of the band for their groundwork and all supporters of us and Rock’n’Roll. Keep the Faith - the rest is History.
