'the Valentine Vagabonds' came into being when a diverse group of musicians with a highly impressive track record were brought together to perform and record Chris Beck's original concept album of songs - 'Valentine Vagabond'.  So enjoyable was this experience that they all agreed they wanted to continue playing together.

Apart from presenting and playing Chris's own original material, 'Chris Beck and the Valentine Vagabonds' offer the option and opportunity to book them to perform classic hit songs of the 50s/early 60s at any Venue or Event. This highly experienced and talented 5-piece band of musicians have, between them, played and graced stages and studios worldwide with renowned and legendary artists Chuck Berry, Gene Pitney, Marti Wilde, Cliff Richard, Paul McCartney, The Crickets, The Tornados……
