Alex
Hi, my name is Alex and I’m the lead singer in The Vows! I grew up singing in a church choir which gave me the skills and confidence to audition and sing in local bands from around 15 years old. I’ve been singing or playing an instrument in different bands for almost 10 years now, and I still love every second of it. I love music, and I’m hugely influenced by a wide range of artists and genres. If I had to choose my top 3 favourite artists that have influenced my creativity, they would be The 1975, Kanye West and Charli XCX. Outside of the band, I am a huge basketball and American football fan. My favourite basketball team are the LA Lakers and my favourite American football team are the Washington Commanders and I often will stay up late to watch them.
Molly
Hi, I’m Molly and I am the female vocalist in The Vows. My background in performing revolves heavily around musical theatre, having been performing with local amateur dramatic companies since my early teens, performing in shows such as Footloose, 42nd Street and Our House, leading to 3 years at a professional musical theatre college and now studying contemporary musical theatre at degree level at drama school. To me, having the opportunity to perform for people is the biggest blessing. Seeing a crowd of smiling faces in front of me is so rewarding and I am so grateful that I get to spread our party atmosphere as a job. If I were to choose my top 3 favourite artists, I would say Amy Winehouse, Dolly Parton and Lauren Spencer-Smith. In my spare time you’ll either find me watching my favourite stand up comedians, sitcoms or following online yoga tutorials.
Matt
Hello! I’m Matt, and I am responsible for bringing together the fantastic group of musicians that make up The Vows. From as young as the age of 3 I developed a fascination for classic rock with bands such as the Beatles, Thin Lizzy and Guns n’ Roses. Following early classical training in the guitar, I studied for 5 years at BIMM in Manchester, completing a degree and a Masters in Popular music. Using my time at university to explore the psychological and technical aspects of popular musicians learning in ensembles , which directly correlates to my day job as a peripatetic guitar teacher.
Outside of education, I found my feet as a musician, operating nationwide as a session guitarist, producer and live instrumentalist. Utilising skills learned through working in the music industry, playing as a session musician on records encompassing a span of genres, anywhere from EDM, R&B to heavy rock and metal. With most of my live music experience coming from being the lead guitarist in Indie-guitar band The Underclass. A band started with some mates from school, the band have gone on to accumulate over 200,000 streams and have played some coveted slots at some of the UK’s most famous venues and festivals, including the Cavern Club, o2 Academies in Manchester and Leicester and Y Not Festival whilst also playing alongside some of my favourite bands such as Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Courteeneers and Reytons. Playing the guitar is a true passion and something that I adore and I can’t wait for you to see the massive show that we’ve got lined up for you!
Dom
Hi! My name is Dom and I am a pianist/keyboardist. I first started to play when I was about 7 years old, when I would sit at the keyboard with my mum and she would teach me my first few basic songs. I fell in love with the idea of pursuing a musical career and quite quickly, playing the piano/keyboard became a passion and a full time hobby! I went on to study music at GCSE Level and then studied Music Technology at college while starting my gigging journey at the same time. Today I am a freelance sound engineer and full time professional musician! A lot of my inspiration is drawn from the likes of The Beatles and Billy Joel, and more recently discovering a love for the likes of AJR. My spare time is often spent practicing but I also have passions for watching esports, anime and boxing! Music has, and will, always be my passion and end goal in life, there has never been a doubt in my mind that I would love to pursue a musical career and I will do everything I can to make that dream a reality!
Harry
Hi, I’m Harry, Drummer for The Vows. I’ve been drumming for roughly 13 years and I’ve loved every second of my musical journey so far Throughout my time drumming, I’ve completed all of my graded exams, spent a few brilliant years teaching and have had the pleasure of playing live with some of the local areas best musicians, through playing with my grandad who is some what of a local legend when it comes to harmonica playing! My favourite artists include The Killers, Artic Monkeys, Coldplay, Stereophonics and Oasis, however I do love some more modern pop with artists such as Niall Horan, Due Lipa and Taylor Swift.
Ambrose
Hi! My name is Ambrose and I play the bass with The Vows. I first started playing the guitar when I was 7 years old, where I began training as a jazz musician. After going through my guitar grades, I transitioned to playing bass and started playing local jazz festivals with an 18 piece jazz-swing band. I also studied A level music at the time, which is where I first met the guitarist for The Vows - Matt! In 2019, I put my instruments down to study engineering at university. This was a particularly quiet time in my musical career, but during my final year I had the opportunity to play lead guitar in The Pop-up Band which reignited my passion for music, and also gave me an opportunity to learn the sound engineering trade.
Now in the present, I still play local festivals and events with The Pop-up Band, and do sound for several other bands. And most recently, after receiving the call from an old friend, I joined The Vows as their bass player. Due to being exposed to all kinds of music during my life, I've developed quite a broad taste as a consequence. I was first introduced to bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Pink Floyd by my mum. Since learning the guitar, I've really enjoyed artists such as Polyphia and Plini too due to their technical ability. Since learning the bass, I've enjoyed Sungazer's psychedelic jazz-fusion and Vulfpeck's outright funk. I love it all!
