Bula Bula specialise in classic '50s rock'n'roll and early '60s chart material, covering artists like 'The Everly Brothers', tGene Vincent', 'Marvin Rainwater', 'Eddie Cochran', Roy Orbison', and 'The Beatles', to name just a few~ As you might imagine from a duo with a combined age of 110 whose careers started in the late fifties, their repertoire is immense.
Andy Perrott (acoustic guitar and vocals) started out as half of the 'Antones' with Tony Sweet and has featured in several local rock'n'roll bands including the 'Echoes' and the legendary 'Bristol Comets'. Andy left the music business for a twenty year sabbatical but returned in 1984 as front man with the reformed 'Comets'.
Tony Dodd (electric guitar and vocals) started his career in music at about the same time, as guitarist for 'Mike Tobin and the Magnets'. Unlike Andy, Tony has been playing continually since those heady days with the Magnets, including a band in the USA where he lived for three years. Locally Tony held down a residency at the renowned 'Dug Out' club and his bands include 'Hugget' and 'Dodds Army', and he is now a member of the Bristol Comets'.
Throughout Tony's career he has had the opportunity to play alongside many luminaries, though his modesty doesn't make this general knowledge, and when 'The Rolling Stones played at the Corn Exchange in the early sixties, Tony was in the band that supported them.
Andy and Tony formed Bula Bula about nine years ago and have naturally gained a huge following, not only with rock'n'rollers but with anyone of any age who likes good music played well by two people who obviously love and enjoy what they do.
