“DOUBLE TAKE” is yet another format from Colin Fidoe and Geoff Bate - this time offering popular hits from a total of five decades of chart material.
They have both been playing and singing in bands since the tender age of 12 years with Colin playing bass guitar with the “Whirlwinds” whilst Geoff’s first band, appropriately enough was called “The Young Ones”.
Along with every other young hopeful 60’s band they put their songs on to vinly but it wasn’t until the early 80’s that either one of them had any form of chart success. The Heavy Metal charts in 1983 listed an album called “Against All Odds” which featured Geoff’s band “Quartz” and Colin’s funk band “Capidici” hit the European charts in 1980 with his self- penned single “Hero”.
They have now been together for 9 years working in theatres, festivals and cabaret both here in the UK and
abroad.
Double Take have now been around for over 100 years between them and have fond memories of playing alongside the likes of the Searchers, Fortunes, Troggs, Hollies, Slade, Alvin Stardust, David Bowie, Robert Plant and Quo.
