Featuring Melissa & Tracey together with a rhythm section with decades of experience, Reload pride themselves on producing a quality evening of fabulous music from the last six decades for private and public functions that will guarantee to fill the dance floor. If you would like a special decade, (e.g. 70's or 80's) or you want a selection of 50's to modern-day classics for your event, Reload can cater for all your needs. With live guitar, bass, drums and vocals, Reload add professional quality synth backing tracks enabling them to achieve an incredibly authentic reproduction of each original song. Pre-mixed interval music, use of the PA for speeches and a special dedicated request song for the band to play at a special part of your event, will all be included. Reload are always aware that you have a budget to work within and charge very realistic rates to give you an evening of great music at a price that won't break the bank! Reload are reliable, friendly, experienced and professional. When not performing as RELOAD, Melissa and Tracey are also available as a duo called HALO performing a cracking setlist of "Guilty Pleasure" covers from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Dua Lipa, Blondie, Donna Summer, Dusty Springfield, Kate Bush, Queen.. the list goes on.....
Performing to audiences who love our music and watching people smile and get up and dance. We pride ourselves learning every nuance to emulate covers how they are meant and expected to be heard.
We are truly overwhelmed when guests come up and thank us at the end of the evening.
We all have had a passion for performing music since an early age and our experienced in what we do.
Neil Oglieve (vocals & guitar) was a founder member of Reload and has seen the band evolve into the well-polished covers band they are today. Neil’s heart is in the 80's really, but he loves all the genres Reload cover. “I never thought I would be in a band who cover the sort of songs we do”, he has commented, “from Disco to rock and everything in between!” Neil also runs, Studio 102, a small recording studio, where Reload put together their ideas for forthcoming events and he builds the synth backing tracks, that Reload require for the big authentic stage sound they create.
Steve Biggs (bass & background vocals) was originally inspired to pick up a guitar by the Beatles then switched to the bass and has never looked back. Other early influences include The Who, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Led Zep and many more since. Equally at home playing 60’s beat, 70’s disco, glam & prog rock, 80’s/90’s pop & indie through to modern dance music, Steve has played in clubs, pubs and functions with bands across the home counties since the 70's and has been reliably laying down the low end for Reload since 2007.
Jon Dawes (drums & background vocals) has been a drummer and percussionist since his school days, playing in numerous bands and orchestras and he enjoys a wide variety of musical styles. Being in Reload has allowed him to play some of the very best music ever written. Jon is also the technical mastermind behind much of the modern technologies that Reload use, including the midi controlled DMX lighting shows synchronised to the songs to produce a very unique visual experience added to the great audio show delivered by Reload.
Melissa White (lead vocals) knew from a very young age, that she wanted to perform, usually with a hairbrush in front of the TV dancing and singing to Top of the Pops! She joined her local school band "The Millstones" who played around Sussex and did two tours in Germany. Melissa also performed with a choir at Brighton Dome and at the Royal Albert Hall. Her natural ability to harmonise effortlessly along with a passion for singing will always be in her blood. Influences include Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush and Abba (with a bit of 70-80's disco thrown in!)
Tracey O’Reilly (lead vocals) has always felt passionate about music and from as early as she can remember was determined to do nothing else! Inspired by Stevie Wonder, Tracey taught herself to sing at the age of nine and by the age of fifteen was singing publicly. Further influenced by Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight and Randy Crawford, Tracey performed in various bands from The Ronnie Keene show band to a Gospel Choir. Singing has always and continues to be Tracey's passion, heart and soul!
