“VELVET MAGIC ”

LIVE ENTERTAINMENT

BIOGRAPHY

Velvet Magic as a two piece band comprises keyboards and bass guitar with an enviable reputation for providing high quality dance music.

The band is very strong vocally and musically, with a wide range of material drawn from the Fifties to the Nineties. Both members of the band bring with them a wealth of experience gained through many years of professional work in the industry. This experience together with a wide ranging repertoire ensures that the entertainment provided by the band is ideally suited to the clientele of the “Club Industry” and the over twenty-five market aimed at those people who recognise the lifestyle benefits of dance and relaxing to fine music.

Velvet Magic takes pride in ensuring a totally professional approach to their entertainment package from the standard of dress through to their equipment, stage presence, punctuality and interaction with patrons.

Individually Velvet Magic is -

LAURENCE RICHARDSON (bass, lead guitar, vocal)

Lawrence worked professionally in the club circuit in Sydney for many years establishing a name for himself as a top rating vocalist and musician who communicates well with the audience. In Brisbane he joined “Green Velvet” providing them with a strong lead voice to blend with their fine harmonies. In 1993 Lawrence formed “Velvet Magic” with the aim of concentrating on the club dance market to provide an entertaining package which would feature top quality vocal and musical content with the emphases on “danceability”.

MARK DEARLOVE (keyboards, bass, vocal)

Mark has a classical piano background, achieving his “letters” through the Trinity College of London. Mark has travelled extensively throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales and certainly is no stranger to provincial towns. In a career spanning more than 30 years Mark has provided a foundation for top line backing bands supporting such artists as Dennis Knight, Lyn Rogers, Don Whittaker, Maria Dallas, Judith Durham, Carter Edwards, Little Patty and John McSweeney to name a few. Mark’s practical skills (he is also an electrician) have rescued the band on several occasions when the “lights were out”.
