Anna & The Tonics

Anna brings a natural warmth and effortless versatility to every performance. With a voice that moves easily between soulful classics, modern hits and powerful rock anthems, she knows how to create the perfect atmosphere for each moment — from a couple’s first dance to a packed dance floor late into the night.

She’s happiest when she can make people smile, whether that’s leading the crowd in a singalong or performing a special request that means something personal. Oh, and if you’re lucky, she might even bring out her keytar!

Anna feels genuinely grateful to share the stage with such talented musicians, whose creativity and good humour make every show a joy. Together, they bring the right mix of professionalism, personality, and heart to every event — helping to make each celebration one to remember.

Chas is the kind of guitarist who can turn his hand to just about anything — and make it sound effortless. With years of experience under his belt, including a recent UK tour with a Britpop tribute band, he brings both skill and soul to every performance.

What sets Chas apart isn’t just his technical brilliance (though his fingers really can fly across the strings!) — it’s the way he puts his own stamp on everything he plays. Even the most familiar solo becomes something fresh and exciting once Chas has worked his magic, transforming it into a moment you won’t forget. 

Offstage, Chas is a self-confessed gear enthusiast (some might say obsessive!). From guitars to amps to pedals, he believes in nothing less than the best — and it shows in every note he plays. While he could easily steal the spotlight, Chas is all about the music, bringing both precision and passion to the band in equal measure.

Matt might be the quietest member of the band on stage, but his playing speaks volumes. Entirely self-taught since the age of 14, he first learned by jamming along to Red Hot Chili Peppers cassettes and has since gone on to play everything from funk and disco to northern soul, rock, and beyond. His versatility and musicianship make him the steady groove at the centre of everything we do.

Matt’s not one for the spotlight, but he has a knack for giving each song exactly what it needs — always tasteful, always musical. And when he slips in a burst of slap bass, it’s a moment that never fails to raise smiles both on and off stage.

Away from the bass, Matt is an avid mountain biker, a guitar tinkerer, and proud cat dad to The Egg — a Siamese with a personality (and opinion) as big as any band member. Easy-going, reliable, and endlessly nice, Matt is the kind of musician every band hopes to find.

Reliable, talented, and endlessly easy to be around, Matt makes every show feel better just by being there — and with him on bass, we’re all in safe hands.

Simon might be tucked away at the back of the stage, but don’t be fooled — he’s the heartbeat of the band and the one who secretly calls the shots. The show isn’t over until Simon plays the last beat… and exactly when that will be is anyone’s guess!

Entirely self-taught and playing everything by ear, Simon brings a mix of raw talent and instinct to his drumming. He’s got an uncanny ability to turn rehearsals into adventures, and his mischievous streak means he’s just as likely to keep us laughing as he is to keep us in time.

On stage, Simon’s energy is infectious — his beats drive every song forward and make each performance impossible not to move to. Off stage, you’ll find him in one of his ever-growing collection of t-shirts (the funnier or more drum-related, the better).

Simon’s rhythm doesn’t just hold us together; it makes every gig unpredictable, exhilarating, and unforgettable.
