Introducing Zolene & The ALS Band
Step back in time to the late ’70s when the roots of The ALS Band were firmly planted by founding members Alan Mayberry and Alan Cook. The ALS Band’s unique name originated from a mixing desk feature – A double tracking button, aptly named, the “Absolutely Lush Sound” button, marking the beginning of an era.
Precision in Music, Passion in Performance
During this time the band were playing the biggest hits of the time from the likes of Eagles, Dire Straits, Frankie Valli, and many more. Songs that were so timeless, most of the setlist we are still playing today. A notable aspect of the band’s journey was Alan’s unwavering commitment to perfection. With a hitting stick in hand, he ensured the tightness of each practice, demonstrating a dedication that fueled the band’s success.
Generational Evolution
Fast forward a few decades, and a new chapter began with Alan’s son, Ziqh, joining the band at the age of 16. The band evolved into a dynamic three-piece, and soon after, Zolene, Alan’s daughter, joined at the age of 14. The family trio continued to weave musical magic for years, even as Alan declared, “I was already retired.”
Zolene & The ALS Band
Enter Kristian, Zolene’s long-time friend and jamming partner since primary school, who joined the ensemble around 2015. His presence allowed the band to continue their musical journey seamlessly, especially when Alan sought moments of retirement bliss. This transformation marked the birth of the “new ALS band,” now proudly known as “Zolene & The ALS Band.”
In recent years with even bigger gigs and bigger venues, the band has also had to expand. Enter long-time musician friend Martyn, our resident cowboy. Each member bringing something unique and fun to the band.
With sadly losing father of the band, Alan in 2022 to cancer we are still playing on in his honour.
