The Meantime Band is a five-piece powerhouse playing the best rock, pop, soul, and funk hits from across the decades—because why settle for just one era of greatness?
They know how to play, they know how to sing, and they know how to turn any pub, festival, or private event into an unforgettable night of music and dancing.
The front man. The Voice. He sings rock, Indie, soul, funk, pretty much anything. He has been known to sing the 6 o’clock news. With over 30 years of experience as a vocalist, he laughs, he cries, he screams. Then he gets on stage and really puts on a show.
Ravi’s guitar sound is a nostalgic time machine that’ll take you straight to a smoky bar in 1985, where the air smells like hairspray and regret.His playing can melt your face while also giving you the deep existential comfort of a late-night whiskey. Whether he’s playing an old, beat-up Strat or one of his 72 other guitars, Ravi has a unique ability to make each note sound like it's been poured directly from the Mississippi River into your soul.
The Holy Funk Master. Phil learned early in church that a sharp snare crack is the only divine way to wake up a sleeping congregation. Powered by real ale, West Ham, and the purple spirit of Prince, he seamlessly bridges Sunday worship and Saturday night pub chaos. He loves all music except Country, which he aggressively drowns out with 12-minute drum solos. Don't send him a Spotify link—his house is held together entirely by CD jewel cases.
The “Groove Viking”. He left Sweden for London with nothing but his bass and a well-worn ABBA t-shirt. Raised on a steady diet of Roxette, Europe, and The Cardigans, he lays down basslines so deep, they could summon the Kraken—or at least shake the screws loose on a Billy bookcase.
Piano and Keys - Classically trained at the Guildhall but long since corrupted by jazz, blues and funk. Has played with Go West, Rick Parfitt, Mike Flowers Pops and The Jazz Knights. Approaches every song as an opportunity to add “just a bit more funk”.
