Facsmile is a five piece indie/rock covers band based in the Midlands. Formed in 2009, we have played a wide range of venues and events from weddings, to private parties, festivals, bars and clubs.

Our singer Ollie has a fantastic voice that is somehow able to sound similar to every artist we cover yet sounding individual at the same time! He has long hair that is known to bring women to their knees!

Lead guitarist Liam is influenced by classic guitarists such as Clapton, Hendrix and David Gilmour, but mixes that with his own contemporary style and grunge inspired sounds. He is also the tallest member of the band.

By contrast guitarist Gareth is one of the shorter members of the act which he makes up for with persona and sound. Gareth is a sound specialist and prides himself on using the guitar to fill in the soundscape and ensure that each song sounds like our own interpretation of the original.

Bassist Miffy is the band's dark shadow, often wearing a hat and shades. Miffy knows just what to play and is just as capable at playing in the style of Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers as he is playing a strong simple bassline on the beat.

Last but not least drummer Dave 'Thinchap' Layzell is one of Derbyshire's best drummers. He learns songs inside out, can play the most complicated drum parts whilst making them look easy and knows when not to play as well. A total musician.

Fax combine the strengths of each individual performer into a cohesive whole that performs each track as though it was their own, producing a performance that the audience can't help but sing and dance along to.
