Bands - PLATINUM

Platinum was the brainchild of music instructor and talented pianist Lloyd who finally took his thoughts and turned them into reality when in 2008 he gathered together talented musicians whom he had played alongside in various bands and formed his own band. The line up was settled throughout 2008 and 2009 however, following a change of direction by its lead singer at the start of 2010, Platinum recruited the skills and experience of the charismatic Alan Crockett as its new ‘front man’. Alan has brought the band to previously unimaginable levels of performance and the potential that the band has shown has now come to be realized.
