The Hawaiian Islanders are Roly Spurgeon Lap steel guitar and Backing Vocals, Vic Newberry Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals with John Rayner Bass Guitar and additional backing vocals.

The Band performs traditional and modern Hawaiian instrumental and vocal music in the style which enjoyed massive world wide popularity during the 20th Century. The Hawaiian Islanders also perform many ‘standards’ to which they add their own arrangements. The unique sound of the Hawaiian Islanders is frequently described as a bluejazzhawaiian fusion.

Roly’s unique, vibrant and inventive playing style is illustrated to brilliant effect in the music he performs which ranges from the unashamedly romantic ‘Beyond the Reef’ to the rousing ‘Hawaiian War Chant’, from the sophisticated ‘Million Moons over Hawaii’ thru to the up tempo ‘Don’t Sing Aloha’. Roly also provides backing vocals.

Vic provides a variety of rhythmic patterns on electric guitar complementing each individual melody. Vocals are also Vic’s forte from the unforgettable ‘Sentimental Journey’ thru to ‘In the Mood’ from the timeless ‘Blue Moon’ to the bluejazz arrangement of Richard Rogers’ classic ‘Lover’.

John's Bass lines add contour and colour and give a dramatic sense of pounding waves as in 'On The Beach At Waikiki' or primitive undertones weaving through 'Tiger Shark'. .

Whatever the occasion the music of The Hawaiian Islanders will both grace and enhance any event, cabaret or performance requirement etc.

Based in North West Kent the The Hawaiian Islanders live music band is available for bookings in the South East, London and the Home Counties Areas. Subject to arrangement the Band will always consider bookings further afield.
