The Rapiers - Straight To The Point (LP Off Beat/Ace Records WIK 40, 1985) 

Legitimamente reconhecido como "O Melhor Grupo de 60 desde os anos 60," The Rapiers apresentam um desempenho impressionante e autêntico do Pop e Rock 'n' Roll dos anos 60, num show perfeitamente coreografado. 

Com os Rapiers, regressamos de novo aos anos dourados e à juventude do rock britânico do início dos anos 60, no tempo dos cafés/bares, os casacos à moda da época (sem esquecer o lencinho branco na bolso frontal do casaco), os sapatos de bico afiado para combinar, e as juke-boxes despejando hits dos Shadows, Billy Fury, os Swinging Blue Jeans, Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, Cliff e muitos outros…! 

Especialistas em som beat e nos instrumentais ao estilo dos Shadows, os Rapiers construíram uma excelente reputação à sua volta, dedicando-se ao pormenor em todos os aspectos dos seus desempenhos. De equipamentos autênticos, instrumentos e trajes de palco à moda dos anos 60, sem dúvida que recriaram uma imagem perfeita da época, em simultâneo com os sons fidedignos do início dos 60’s. Excelente!

The Rapiers (1959-1963 - The Best British Invasion Band Since The 60's!)

The Rapiers - The Best British Invasion Band Since The 60's! (1959-1963)
Genre: Modern Merseybeat / British Invasion

Formed in the early eighties in the north of London, The Rapiers gained much influence and credibility for a sound that resemble a classic Merseybeat rock and roll sound like Cliff Richard and his backing group The Shadows. Known for being a great live act, magazines such as The Face and New Musical Express reported on the group.

"The current line-up of The Rapiers is Colin Pryce-Jones, lead guitarist, vocalist and founder member of the group, Dave Lawes, rhythm guitarist and vocalist who has been with Colin from the outset, Bradley Dallaston, bass guitarist and John Tuck, drummer. As for their music, As Colin says, "Over the years we've tried to put together an act which is based on memories of the Fentones, the Shadows and early sixties bands like the Gladiators and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, rather than stylising purely on the Shadows. The band really relates to a period between '59 and '63." The Rapiers also specialize in other respects. They perform numbers which have long since lapsed into obscurity. They don't merely concentrate on big hits. There were many fine recordings issued during 1959-1963 which were either minor hits or chart failures. In this respect, The Rapiers are unearthing a veritable treasure trove of long lost classics and re-presenting them to a new audience."
