Drive

This act is no longer performing, but check out our range of current acts at our sister site Christchurch Entertainment Bureau

Drive is the band for all occasions where entertainment is paramount, and you need the enjoyment of singing and dancing to be a must at your special event.

Aaron Nicol has been slapping the bass for more than 25 years, and enjoyed many fantastic moments thanks to his curiosity in the instrument along with a desire to fill people with a joyous musical experience. He’s been a regular member of numerous live bands such as I and I, Lincoln Drive, True Story, and No Secrets. And on special occasions Aaron has been requested to complete the line-up for ˜Desendantz, Kharamello, Nightwatch and Headrush due to his fantastic ability to play any genre of music that has been required. It’s very rare you get to do something you love with people who also love it, and with Drive you get 3 guys who love to play great music and make people happy to leave them with great memories.

Michael Whiting is a mad, married, music lover which is the perfect mix to being the drummer of Drive. Mike has been slamming the skins, and singing timeless anthems for over 20 years, and has teamed up with the 3 piece band because he ‘still gets a buzz from playing great music that makes people dance and feel good. I’m looking forward to working with 2 lads who bring a lot of professionalism to the stage, and being in a job where you can have a bunch of fun and yet get paid for it. And nothing beats the approval you get from happy music lovers!

Jarrett McGregor is the singer and guitarist in Driveâ who has been entertaining since his teens. Armed with his versatile tenor voice and trusty 57 Fender Stratocaster, he plays the songs that you want to hear and he especially enjoys it when you sing and dance along. “I play music because I love seeing the joy in people, whether it’s a special occasion or on a Friday night at a local bar after a tough week at work. I strive to create an environment where everyone has a fantastic evening. Coming from doing solo, duo and all other manners of band work, Jarrett has the skills to make your night a memory to cherish.
