The Alibi are based in Bournemouth, UK and are available to book for pubs, clubs, festivals and private functions such as corporate events, weddings and birthday parties.

We have a vast catalogue of material, and are always willing to learn something new if you have an occasion that calls for it. Our typical show consists of two, roughly 45 min sets with a short break. But can accommodate any length of performance needed. We can, if needed, provide all of our own P.A. equipment, or else happy to use house gear.

Band History

The Group were formed in the mid 90’s by Dylan Brown and Sean Mathews, whilst studying together at the same university. Both from Bournemouth, the pair returned and decided to make a go of it. After a few changes here and there, The Alibi as we know it soon became one of Bournemouth’s hottest bands, playing all the top venues, and gaining a strong following. With Sean’s departure to Australia in the summer of 2001, the band recruited Kev Marshall. Packing balls and a hell of a lot of talent, the band grew in a matter of months to become tighter, and gain a much more distinctive sound. After a period of hibernation, and more reshuffling The Alibi arrive at today. With Sean Mathews back in the spotlight, and Lee Webb brought on board on the bass guitar, The Alibi are back, and ready to rock.
