LIFESIGNS
Lifesigns was born from the idea of John Young (keyboards/vocals), Frosty Beedle (drums), Steve Rispin (sound), and Nick Beggs (bass/vocals). John Young would be the band’s unifying force throughout their development.
Their first album, Lifesigns, was released in February 2013 and sold well, reaching the UK Albums Top 100. Guests included Steve Hackett (Genesis), Robin Boult (Fish), and Thijs van Leer (Focus).
The band began touring the following year with Jon Poole joining to replace Nick Beggs, who was busy with other commitments.
Among their various concerts, notable appearances include Cruise To The Edge in the US and Night of the Prog at Lorelei in Germany, as well as the Ramblin’ Man and Cropredy festivals in the UK.
In 2017, they released their second album, “Cardington,” which reached the top ten on Amazon’s national charts and peaked at number four on the UK Indie charts, all without any radio play.
After “Altitude,” the band’s third album, they embarked on several tours and live album releases, where the band is at its most exciting.
Lately, they have been writing and recording their fourth studio album, work on which has already begun.
