Louis // Lead bass

Lights, camera, bASS!

Rumor has it that Louis' bass is equipped with a secret disco ball that activates when he starts playing - that's the only way to explain why the crowd can't resist getting down!

Breandan // Guitar

Should probably be playing the guitar, but he's probably "fixing" the amp 🤷‍♂️

Breandan's guitar playing is so smooth, we're pretty sure it's the reason why the floor is so slippery on stage.

Often hidden at the back of photographs.

Jack's drumming is so powerful, we're pretty sure he could start a seismic event if he played hard enough.

Tommy // Vocals

If there's a microphone, he's probably behind it.

Tommy's singing is so good, it's like honey for your ears - except without the stickiness, unless you spill your drink, then all bets are off.

We have worked with Forced To Be Here on the Ocean Clean Up charity fundraiser, and they also headlined the Round The Corner venue in the fabric district on a Big Condo Records special event.

Forced to be here are a great band, you will hear some amazing classics in soul and snazz, amazing vocals and very good instrumentalists. We also loved the Johnny B. Goode cover which took the roof off.

Forced to be here are a group of great guys who arrive on time, sound checks are on point and they are professionals, we were happy to have them play at our events, all the best guys!
