About Pre-Med

PRE-MED are a 5 piece rock band with strong leanings towards Space, Progressive & Psychedelic rock.  We play original music written by band members past and present - there may also be an occasional Hawkwind or Motorhead cover.  Please anticipate getting seriously beamed-up during a PRE-MED performance.

​

Danny Faulkner began PRE-MED in 2004 as a studio based project which morphed into a live band. "Medication Time" was released in 2005 followed by "The Truth About Us" in 2007 and "Einstein's Day Off" in 2013.

Danny left Pre-Med in 2014 passing leadership to his Bassman Dave Saunders.  Dave recruited Ash, Simon, Becky and Rick during 2014/15 and relaunched the band.  Multiple gigs followed including The Forum, Tunbridge Wells and The Carlisle, Hastings also several festivals including Sonic Rock Solstice, Hastrek and Stonehenge, "Prescriptionised" was released in 2017.  

​

Tragically both Dave Saunders and our Number 1 Fan

Kim Summers lost their battles with mental health problems and died in December 2018. It has been devastating to all of us - no words to describe.

​

Deciding to carry on with PRE-MED is the best way to honour and cherish Dave and Kim's memory. Rick has taken it on and recruited Mark to play Bass. 

 

The line-up since 2019 is:

Ashman Robinson Guitar

Simon O'Connell Keyboards

Becky "Boosh" Summers Lead Vocals

Rick Burtonshaw Drums

Mark Piercy Bass
