Way back in 2006, a simple website arrived on the world wide web called www.back2bowlers.co.uk. This was a meeting place that the former patrons of life@bowlers events back in the early 90's could get together and discuss their memories and times of that fabulous era. It wasn't long....in fact one year later in 2007 that the first ever bowlers reunion event was held at the legendary Park Hall nightclub. These spectacular reunion events continued to take place throughout the next couple of years, moving to 53 Degrees in Preston, and then in 2012.....the unthinkable happened.

The Marley Experience are an eight piece Midlands based Bob Marley Tribute band with a difference, with lead vocalist Lionart & his undeniable vocal resemblance to the late great King of Reggae Bob Marley himself. Lionart has performed on stage alongside famous Reggae stars such as Dawn Penn, Erroll Dunkley & David Rodigan and has been the lead vocalist in bands such as the Friendly Fire Band & the Roots Ambassadors as well as playing trumpet for Reggae band Natural Mystic.

Fronted by Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), the band was formed in 1976 while the members were at school together, and among their early incarnations were known as Stoop Solo and the Sheet Starchers. None of the members had any formal musical training, not even the ability to play any instruments. They were popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period when lots of similar ska bands filled the charts. Some of their hits include 'My Girl Lollipop', 'Lip Up Fatty', 'Special Brew' and 'Ne-Ne-Na-Na-Na-Na-Nu-Nu'. One of the main reasons for their notoriety was because of their outlandish, larger-than-life, huge-tongued & shaven-headed front man. Buster´s exploits got them banned from the British TV chart show Top of the Pops (which included dressing as Henry VIII and singing to a blow-up doll for the song 'Lorraine', pouring a large can of baked beans over his head, and dressing in a can-can dancer´s dress to promote their single 'Can-Can').
