Carlisle
born Lee Brennan teamed up with Spike Dawbarn and Jimmy Constable in 1995 to form the boy band 911. Whilst doing gigs around the country 911 signed a record deal with Virgin Records in 1996.
911 career finally took off and went from strength
to strength, the band sold over seven million
records, released four albums and had ten UK top
-10 singles including a number one with 'A
Little Bit More '. More classics soon followed,
notably 'Party People ', 'The Journey',
'Night to Remember', 'More Than A Woman
' and the energetic catching and dance rhythmic
hit 'Bodyshakin '.
The band was in great demand, their tours in the
UK and Asia were a huge success. It was just after
the Malaysia tour that 911 drained from gigging
decided to call it a day whilst still at the top.
911 announced the rumored split in February 2000. |
Lee went on co-writing a couple of tracks with Howard Donald, ex 'Take That' star and has since written a few more songs including a number one for the boy band Blue 'If you come back'.
In late 2001, 911 had the opportunity to put together
a theatre tour which culminated in the successful
'Reunited Tour'.
2002 brought the release of Lee Brennan's first
solo debut single 'Turn it Around', an up tempo spirited pop song.
Lee followed with an acting career, he has played
the role of Peter Pan in various Pantos around
England.
In 2005 the band was invited to take part in ITV
show 'Hit Me Baby One More Time ' up-staged
to give bands a fresh shot at today's chart, 911
won a place in the final where they performed
one of their many greatest hits - 'Bodyshakin
' and a cover version of 'S Club 7's' ' Dont' stop movin''.
Lee regularly rejoins with the band for gigs and whilst pursuing his acting career and song writing he's also coached vocals at the PopSkool's
