Formed in 1987, LONDONBEAT quickly resonated with listeners by introducing a "New Beat" to the worldwide music stage,
a fusion of the individual experiences and inspirations of the 4 founders
Jimmy Helms, Jimmy Chambers, George Chandler and William Henshall
1988 - SPEAK
There's A Beat Going On' is the rock message of their creative freedom
... you can feel it in your bones...
''9 AM' reveals the magic of their unique harmonies... The Comfort Zone.
They gave a memorable performance in Holland for the 9th edition of Parkpop (The Hague).
Blending Motown-style harmonies, electronic dance beats, 70s funk rhythms and melodic guitars, the second album is a strong affirmation of the band's maturity.
1990 - IN THE BLOOD
'I've Been Thinking About You' features a magical guitar riff and a hypnotic, catchy chorus.
Such a tasty mix with an unshakeable pop hook that audiences and critics around the world are unanimous. Dazzling and infectious!
A veritable tidal wave ensued, propelling them to the top of the charts in 27 countries.
They were then invited to take part in BBC 1's Top of the Pops (TOTP) and the World Music Awards in Monaco.
'A Better Love', confirmed the band's success. And the list goes on...
'You Bring On The Sun', 'Come Back', 'Where Are You'...
6 studio albums, several EPs, compilations, countless remixes by worldwide DJ's relentlessly heating up dance floors with their greatest hits
and incredible live performances have made LONDONBEAT a legendary band.
..We must have been crazy when we thought we were just friends
cos' that special connection keeps on keeping on!
30 Years later, Londonbeat continue to delight crowds around the world.
The band consists of Jimmy Helms and Jimmy Chambers, cofounders of the original band, and Charles Pierre, who has been involved in production since the early days.
Whether accompanied by a philharmonic orchestra
or in the hustle and bustle of a music festival
they perform shows that mix their unforgettable 90s hits that everyone wants to hear again and again, with punchy remixes, impromptu a capella and revisited Classics.
'Keeping the memories alive', they feel like 'Some Lucky Guys' and are always more than thrilled to share their music.

that's magic! that's my definition of a hit!"
says Jimmy H.
