Bernie Laverick began his musical journey back in the 1970s playing lead guitar in a string of original rock bands most notably The Crack whose single Easy Street was released in 1980.
Since the late 80s Bernie has sung in numerous cover bands and is now the man behind the mic in the energetic electric folk band The Black Pearls.
