Bio
Band Members
Craig McCabe (19) – Lead Vocals & Guitar
The youngest member of White Ace, Craig has a great stage presence and always puts 100% into his live performance. His skills on guitar have steadily developed into one of the finest on the unsigned scene. His voice - according to Jacob Sproul, lead singer of Rose Hill Drive – is “smokin”
Chris McCabe (20) – Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals, Harmonica & Piano
Chris has various styles of playing guitar - from slide to tapping his ability is evident as are his inspirations that include the likes of Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray Vaughan. An accomplished all round musician, Chris also brings a touch of blues to some of their new tracks on harmonica and piano. His song writing has flourished over the years and his partnership with his brother Craig is a great combination resulting in the production of some fine tracks.
Gerry Loughrey (21) – Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals
Gerry is laid back on stage, letting the other half of the rhythm section go sticks blazing through the performance and allowing the McCabe’s guitar melodies and vocals to shine. His excellent skills focus on providing the foundation that keeps the band tight and the groove rock solid.
Dave McCluskey (19) – Drums & Percussion
Dave started drumming at the age of 9 with the help of his good friend's uncle Quentin McAfee, who has worked with many successful bands. The more exuberant half of the rhythm section, his enthusiasm is clear for all to see during gigs as is his perfect timing, lightning speed and general brilliance. Phenomenal ability – he was recently described as “one of the best up and coming drummers of his generation”
