About Us

The Civilians are a 4-piece covers band based in Yorkshire, who specialize in Indie, Ska, Mod, and Soul music with a few extras thrown in.


Previous fans will know the band originally formed in the mid 00s, before morphing into Mod Revue, which sadly ended post-covid.


The band now consists of original members Mr Paul Bretherton (guitar & lead vocals) and Mr David Potter (keyboards & backing vocals), but with the exciting addition of Mr Michael Curnow (bass & backing vocals) and Mr Matt Murphy (drums & backing vocals).
