Led by Mark Beling, they have had countless hits and enjoy the ongoing respect of fellow professional musicians countrywide. Amongst other achievements in the music industry , Mark now also heads the Mark Beling Band. An amazing trio of musicians, doing classic rock 'n roll and contempory covers ranging from Queen to Maroon 5 ,TOTO ,the Black Eyed Peas etc, from the '70's right up to date. They are presently gigging at The Gumtree Manor in Midrand. They play on a Friday nights from 8 PM till late ( no cover charge ).

3 one and a half hour sets, with very little chit- chat between songs ?
I wept at their awesomeness.... :'(.....truelly.

The type of awesomeness that makes me personally want to sell all my music stuff.... ☹
