Rob Berry & The Deadbeat is a classic rock and blues act with a twist. Fronted by full-time musician Rob Berry on lead vocals and guitar, the rhythm section is handled by The Deadbeat—a custom-built robotic skeleton drummer that genuinely plays live percussion (and chips in with the odd cheesy joke between songs).
Performing live professionally since his late teens, Rob brings decades of stage and studio experience to every booking. Alongside doing guitar session work for artists including Tom Robinson and Chris White (Dire Straits), his career as an engineer in top London and Bermuda studios saw him working on Keith Richards’ Talk is Cheap as well as alongside names like Alan Moulder, Gary Langan, and Johnny Marr.
Now playing full-time across private events, pubs, and festivals, Rob delivers a tight, crowd-pleasing set of classic rock and blues favourites with great sound, total reliability, and a show audiences talk about long after the night ends.

David Gilmour, SRV, Hendrix. So many favourites , to many to choose from. Comfortably Numb has to be the best all time song. It is always a hit at gigs.
Many years of gigging and studio work , I have always made a living in the music industry since I began at 19 years old.
Any, they are all great!
