Back in the 90s The Surfivors were a fresh-faced
instrumental group playing mostly “Surf” music
from the 50s and 60s. They were having some
success in local pubs and clubs, but they were
overjoyed to land a gig on a round the world cruise -
not least because of the free alcohol on offer.
After a particularly heavy session on the first night
aboard, and not yet knowing their way around, they
fell asleep in one of the lifeboats in the early hours
of the morning.
At about 6am the ship’s crew ran a life boat drill, which went slightly wrong, and much later that afternoon
the band awoke to find themselves drifting at sea, with no ship - or land - in sight….
After many eventful days at sea - tired, thirsty, hungry.
with sun bleached hair, they finally came across the
uninhabited desert island that they now call home…
For several years nothing was heard from them, until one day a bottle washed up on Whitstable beach -
and it contained a message from the band… To find out more, visit the “Contact” page of this site.
