Mivvi originally formed in the early nineties, and were well known as a bouncy, upbeat pop/rock foursome until, jaded by the music industry, they split in 1999.
In 2002, Big Rich decided to learn the drums, and started jamming with his cousin Nicky P.
This soon lead to a revival of a lot of the old mivvi songs as rich had always been a fan, Mivvi: was reformed a new with two of the original members, plus a new drummer.
The three piece combo rapidly made several of the original mivvi favourites into new, revamped and revived versions, along with adding a healthy dose of their own newer, rawer sounding songs, and started gigging in and around the birmingham scene, doing such events as the birmingham artsfest in chamberlain square.
