About the Other Band Members           
Steve
A dead nice guy, wonderful guitar player, crap driver… the number of times he’s got lost…! The second loudest guitar player in the band… only just.
                                                           
Ken –
by far the bands loudest member with the smallest kit since he got his Orange gear…Ken collects guitars and amps and PA’s and lots and lots of wires, he's always turning up with something new. I’ve played with Ken for over 12 years so we must be doing something right. Very solid as a bass player... did I mention loud!
                                                           
Louis –
it takes some bottle to stand up as a front man, or in Louis’s case experience as a Bingo caller in Blackpool. Feels like Louis has been with us for years, he settled in really well. Always up for a laugh… a dam good singer and harp player too.

Essential Listening
