About the Other Band Members           
Geoff
it’s true what they say, the band is only as good as your drummer. Great big ‘beast’ of a sound plays like Bonzo with the abandonment of Mitch Mitchell. Can be found howling every full moon and given the chance would be the first to throw a TV out of the window.
                                                           
Louis –
latest recruit and proving to be worth every penny we spent in the transfer market. Top singer with literary leanings who knows how to work the audience , also plays a mean gob iron. Likes frozen pizza and watching B-movies after a hard night gigging.
                                                           
Ken –
heartbeat of the band, pulsating rock steady bass keeps the songs driving. Legendary collector of guitars and amps, tries to sell me something every week. Only person in the band I can talk to about sharp 9 chords and pick-ups. A sound bloke who is a blues aficionado who knows his way around second hand cars.

Essential Listening           
The Doors, Love, Tom Waits, Dr. Feelgood, Son House, Led Zep, Credence Clearwater Revival, Beatles, Hendrix, Elvis Presley Sun sessions, The Byrds, The Pretenders, Manic Street Preachers
