LEAD VOCALS:
Laura started singing and song writing when only 10 years old and now spends most of her spare time organising and promoting the band. She is a Business Development Consultant and Graphic Designer by trade, and likes to keep the website up to date and to promote the band. But entertaining an audience is what she loves best, and is always happy when in the limelight.
 
GUITAR AND VOCALS:
Simon has been playing guitar on and off for the last 30+ years. Heavily influenced by both The Stones and Eric Clapton as a teenager, Simon sought out their influences as well, leading to a love of early American Delta Blues, Chicago R'n'B, Atlantic Soul and Classic Rock. Over time, the influences broadened to encompass Country Rock, Reggae, Americana and popular pop/rock.

DRUMMER AND HARMONY VOCALS:
Brian started playing drums whilst at school in the 70's and has fond memories of playing his first gig at the local youth club at the age of 15. He's a big 70's rock fan, and in particular The Who and Yes feature heavily on his i-pod. Brian is happy to play many styles and genres but always likes to use the dynamics of the drum kit to colour the music and to provide mood and expression. 
  
BASS PLAYER AND HARMONY VOCALS:
Jason started playing bass when he was 14 when his dad bought him a little 3/4 size guitar. He never really took it seriously until he got interested in country music on the old CMT (Country Music Television) channel in the 90's. However his taste in music is firmly embedded in the seventies disco era and his bass idol is Bernard Edwards from the band 'Chic'  - "he is a funking god!" says Jason.
 
 
KEYBOARD:
Mike has been playing the keyboard for many years, his style of playing is technically brilliant and full of energy. Originally classically trained, Mike has played with various bands and duos over the years. He currently teaches the piano part time and his musical repertoire ranges from as early as the 1920's, right through to current day charts hits. 

SOUND ENGINEER:
Glenn is our Live Sound Engineer and
 controls the live sound that you will hear at our performances. We create the music and Glenn amplifies it, making the overall sound the best that it can be at each and every venue!
