History |
All of the guys and gals in the band
have been playing in working bands for many years. Dave
("Fat B*stard/Charlie") has been playing in bands since the 60's,
and appeared on Granada TV with his band in 1968. He also taught the younger
ones all he knows - which took about 10 minutes. Lynn
("Harmony") has been playing the bass since she was 9 years old
and appeared on National TV in New Faces, along with her brother
Dave ("Austin") in the same band.
Dave was also an original member of the boyband Our Kid who had a
number 2 hit in 1976 with "You Just Might See Me Cry" and both
Lynn and Dave have been in bands with Ian McNabb (Icicle Works) and Chris
Sharrock (now Robbie Williams' drummer). Matt
("James Bond") was drummer in the resident band at Liverpool's
Cavern Club for 6 years. He's played percussion in War of the Worlds
with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and has played in bands for Michelle
Gayle and Rose Royce, as well as supporting acts such as the Average White
Band, Wishbone Ash and Atomic Kitten. He is also one the three songwriters
of the Liverpool 08 new anthem for Capital of
Culture. Pete ("Dr Evil") has been
playing keyboards since he was 7 and has a BTEC in Performing Arts. He played
in the Abba Mania theatre show at venues such as the Liverpool Empire and
Manchester Opera House. Hayley ("Melody")
