Meet the band
Stu – Drummer and backing vocals. Sometimes drives a van.
Stu is a heavyweight drummer. He knocks out a rhythm to ensure that the
other members are on their toes, whether they need to be or not. Stu is
the backbone of the band, holding it all together and whipping up an
atmosphere – or is that just Guinness?
Stu models himself upon some of the greats including Keith Moon, John
Bonham and Cozy Powell but as they’re all dead, we couldn’t ask them
what they thought of Stu. We did ask a lad who was at one gig who told
us he knew a drummer in Crosby so he’s pretty qualified. He said Stu was
‘okay’ so we were chuffed with that.
Wes – Bass Player and backing vocals. Talks funny.
Wes has got curly hair and he’s the tallest in the band. He plays bass
guitar but despite that, he is actually a decent musician as well. His
Geordie twang is noticeable between numbers. One lady ( aged 44 from
Stockbridge village) said, “ I love it, it’s right canny” Her husband
declined to comment.
Wes plays no part whatsoever in writing any of the band’s material
because they only do covers. He said, “Well, if I was a writer like, I’d
kinda be a bit of a cross between like Chris Rea and Lindisfarne and
that”
Danny – Guitarist and vocalist – sorts out rehearsals
Danny is the one remaining founder member or as one lady from Old Swan
said, “The original Born Loser” He stands at the front and plays guitar.
Sometimes he says funny things to the audience and on other occasions he
can’t be arsed. Dan is good at shifting and storing stuff. That is his
main job, to look after all the equipment just like a roadie. The band
rehearses regularly at the offices of a local
process server
