Gary - Lead Guitar

Gary spent many years with the accomplished Chicago style blues band Poorboy before joining the band. He has a love of everything Fender and suffers from GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome!) and is forever buying effects pedals and amplifiers, searching for that elusive tone. His collection of flat caps is unrivalled in the Yorkshire blues scene.

Martin - Bass Guitar

Martin (aka 'The Captain') hails from New Zealand,  where he played with Marching Orders, The Flaming Stars, and The Wasp Factory,  releasing albums and singles on the Flying Nun and F-Star labels. Although he keeps it quiet, 'The Captain' plays a wide range of  instruments and is partial to the odd effects gadget, including the legendary 'bubble pedal.' He has also

been known to wear a hat on special occasions.

Nathan - Drums

'Young Nathan' is an accomplished musician and is a proper, real music graduate who brings musical class and much-needed youth to the band. Contrary to rumour; his beard is real, he is not 12 years old and he did not buy his drums from Argos.
