Derby-based rock/pop covers band

It took a while to settle on a name, but the band has been together under various guises for nearly ten years now. We aim to provide an ecletic mix of entertainment, covering good old "pub rock" classics along with a smattering of less-often covered tunes that are nonetheless familiar. We like to think we achieve that, but we recommend you come along to see us and judge for yourself.

	Luca Despite his tender years and barely being able to count up to four (sometimes with "and" in between the numbers), Luca is the most "musically" qualified of the band. He already has the equivalent of a GCSE in Hitting Things With Sticks. His time spent with us is really just to give him some light relief from his true calling with his jazz outfit.
	Anna Anna was was drafted into the band as an emergency, stand-in bass player some ten years ago and we've not yet managed to get rid of her. During her tenure she has expanded her role to cover lead vocals and rhythm guitar, so it looks rather like she's got no intention of going anywhere. And as it turns out that suits us just fine.
	Jez There are some people who excel at one thing, and others who cope admirably in a number of areas. Jez is neither of these. You'd think he'd have enough on his plate playing lead guitar (something he still maintains he doesn't do), but he can't seem to help chipping in with his own, unique backing vocals. For a long time he was the only one with transport, which is probably how he ended up being considered "indispensable".
	Ben After failing to step back quick enough during the recruitment drive for a vocalist, Ben has come along in leaps and bounds, although we generally try to keep him lashed to his chair. He is equally happy taking on bass duties when Anna is singing; he says the bass speaks to him, but we think he's just externalising the voices in his head.

News

As Ben is now co-landlord of the highly successful and super-excellent Smithfield in Derby we are now performing on occasion as a three-piece. The set list is still full of the same sort of stuff and the performance is just as energetic, we just have to work around Ben's availabiity, which, as any landlords reading this will know, can be quite limited.

21 November 2017 : Our young drummer has made it through the first cut of this year's Young Drummer of the Year competition. He's into the final 40 from over 250 entrants, which is excellent. We really don't make full use of him at all.

We had a fantastic day at the Derbyshire Sausage and Cider Music Festival this summer (2017) and it's got us all fired up for trying a bit harder to put ourselves out there a bit more. Half of us are still students and the other half still have 'proper' jobs but with a little luck we'll manage to align our calendars a few more times before the year's out.

One of our number is currently away studying at university, which makes for interesting logistics and of course always takes priority. But keep an eye out - "like" us on Facebook - and you'll be updated as soon as we make our next booking.
