BAND HISTORY
The band formed in 2006 and have been basically recording ever since. They have so far unanimously decided that they are collectively primarily a recording band and have no plans to perform live gigs although many of them have extensively done so in the past. They have so far recorded enough music (all original material) for four or five albums and plan on releasing at least one a year over the next decade or so.

bAND MEMBER bIOGRAPHIES
Hopefully over time we'll get to know more about these musicians, and maybe even get some snapshots, but for the moment this is all we have:-
Ricky Ingrams - Drums/Percussion/Backing vocals
Ricky is a versatile player capable of many styles. He has an interesting technique which brings out his ambidexterity by often switching his steady snare hitting and cymbal bashing from one hand to the other. Ricky has several drum setups he likes to use, but his favourite is his trusty Ludwig set.
Oscar Tompkins - Bass Guitar/Double bass/Percussion/Backing vocals
Oscar for the most part uses an active Fender Precision guitar which he says is a bit of a beast to tame at times.
Bobby Samson - Lead vocalist/Rhythm guitars
Bobby is the front man of the band and has a unique voice which easily identifies him. He loves playing rhythm guitar and certainly knows his chords. He mostly uses a Fender Telecaster, but on quite a few songs in the repertoire uses 12 and 6 string acoustic guitars.
Eddie Jasons - Lead Guitars/Backing vocals
Eddie loves his white Fender Strat, but often uses a Fender Telecaster as well.
Rod Undermann - Organ/Backing vocals
Rod is a great all rounder on the organ, but really shines when it comes to the more bluesy songs.
Tom Standers - Piano
Tom is the quiet member of the band personality wise, however he more than makes up for this with his comprehensive piano playing.
Brenda Tenison - Cellos/Violins
Rachael Masters -Violins/Cellos
Oswald Upfield - Double Bass/Contra Bass
Wally Souls - Keyboards
Wally is the techno wizard of the band and is responsible for all the great synth playing and sound effects.
Nicholas Ilford - Trumpets
Fiona Crawmay - Vibes/Percussion
Ralph Arden - Tenor Sax/Saxes
Neil Kingston - Flutes/woodwind
Itjustmusic Choir - Philippa Twain, Denise Katnell, Angela Preston, David Crane, Michael Atwell, James Lewis
