Band members ....

Some of the superb musicians that I regularly work with ....

THE TEAM:  

STEVE BRUCE - Drums and percussion

Previously with Cliff Richard, Rick Parfitt, Billy Ocean, Kokkomo, Zoot Money and Jim Mullen and many others including recording works with Trevor Horn. Steve has also performed on London West End shows, Godspell, Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

ANDY HERBERT - Bass guitar

A fine bass player who has previously been working with Zoot Money, Helen Terry, Ronnie Carol, Phil Collins, Van Morrison and Eddi Reader amongst others.

NIGEL PORTMAN-SMITH – Bass guitar

In bass guitar playing, Nigel is perhaps regarded as the 'Danny Thompson’ of his field which might suggest that he’s probably about as good as you can get. In fact, Nigel went on to fill the role left behind by Danny as bass player with legendary Folk-Jazz group, Pentangle since 1985 and in more recent times, he has regularly been the bass player with Bert Jansch. A class act!

 

PAPA GEORGE – Vocals and Guitar

London’s ’Mr Bluesman’ who wields a mean electric axe. Most recently seen sporting an array of ’glittering’ guitars such as the National steel resonators. We've been playing and touring together now for around 30 years and he still laughs at my jokes ..... Now that's a real buddy!  

 

STEVE SIMPSON - Vocals, guitar, fiddle and mandolin.

A fine guitarist and perhaps best known for his long serving role with Roger Chapman's Shortlist band. Steve was also a member of Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance.

 

ANDY WINFIELD - Vocals and guitars.

A great singer and guitarist best known for his works with the seminal pub rock band of the seventies, Juice On The Loose.

 

RICHARD HAYES - guitar.

Well known for his slide guitar playing with rock blues band 'Bad Influence'.

 

 

 

 

JAY STAPLEY - Guitar

Noted for his role with the bands of Roger ‘Pink Floyd’ Waters and Mike Oldfield’s  ‘Tubular Bells II’ tour.

 

RICHIE BRUNTON - Guitar

One of the UK's top session guitarists. Richie has been a full member of the bands of Gerry Rafferty, Barbara Dickson and Dr John to name just a few in his very respectable career.
